Installation Modernisation
The spectrum of the installation modernisation stretches from smaller retrofittings to the complex modernisation of whole production sites. In large modernisation projects success not only depends upon future oriented technology but above all is due to the right concept.
Concept Development in Dialogue
For installation modernisation, Achenbach makes the whole spectrum of its technological knowledge and experience of machine building available in order to satisfy the customer’s wishes.
Good business relations and mutual respect ensure high efficiency and effectivity in the cooperation.
The complex aim especially in large modernisation projects results from specific customer requests such as:
- Increase of the installation productivity
- Increase of quality of the prepared products
- Change of the product flexibility, i. e. reduction or extension of the product programme
- Change of the production flexibility, i. e. greater or lesser time adjustment to the requirement of individual customers
In summarising, realistic goals of productivity, product quality and flexibility, keeping in mind what is technically feasible is of central importance for project success particularly in the case of big installation modernisation projects.
Concept Development with the most modern problem solution modules
Pathbreaking for a comprehensive modernisation of rolling mills are particularly modules which, in an “integrated” approach, comprise process automation, mechanical and drive components
Achenbach has developed a series of integrative trouble solution modules and adapts these optimally to the existing customer desires and requirements in each installation modernisation.
In rolling mill construction, considering the place of installation, the following modules are concerned:
- Strip and coil handling
- Central part of the rolling mill
- Automation with OPTIROLL®
- Rolling oil management with OPTIPURE®
Smaller modernisation projects in the rolling mill building and the modernisation of foil cutting machines, filtration systems, exhaust air systems and rectification systems as well as additional systems like oil systems comprise the dismantling and the modernisation of individual components or the exchange of control software.
At all modernisation projects the timing planned by Achenbach plays a decisive role, in order to interrupt the current production only minimally.
