Revamping industrial plants

The term industrial revamping refers to a modernization of a machine or plant that has reached the end of its productive life cycle.

By revamping industrial electrical and energy plants, the useful life of a machine can be extended by as much as fifteen to twenty years, with an average cost estimated at around half that of buying a new machine.

Modernization can involve an entire industrial plant, a production line or a single industrial machine.

The improvements that can be achieved through revamping are many:

• Implementation of innovative technologies with related improvement of production processes and overall machine performance;
• Machinery retrofitting to comply with any new environmental regulations;
• Bringing the machinery up to standard with a view to improving personnel safety;
• Lower energy consumption and consequent improvement in energy efficiency;
• Reduction of routine maintenance costs.

The first phase of an industrial revamp is to analyze the machine in its current state, the operations it performs, and the speeds and quality it provides. Then the components are examined, operating a kind of deep maintenance in order to restore the machine to a level of performance equal to or better than that of a new plant.

If possible, any ameliorative solutions provided by technological innovations are adopted and, at the same time, changes are made to ensure compliance with current regulations.

By working with our partners, we can combine modernization work on electrical components with mechanical revamping of the machine, from repainting to minor work on machine covers.

After the industrial plant revamping work is finished, the machines undergo testing and technical verification before being put back into production.

Of particular interest to Italian industry is energy industrial plant revamping for the modernization and regeneration of power plants that produce energy to industry. Energy industrial plant revamping is a strategic opportunity for the competitiveness of Italian industry in the global market.

INTEC Automazione Sistemi has a specialized cogeneration department that is able to propose new and used solutions in the field of energy cogeneration and trigeneration. We have the ability to propose turbine or endothermic engine plants taken from bankrupt companies that, at a significantly lower cost, can provide adequate electricity and heat energy for your company.

Our technicians can calculate and size the power plant according to the customer’s consumption, assemble and wire the system until final testing.

Service teams ensure the maintenance work necessary for the perfect operation of turbines and engines through maintenance contracts that may also include other parts of the plant.
