Retrofit

Renewing an obsolete or damaged machine

Refurbishment or revamping consists of renewing an obsolete or damaged machine. This process is crucial for restoring a dated machine and making it safe again. Nova Sidera performs this service for both its own machinery as well as third-party machinery. It consists of much more than simply disassembling and repainting the machine; in over 300 hours of work, the machine is completely disassembled into more than 2,500 components and rebuilt entirely.
