Machine retrofit and rebuild services

Existing equipment often has years of useful mechanical life remaining but is limited by outdated controls, worn components, or capabilities that no longer match current production requirements. IMC retrofit and rebuild services modernize existing machines with updated technology while preserving the structural and mechanical investment you've already made.

Retrofit capabilities

Controls upgrades

Replace obsolete PLC, HMI, and drive systems with current industrial control platforms, matched to the controls standard your plant runs. Updated programming, improved operator interface, and modern communication protocols. Eliminates obsolescence risk and enables integration with plant-level systems.

Drive system upgrades

Replace worn or obsolete drive systems with current AC vector drives and motors. Improved speed control, tension management, and energy efficiency.

Mechanical upgrades

Replace worn rolls, bearings, shafts, and web handling components. Upgrade roll assemblies, dancer systems, and web guiding for improved precision. Add process capabilities (new coating stations, drying zones, or converting operations).

Safety upgrades

Update safety systems to current OSHA, NFPA, and NEC requirements. Add or replace guarding, emergency stops, interlocks, and safety PLCs.

Assessment

IMC begins every retrofit project with a thorough machine assessment. Our engineers evaluate the mechanical condition, electrical systems, controls platform, and safety compliance of the existing machine, then recommend the scope of work that delivers the best return on investment.
