Upgrade machines. Unlock new value.
Retrofits
A machine that no longer matches your product range is not necessarily at the end of its life. dph retrofits modernise existing coffee and tea machinery — controls, drives, format parts and safety systems — so an installed asset can run new formats, higher speeds and current standards without the investment of a full replacement.
What you get
- Extend machine lifetime at a fraction of replacement cost
- Add new bag, capsule or pack formats to existing equipment
- Increase output and consistency with upgraded components
- Improve energy efficiency and reduce material waste
- Bring machines in line with current safety standards
- Reduce breakdown risk by replacing obsolete parts
What the service covers
Control and software upgrades
Obsolete PLCs, HMIs and drives replaced with current, supported hardware, including recipe management and data capture.
Format and tooling additions
New format parts and change kits so an existing teabag, capsule or packaging machine can run additional pack styles.
Mechanical modernisation
Sealing systems, dosing units, drives and transport sections rebuilt or replaced to restore rated performance.
Safety and compliance
Guarding, safety circuits and documentation updated to meet current requirements at your production site.
How we work
- Step 1
Machine audit
We survey the machine on site or by video, and document its condition and control generation.
- Step 2
Upgrade proposal
A scope is defined with expected gains — formats, speed, efficiency, compliance — and a parts list.
- Step 3
Implementation
The retrofit is executed in a planned shutdown, in cooperation with the original manufacturer where relevant.
- Step 4
Commissioning
The upgraded machine is tested in production and your operators are trained on the new functions.
