When a press brake or shear is scrapped, it creates tons of waste that is difficult to recycle. This then forces more materials to be extracted from the planet and additional energy to be used to remake a machine that will have more than 90% of the same characteristics as the one that was just destroyed.
\nMost of the time, however, these large machines are not disposed of, but start passing from hand to hand. They are resold to rather needy companies where they will continue to function for another several decades, not retrofitted, inevitably causing work accidents whose human and social damage will never be quantifiable.
\nThe ultimate end of these press brakes or shears is \u201ccannibalisation\u201d, which they undergo in order to repair other \u201ctwins\u201d machines, while the remaining non-usable parts will end up lying hypothetically forever \u201cdumped\u201d somewhere, sometimes even left to pollute beaches or forests…<\/p>\n
RETROFITTING INTERRUPTS THIS CHAIN, OR RATHER PREVENTS IT,
\nKEEPING THE MACHINE EFFICIENT FOR A THEORETICALLY INDEFINITE NUMBER OF CYCLES.<\/p>\n
Let us then consider a more practical side, namely the economic side. Why invest resources to redo the same things we already built or to buy the same ones?
\nRetrofitting is actually very cost-effective. First of all, it is immediately obvious that the purchase of a new press brake or shear is far more expensive than a retrofit, which costs about 10 times less.
\nRetrofitting is also to be considered a real business investment.
\nA retrofit, the cost of which is amortised within 1 year (as opposed to 10 years for a new purchase), allows an immediate increase in production capacity.
\nRetrofitting, in fact, not only optimises safety, it also improves the performance of a machine that the company’s operators are already familiar with and confident with, and only increases the quality and speed of work.<\/p>\n
RETROFITTING IS THE SMART INVESTMENT THAT MULTIPLIES VALUE AND SAVINGS:
\nINVEST BETTER, GROWN FASTER<\/p>\n
