A new life for used band saws

 

1st MEBAretrofit: used, but reliable.

Who hasn’t experienced this?
The old band saw is still in good condition, but no longer meets the requirements of modern technology and production.
But should you replace the outdated production machine with a new one straight away?
This is often not necessary.
Instead, a retrofit can be a cost-effective alternative to bring your machinery up to the latest state of the art.
Do you have a MEBA metal band saw?
Then you can extend the service life of your band saw in many cases with the sophisticated MEBAretrofit service package.
A retrofit for MEBA saws is between 40 – 60% less than the price of a new machine, depending on the cost, extends the service life by around 10 years and significantly reduces repair costs.
In addition, the overhaul of the machine restores precision and therefore quality that has been lost due to wear.
The overhaul not only improves operation and safety, but also increases productivity.
With the MEBA retrofit service, your company can optimize its production and save money at the same time.
We offer individual solutions for every requirement and ensure that your old band saw is as good as new.
Below we take a closer look at the options for extending the service life of your saw.

2 What is behind such a retrofit?

Retrofit in general means retrofitting, converting, modernizing.
But it also means servicing, repairing and maintaining your machine.
And of course this also applies to an MEBAretrofit.
To be more precise, with an MEBAretrofit you receive a service package that includes a comprehensive overhaul of your used band saw.
It will be restored to almost new condition and its reliability will increase enormously.
The process is very simple: Experienced MEBA technicians carry out an inspection of the existing saw at your premises, during which all relevant components are checked for functionality.
This includes a safety check, functional check and a comprehensive fault analysis.
This is followed by expert advice on what work needs to be carried out on the machine and which additional packages will also provide valuable upgrades for your production.
As the customer, you decide on the scope of the overhaul, i.e. what is actually replaced or renewed.
If the order for a retrofit is placed, MEBA collects the saw and customer support takes care of the work at the MEBA factory in the shortest possible time, so that you do not have any unnecessary downtime.

3. fitness for your existing machine: the MEBA service package explained in more detail

Our service package ensures that used band saws are restored to top condition and work reliably and safely.
MEBA offers a basic package which, as the name suggests, includes the essential basics of your existing machine.
The saw is dismantled, cleaned and dry-blasted.
Defective parts and wearing parts are replaced.
Adjustments are made, band discs are replaced and the tank is cleaned and the oil changed.
The safety equipment is also usually brought up to date during the retrofit.
In addition, the hydraulics and coolant hoses are replaced, to name just a few of the tasks.
Finally, a test cut is carried out and the machine is removed.
The basic package makes a significant contribution to optimizing the sawing performance: An old and often unreliable machine is turned back into a modern and efficient bandsaw that can be in use for many more years.

Then MEBA offers additional retrofit work.
This involves retrofitting, material clamping, gears, electrics, hydraulics, controls, linear guides or even the appearance and design of your bandsaw.
Our aim is for the saw to look like new after the retrofit and, above all, to work reliably again.
Its functionality and performance should be at the highest level.
We use all our expert knowledge to achieve this.
Our training courses for operating personnel should also contribute to customer satisfaction.
After all, the machine should be operated correctly in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

4. the advantages of overhauling your existing saw summarized again
