Retrofit and modernisation

Upgrade your plating plant, do not replace it

We add automation, new tanks, power and fume control to a plant you already run.

What we upgrade

Six ways to bring an older plant up to date

Pick one, or combine them. We start with a site visit and tell you what is worth changing.

Automation upgrade01

Automation upgrade

A manual or semi-automatic line gets PLC, SCADA and HMI control, so every step repeats the same way.

Material handling02

Material handling

A transporter carries racks between tanks, so people lift and walk less.

New PP tanks03

New tanks

Worn or undersized tanks are replaced with PP, PPH, FRP, MS or SS tanks made to your size.

Power and controls04

Power and controls

A newer plating rectifier and a PLC control panel give steadier current and clearer control.

Fumes and filtration05

Fumes and filtration

A fume scrubber, blower, chemical filter or oil skimmer where the air or the bath needs help.

More capacity06

More capacity

Extra tanks or a new barrel or rack line, added next to the plant you already run.

Before you retrofit

The upgrade path

From manual to fully automatic, one step at a time

A retrofit moves your plant to the right, a part at a time. You decide how far to go.

Manual plant01

Manual plant

Operators load, move and time every step by hand.

Semi-automatic plant02

Semi-automatic plant

Temperature and current run automatically. Loading stays manual.

Fully automatic plant03

Fully automatic plant

A gantry, PLC and HMI run the whole cycle.

Keep what still works

What we check on the site visit

Most plants have good parts and tired parts. We walk the line with you, note which is which, and tell you plainly what can stay.

How a retrofit goes

Four steps from first visit to hand over

You always know what is being changed, and why.

01

Site visit

We see the plant, the tanks, the power and the controls, and listen to what is not working.

02

Plan and quote

You get a clear list of what to keep and what to change, with a quote for each part.

03

Build and fit

New tanks, panels and equipment are made for your plant and fitted on site.

04

Trial and training

We trial the upgraded line and train your team. Support continues after hand over.

Questions

Before you upgrade

The questions we hear first. For anything else, call us.

Talk to an engineer
Can you upgrade a plant that another maker built?

In most cases yes. We start with a site visit, check the tanks, structure, power and controls, and tell you what can stay and what should change.

Do I have to buy a whole new plant?

No. You can upgrade one part at a time. Many customers start with the controls or with one new tank and add the rest later.

Can you add automation to a manual line?

Yes. Our automation team programs PLC, SCADA and HMI for manual and semi-automatic lines.

Where do you work?

We are based in Avadi, Chennai, with a branch office in Ahmedabad. We have also exported plants to the UAE.

How do I get a quote?

Send photos of your plant and a few lines about the process on WhatsApp or the form below. We will tell you what we need to see next.

Planning a new plating, anodizing or phosphating plant?
