▫ Retrofit
Are you planning to retrofit your machine?
We don't just modernize machines. We analyze processes, identify bottlenecks, and develop retrofit solutions that sustainably improve productivity, quality, safety, and energy efficiency.
Do these difficulties sound familiar to you?
INSUFFICIENT PRODUCTION CAPACITY
A new production line isn't always necessary. Through targeted upgrades, it is often possible to achieve higher production speeds, shorter drying times, or reduced setup times, thereby significantly increasing the capacity of existing systems.
VARYING PRODUCTION QUALITY
New monitoring systems and state-of-the-art automation enable precise control of web guidance, the coating process, and drying. This ensures consistent quality and greater product reliability.
LACK OF FLEXIBILITY
New products require flexible production facilities. We create the conditions for faster product changeovers, variable process parameters, and a wider range of materials, formulations, and production conditions.
HIGH POWER COSTS
Energy-intensive coating and drying processes, in particular, offer significant potential for savings. Energy consumption can be significantly reduced through optimized airflow, modern drying technology, efficient drives, and intelligent control systems.
OUR SOLUTIONS fOR YOU
From the initial analysis through to successful commissioning and optimization, our project management team supports every phase of the retrofit project.
We analyze your existing equipment and processes, identify optimization potential and assess the technical and economic condition of your system.
 | Equipment assessment & process analysis |
 | Potential and economic evaluation |
 | Individual retrofit strategy |
Based on our analysis, we develop a tailored retrofit concept –from the targeted modernisation of individual components to the optimization of complete production lines.
| Modernisation and upgrade concepts |
| Integration of new technologies |
| Feasibility assessment & Layout planning |
We translate the retrofit concept into a technically robust solution. We define the requirements for components, systems and interfaces and ensure that the modernised equipment integrates seamlessly with the existing technology.
| Mechanical and electrical design |
| Definition of automation and drive technology |
| Interface and safety concept |
We compare available components and suppliers independently of specific manufacturers and select the partners that best match your technical and commercial requirements. This ensures high-quality solutions for key modules while allowing us to consider your preferred suppliers where required.
| Component matching |
| Interface management |
| Supplier audits |
We coordinate the installation and integration of the modernized components and oversee implementation on site. Following assembly, we work with the partners involved to ensure smooth commissioning and handover of the equipment.
| Assembly & integration |
| Commissioning & functional testing |
| Documentation & handover |
Following commissioning, we optimize the equipment for stable, efficient and future-ready production.
| Process and production optimization |
| Increased performance and flexibility |
| Digitalization & continuous optimization |
Through structured project planning and proven project management, we ensure on-time implementation, transparent communication, and a smooth retrofit process.
WE HAVE THE SKILLS FOR YOUR PROJECT
Our engineers have decades of experience in roll-to-roll production as well as in coating and drying processes, and they understand the challenges you face in your production.
Our high-precision die coaters are designed to deliver outstanding coating accuracy, uniformity, and process stability. With customizable configurations, our coating systems can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of a wide range of coating applications.
Whether it's convection, infrared, or combined drying systems, JCS develops the solution that fits your process.
Consistent winding quality for demanding applications.
Our winding systems ensure precise and reliable roll formation, even with sensitive materials and demanding process conditions.
High-performance coating lines for precise, efficient, and reliable production – from unwinding and coating through drying, web handling, and winding to complete line integration.
Our customers come to us with specific challenges—and we respond with process expertise. JCS analyzes existing production processes and equipment methodically and comprehensively: practically through structured on-site inspections, analytically based on collected operational data, and numerically through targeted modeling and evaluation of process parameters.
The starting point is always the current state of your plant. The goal is measurably improved performance—in quality, throughput, reproducibility, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Our recommendations are specific, prioritized, and immediately actionable—without unnecessary detours through standard solutions.
