UniSpare Spare Parts Service
Spare parts and component supply
This applies to simple spare and wear parts, individual spare parts packages, as well as to manufacturing and special parts, consulting and assembly service included, which are in-house manufactured by us for your purposes. We guarantee you both, the availability of your parts over the entire operating life and a rapid response in cases of emergency.
UniCheck Technical Service
In the course of a UniCheck Technical Service we offer you tailor-made solutions in order to secure a long-term performance of your machinery. Your machinery is inspected by a basis check ranging from a survey of the machinery’s status to a detailed inspection of special parts.
The qualified evaluation result is laid down in a service report. Thus, we can offer you a needs-based action plan aiming at the optimization of all services and system downtime avoidance.
In case of a problem, our comprehensive service comprises also the repair of components and any kind of on-site technical support by our experienced service specialists. Therefore, longer downtimes can be avoided and your machinery availability is ensured. Moreover, our remote service offers you a quick and cost-effective problem solution in many areas.
UniMod Upgrades & Modernization
UniMod Upgrades & Modernization come into question in case you want to extend or change your machinery performance. This applies to both, machinery of own origin (Achenbach) but explicitly also of third-party machinery (other manufacturer). By using new or additional technology components in the course of an upgrade you bring your machinery up to the latest technological date and are able to improve the machinery’s productivity and quality at short notice and at modest costs. Thus, you do not only improve your market position but also avoid unplanned downtimes.
Great experience and expertise qualify Achenbach also for being the preferred contact for particularly demanding and comprehensive modernization tasks – no matter if the modernization task is technologically demanding, not matter if it is difficult due to the machinery‘s age and no matter if it is the modernization of a complete production plant (if appropriate with relocation service). Such a modernization is done in an integrative approach considering different fields of technology (automation and control systems, process systems, mechanics, and hydraulics) and normally requires a feasibility study and technological consulting.
Modernization and relocation of a foil rolling mill: integration of a 1,450 mm wide machine into the material flow with 2,150 mm strip width
After defining the target mix and the assessment of potential in detail the tailor-made renewal respectively the adjustment of both, mechanic & hydraulic rolling mill components as well as its automation and control systems were executed. In order to secure a state-of-the-art performance of the rolling mill to be modernized, the rolling oil system, the rolling oil filtration system, and the electrical equipment were modernized, as well.
The order comprised assembly supervision and recommissioning on site at the customer's location.
Retrofitting of an online inspection system PHD (Pin Hole Detector) for detecting of finest holes in a third-party separator
After defining the target mix and the assessment of potential in detail the mechanical adaption of the separator and the controlling integration of the Pin Hole Detector into the existing switchboard were executed. The order comprised assembly supervision and recommissioning on the customer's site.
Result: 100 % online monitoring of the foil quality regarding finest holes, independent of measuring system suppliers.
Recovery of a trouble-free and stable filtration process of a Achenbach SUPERSTACK® II Filtration System in a stainless steel rolling mill
