We are pleased to announce the completion of our first retrofit project in Bulgaria. For our client, we carried out a full installation of a new KEBA control system equipped with a modern multitouch operator panel on an Engel ES80/45HL injection molding machine (year 2002).
Project Execution
The complete installation, wiring, configuration, and commissioning of the machine were successfully completed within approximately 7 working days directly at the customer’s site.
Key Benefits of the Retrofit
-
Extends machine lifetime by 8–12 years, eliminating the need for a costly new machine investment.
-
Modernized and intuitive operation thanks to the KEBA multitouch panel – fast, user-friendly, with options for remote diagnostics and support.
-
Higher productivity and process stability through upgraded regulation loops and more precise control of movements and temperatures.
-
Removes the issue of obsolete electronics – new components ensure long-term availability of spare parts.
-
Reduced risk of failures and unplanned downtime, common with aging legacy systems.
-
Full support and service provided by an official KEBA Channel Partner for the EU.
Next Steps
This implementation marks our first successful project in Bulgaria. We plan to continue supporting the market with additional retrofits – not only for Engel machines, but also for brands such as Nissei, Ferromatik, Windsor, Haitian, Arburg, and many others.
