Retrofit

Retrofit, what if we gave your brazing line a new lease of life?

MT Brazing is not limited to the design of new equipment. We also offer retrofit solutions to upgrade your existing production equipment dedicated to brazing operations, our own machines as well as your current installations, regardless of the brand. Because performance, safety and compliance shouldn’t have to wait for your next investment cycle.

Is your brazing equipment becoming a barrier to your industrial performance?

In many industrial environments, brazing installations remain mechanically robust but present technical limitations.

A full production line replacement is not always the most relevant solution, which is why a retrofit represents a controlled and high-performing alternative.

Constraints linked to obsolescence:

- End-of-life PLCs and HMIs
- Difficulties sourcing spare parts
- Quality drift in assemblies
- Excessive energy consumption
- Equipment no longer compliant with current regulations
- Difficulty ensuring repeatability
- Ergonomics issues

Direct impacts on your production:

- Instability of the brazing process
- Increasing non-conformances
- Unplanned downtime
- Declining OEE
- Heightened QHSE risks
- Rising energy costs

What is a retrofit?

Retrofit involves integrating modules or improvements into an existing installation, without fully replacing the equipment.

In practice, this can mean adding for example HSE solutions such as fume extraction modules, workstation ergonomics improvements, or the integration of supervision and traceability options onto an existing machine.

The objective is simple: to help you overcome the obsolescence of your installations, raise your standards in a continuous improvement approach (productivity gains, quality improvements, etc.) and remain up to date with machinery regulations, all whilst keeping your investment under control.

Brazing retrofit: targeted modernisation of your installations

Our speciality: unique brazing expertise

We support you with an expert retrofit approach applied to brazing, to thoroughly modernise your existing installation and improve its performance, reliability and compliance.

We combine our retrofit know-how and brazing expertise to deliver solutions across all your brazing equipment:

  • Brazing stations
  • Brazing furnaces (vacuum, controlled atmosphere, continuous)
  • Automated brazing lines
  • Specific multi-process installations

We work on both soldering and brazing equipment and across all heating technologies.
Multi-sector, we support our industrial clients across all types of business sectors and applications.

Less investment, more performance:
what retrofit brings to your operations in practice

Upgrading does not mean compromising. A well-designed retrofit allows you to reach high standards, particularly in terms of quality, productivity and regulatory compliance, exactly where your line truly needs it, without the lead times or costs of a full replacement.

Here is what this means in practice for your operations:

Who is brazing machine retrofit aimed at?

This solution is for you if:

  • You already operate one or more brazing machines and wish to upgrade them without replacing them
  • Your line is facing tightened HSE requirements (regulations related to risks such as fume exposure, ergonomics and workstation safety in general)
  • You are looking to improve the repeatability and traceability of your brazing operations
  • You have a limited investment budget but performance targets to meet

In short, the MT Brazing retrofit is designed to address your real operational constraints.
