Retrofitting

Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic.
We will completely rebuild your machines.

At RSM Technology, we specialize in the complete retrofitting of hydraulic and mechanical presses, with a particular focus on Dorst-branded equipment. Our team carries out comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic upgrades that restore older machines to like-new condition—extending their service life, boosting performance, and ensuring they meet today’s production and safety standards.

Rather than investing in costly new machinery, many of our clients choose retrofitting as a smarter, more sustainable solution. With over two decades of expertise in press renovation, we know how to turn outdated systems into reliable, high-performance assets. Whether your equipment is suffering from mechanical wear, electrical obsolescence, or hydraulic inefficiencies, we can rebuild it to deliver the precision and consistency your process demands.

Each retrofitting project begins with a detailed technical assessment of the machine’s condition and performance. From there, we completely disassemble the equipment, clean and inspect every component, and replace or recondition mechanical parts as needed—such as bearings, rams, and frames. Electrical systems are fully modernized with new wiring, control panels, and PLC interfaces to improve usability and diagnostics. Hydraulic systems are rebuilt using new pumps, valves, seals, and hoses to ensure smooth, leak-free operation under pressure.

We also offer optional upgrades and modifications tailored to your production needs. These can include stroke adjustments, tooling improvements, safety enhancements, or integration with automation systems. All retrofitted machines are rebuilt in compliance with CE regulations and applicable ISO standards, giving you peace of mind that your investment meets current legal and technical requirements.

Our specialization in powder compaction presses means we understand the demands of industries like powder metallurgy, ceramics, automotive components, and precision tooling. We have successfully refurbished dozens of press models, including popular units such as the Dorst TPA-5, TPA-20, DK-160, and DK-250. Whether you need a compact solution or a heavy-duty system, we have the tools, knowledge, and infrastructure to deliver.

Retrofitting with RSM Technology is more than a repair—it’s a full transformation that unlocks the full potential of your existing equipment. If you’re ready to increase uptime, improve performance, and reduce operational costs, contact us today. We’ll be happy to evaluate your press and provide a custom retrofitting proposal.
