Compared to a new installation there are several advantages:

 

* reduction in the investment: structures, intermediate casings, electrical installation, etc. can be (sometimes only partially) reused;

* reduction in transport costs: if some parts are reused, transportation costs can be reduced;

* reduction of down time of the plant: only some parts of the old plant have to be disassembled;

* reuse of existing parts: saving in design time, production, dismantling, reassembling

* reuse of space: modernizing an existing machine can increase the productivity per square metre without increasing the size of the plant;

* increase of low-maintenance intervals: most of the time, an upgrade means using new updated motors, bearings; and

* conformity to safety and environmental regulations: during the operations all the protection devices will be updated.
