Inside and outside: Dismantling and renewal of equipment creates opportunities

Category: retrofit | | Created by Redaktion

Jules Fricke, former Managing Director of Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH:

"Targeted partial refurbishment of obsolete components is an important step towards energy saving and cost reduction. Equipment remains the same in its existing scope and process, but works more efficiently and environmentally friendly.”

No day without residual waste. About 1,000 tons of waste arrive at the waste-fueled power station of the waste incineration plant Bonn GmbH on workdays. Annually this is a total of 315,000 tons of waste incinerated in the power plant. The boilers are running all-day, even at weekends and on public holidays. In the waste-fueled power station in Bonn ten to twelve tons of waste are incinerated per hour. To handle these quantities, high-performance transport systems of reliable and energy-efficient operation are needed. Corrosion and wear are a frequently occurring problem for the operators of waste-fueled power stations. To avoid capacity losses caused by malfunctions and downtimes, a targeted partial refurbishment is absolutely perfect.


Minor intervention, major effect. Loibl starts every retrofit project with a professional inspection and analysis of the actual condition of the components and equipment concerned. This is followed by in-depth consultations for the presentation of specific refurbishment measures. Experienced specialists enable us to offer qualified consulting services worldwide. Then Loibl starts the engineering and manufacture implemented at the Straubing/Bavaria location. Next step is the implementation on site. To ensure a technically perfect functioning, all components of the equipment are designed and made according to the latest safety standards. Loibl’s range of retrofit work is topped off by extensive tests prior to delivery, hot and cold commissioning, maintenance work and inspections as well as professional training.
