Upgrading packaging machines by
replacing controls
Many end users in the food processing and packaging industry have turned to Machinery Control Systems when packaging machine controls reach the end of their natural life
There are many packaging machines built in the late eighties or early nineties where the electronics are coming to the end of their natural life This means frequent failures and unscheduled stoppages
The advance of electronics over this period has meant that many of the components are no longer manufactured so the original controllers can no longer be made and with few spares around the machines are becoming inoperable.
The mechanics of these machines are still in good working order and still have several years of working life left.
Many end users in the food processing and packaging industry have turned to Machinery Control Systems for a solution.
MCS have specialised in upgrading these machines by replacing the electronics and rewriting the software.
The cost of this work is recouped within a few months with the bonus of many years of efficient and reliable production ahead of them.
