Replace a stopped or ageing machine

Which replacement can connect to the line you already run?

For a failed machine, recurring breakdowns or an ageing unit that is becoming difficult to maintain.

Confirm the problem

Record whether the immediate need is to restore output, reduce failures or replace an unsupported assembly. These lead to different candidate and service requirements.

Check the connections around the replacement

Existing upstream machine
Candidate and tooling
Existing downstream machine

Review transfer height, direction, product handling, utilities and control signals at both boundaries.

Prepare the evidence

Collect these records before narrowing the equipment or service scope.

Current machine identity, photos and known failure history.
Tile formats, required output, transfer height and direction.
Layout, mounting information, utilities and available shutdown window.

Compare approaches

Repair the existing unit

Assess the failed assembly, parts access and the work needed to restore service.

Check before choosing

Suitable only if the remaining machine condition and repair scope support the intended duty.

Replace with a used machine

Compare actual interfaces, included accessories and test evidence.

Check before choosing

Include adapters, missing parts, controls and changeover work in the comparison.

Replace a detachable module

Check whether the failed function can be separated from the rest of the line.

Check before choosing

Confirm mechanical and control boundaries before assuming the module is interchangeable.

Check the limits

A similar model name does not establish matching interfaces or condition.
Identify tests that cannot be completed while a candidate is disconnected.
Include commissioning work and a fallback plan in the shutdown decision.

Your decision file
