- Lower capital costs
- Ongoing regulatory compliance
- Improved safety
- Extending equipment life and reliability
- Improved performance
- Tailored-made solutions for site-specific goals
- Lower environmental impact
Our industry experts match the Dustex®, Geoenergy®, and Western Pneumatics technologies to the specific requirements of each application. We provide retrofits and upgrades for all of your industrial plant needs, including air pollution control, chemical and heat recovery, pneumatic conveyance, and more.

Full System Replacement
A full system replacement is a complete overhaul of equipment and systems from the ground up. A full system replacement can improve the overall operations of the facility, delivering improved technology and extending the life of the plant.
A full system replacement is one of many options when evaluating equipment and technology. This comprehensive solution can deliver superior results but can also require increased downtime and larger capital expenditures.
Full system replacements can help industrial plants improve overall performance while reducing long-term costs. A number of benefits are associated with full system replacements, including the following:
- Customized solutions to current and future needs
- Renewed equipment lifecycle
- Upgraded technologies
- Alignment with evolving regulatory requirements
- Improved equipment
- Lower operating costs
- Reduction in unexpected downtime
- Ongoing stable operations
- Installation downtime can be planned for minimal impact
ANDRITZ is proud to offer Dustex®, Geoenergy®, and Western Pneumatics technologies and expertise. It’s the technology and expertise you can trust when considering a full system replacement.
A full system replacement can provide improved performance and stable operations for years to come. Are you ready to replace your existing systems? Contact ANDRITZ today to learn more about our expanded technology and services.
Considerations
In industrial plants, machinery and technology drive performance. As these components age, industrial facilities must often decide between retrofitting existing systems or investing in a full system replacement. When making this decision, industrial plants must consider a number of important factors, including the following:
- System age
- System condition
- Energy efficiency
- Overall performance
- Regulatory and safety requirements
- Cost and capital expenditure
- Downtime tolerance
- Short and long-term priorities
- Future growth and expansion
The decision between retrofitting and a full system replacement cannot be limited to one factor. Oftentimes, it involves balancing cost and long-term operational goals. The best way to make an informed decision is to work with a partner you can trust. Whether you are considering retrofitting an existing system or a full system replacement, ANDRITZ has the technology and expertise you can trust.
Next Steps
An experienced team can walk you through the next steps when considering retrofits and a full system replacement. The first step is a comprehensive audit to evaluate the condition of systems and equipment. Next, a team of experienced engineers can evaluate the data to analyze options. This will often include both retrofits and a full system replacement. By having a clear assessment, facilities can move forward with confidence, ensuring that the decision meets performance goals and cost considerations.
