Haver & Boecker, a manufacturer of packing, palletising and bagging equipment based in Oelde, Germany, has expanded its support services to include equipment rebuilds and upgrades designed to extend the service life of existing systems and improve overall operational efficiency.

The company’s rebuild and upgrade services are intended for customers operating legacy equipment that may still function reliably but lack the features found in more recent models. These services offer an alternative to full equipment replacement and can help adapt existing systems to updated safety, energy efficiency, and operational standards.

A core component of this offering is the Performance+ Kit series, which includes modular upgrade options. One such kit, the Roto-Lock Performance+ Kit, replaces legacy dosing components with a more enclosed and sealed system. This reduces dust emissions and product loss and is compatible with equipment models including the Roto-Packer, Integra, Elementra, and Adams packing machines. Haver & Boecker currently offers over 120 kits in areas such as sealing, drive systems, and digital control technology.

In addition to modular upgrades, the company provides Performance+ Rebuilds, which are more extensive and address aging equipment where spare parts availability and increasing maintenance demands become concerns. These rebuilds can improve processing speed, reduce material waste, and reduce the wear on associated equipment. For example, one rebuild project involved a 36-year-old Roto-Packer system. The upgrade included improvements to filling and dosing technology, resulting in improved product handling, better air control, and increased line performance.

All rebuild and upgrade services fall within Haver & Boecker’s PROcheck lifecycle framework. This process typically begins with a Plant Optimization Plan — an on-site evaluation of current equipment and operations. Following this assessment, customers receive a report outlining recommended upgrades or retrofits, which may include hardware replacement or modifications to improve maintenance accessibility.

These services are aimed at manufacturers seeking to maintain production reliability while incorporating incremental technological improvements. The rebuilds and upgrades are designed to support continued use of existing equipment while aligning with changing production and regulatory needs.

Customers benefit from updated technological innovations – such as Performance+ Kits and other options which modernize their process and prolong equipment lifespan – without the larger investment of replacing a machine or equipment line
