Existing Plants & Obsolete Components

Your plant keeps running – even when the manufacturer no longer supplies

Manufacturer-independent service for existing plants and obsolete components: technical replacement solutions, re-manufacturing, overhaul and retrofit.

Many plants have been running reliably for decades – until a spare part is missing, the original manufacturer no longer exists or documents have been lost. This is exactly where we come in. And explicitly also for plants that were not built by L+K.

Our services

Four ways to keep your plant running.

01

Technical replacement solution

We are not a spare parts dealer. We start with a technical survey: what does the component have to do in your plant – and can it still be sourced at all? If not, we design a technically equivalent product and supply it to fit your plant – for pumps, valves, filters, heat exchangers, instrumentation and actuators.

02

Re-manufacturing

If a part is no longer available, we re-manufacture it. Based on measurements or a 3D scan, a new manufacturing drawing is created, according to which the part or assembly is produced within our own manufacturing group.

03

Overhaul and refurbishment

We plan overhauls in clearly separated phases – dismantling on site, inspection and workshop overhaul, reassembly and commissioning. Historical certificates are assigned and missing records supplemented wherever possible.

04

Retrofit and modernisation

Obsolete components, outdated instrumentation or increased requirements? We modernise selectively – with new components that fit into the existing plant, without you having to replace the entire system.

Technical replacement solution instead of parts trading

First understand what the component has to do.

Before we supply anything, we determine the function of the component: medium, pressure, temperature, flow rate, material, installation dimensions and interfaces. Then we check availability. If the original product is no longer available or cannot be obtained economically, we design a technically equivalent product – with proof that it fits your plant.

  1. Technical survey – function, operating data, installation situation
  2. Check availability – availability, lead time, obsolescence
  3. Equivalent solution – design, comparison, supply and installation

Symbolic images, AI-generated – neutral representation of the component groups, no customer plants and no products of specific manufacturers.

From our projects

Plants we support and expand in operation.

Your benefits
  • Longer service life of your investment
  • Shorter downtimes thanks to plannable overhauls
  • Manufacturer-independent, technically justified solutions
  • Updated documentation for operation and authorities

No reliable drawings available?

Digital capture of the existing plant creates the basis for re-manufacturing, new design and plannable installation.
