Recurring breakdowns
Repeated failures can justify a broader assessment of connected systems.
Industrial Service
Machine Reconditioning
A structured assessment, repair and rebuilding process for industrial machinery where reconditioning is practical and technically feasible.
Service Overview
Assess the machine before deciding its future
Reconditioning can be considered when an industrial machine has useful underlying structure but worn, damaged or unreliable systems. The process starts with inspection rather than an assumption that every machine should be rebuilt.
Where feasible, Werk Maak Sterk can strip, assess, repair, clean, reassemble, adjust and test the equipment. The achievable result depends on condition, parts and the approved scope.
Discuss Your Requirements
Typical Problems
When reconditioning may be appropriate
Worn components
Mechanical wear may affect accuracy, movement and dependable operation.
Hydraulic deterioration
Leaks and weak performance may require component-level attention.
Long service history
Older machinery can benefit from a structured condition assessment.
Difficult replacement decision
Reconditioning may be compared with replacement once feasibility is known.
Planned production change
A scheduled shutdown can create an opportunity for deeper machine work.
What Is Included
A practical, methodical service
Condition assessment
The equipment and required outcome are reviewed before a scope is proposed.
Controlled stripping
Relevant systems and components are dismantled for inspection.
Wear inspection
Mechanical and hydraulic parts are assessed for repair or replacement needs.
Approved repairs
Suitable repair, component and hydraulic work is completed as agreed.
Cleaning and reassembly
The machine is prepared, rebuilt and adjusted within the approved scope.
Testing and handover
Relevant functions are tested and final observations are communicated.
Suitable Equipment
Components and systems assessed
The exact scope always depends on the machine, safe access, component condition and the reported requirement.
- Machine frames and structures
- Mechanical drive components
- Bearings, shafts and moving parts
- Hydraulic cylinders and pumps
- Guides, adjustment points and linkages
- Controls and connections for visible condition only
Our Process
From initial details to handover
Discuss the objective
Explain the machine condition, problems and expected operational need.
Assess feasibility
The equipment is inspected to define whether reconditioning is practical.
Prepare a scope
Required stripping, repair and component work is proposed.
Complete approved work
The agreed machine and hydraulic work is carried out.
Reassemble and adjust
Components are refitted and relevant settings are established.
Test and hand over
Operation is checked within the scope and observations are provided.
Practical Benefits
Repair versus replacement
Consider the real condition
Inspection shows whether the machine’s structure and systems justify further work.
Define achievable work
A scoped rebuild sets realistic expectations based on parts and feasibility.
Extend useful service
Suitable machinery may gain further productive life after approved reconditioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Machine Reconditioning
These answers provide general guidance. The correct scope is confirmed after the machine or component requirement has been assessed.
It can include assessment, stripping, wear inspection, suitable repairs, cleaning, reassembly, adjustment and testing within an approved scope.
Not necessarily. The outcome depends on age, condition, parts and the agreed work. Reconditioning aims to improve serviceability, not make unsupported new-machine claims.
The machine is assessed for structural condition, wear, component availability, repair feasibility and the required operational outcome.
Yes, hydraulic components can be included where required and where inspection confirms that repair or reconditioning is suitable.
The proposed scope identifies parts that are suitable for repair and those that may require replacement, subject to availability and approval.
Relevant functions are tested where safe and practical after reassembly, with limitations or further needs communicated.
