Overhauling forming machine
The GEA forming machine, model VM 600HS Koppens, has undergone a thorough overhaul. The restoration process began with completely rebuilding the machine from the frame. All parts were carefully disassembled, inspected, and refurbished. Where necessary, parts were replaced with new ones.
The electrical system received a complete rewiring, and all electrical components are brand new. The pneumatic system has also been entirely renewed. In the hydraulic system, the base block was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and repainted. All hydraulic valves, couplings, and hoses were replaced, while the hydraulic pump underwent a full overhaul and pressure test on a test bench. The hydraulic motors for the screws have been replaced with new ones, and the hydraulic cylinders for the pressing block and mold plate are new.
After a thorough cleaning, the machine's frame received a surface treatment, making it look like new again. With this extensive overhaul, Barsso aims to deliver its machines sustainably, reliably, and affordably.
