HOT RUNNER REFURBISHMENT

Extend Lifetime

Avoid Unproductive Downtimes

More performance. Less downtime. Longer lifespan: Our professional refurbishment service restores your maenner hot runner systems to peak condition – fast, reliable, and using original components. Improve product quality, extend system life, and reduce long-term operating costs.

Your success is our no. 1 priority.

Our service engineers provide hands-on support from tool development to the end of the tool's life. This includes installation support, responsive troubleshooting and planned refurbishment to maximize the uptime of your tools.

Of course, in case of an incident we are here when you need us. But you can influence the service life of your mold and hot runner yourself through planned maintenance and above all, avoid unproductive downtime!

Planned hot runner refurbishment can reduce downtime by up to 70%.

With planned refurbishment, you decide when your hot runner system is serviced – proactively, not in an emergency. Upon order, we produce spare parts, procure components, and stock everything in advance. We also reserve production capacity for you, enabling a fast turnaround once your system arrives – so you get your hot runner back quickly and with minimal downtime.

Simplify your routine maintenance:

Hot Runner Cleaning

You don't need a full refurbishment, but want your hot runner or hot half professionally cleaned? No problem!

We offer efficient and gentle cleaning using fluidized bed and ultrasonic bath technologies.

Professional cleaning helps extend the service life of your hot runner system and ensures consistent part quality.
Hot Runner Service Kits

Our service kits are designed to make the dismantling and reassembly of pneumatic components, nozzles, nozzle tips, and wiring faster, safer, and more efficient. All required tools and components are stored in one place – clearly organized and immediately accessible. This simplifies handling, helps reduce setup times and also ensures process reliability during maintenance or system rebuilds.

Facilitates the regular maintenance of your hot runner and hot half.
Hot Runner Spare Parts Agreement

By securing fast access to critical components, you avoid delays caused by long lead times or supply chain disruptions. Spare parts are produced or reserved in advance and stored specifically for your systems. This means the parts are ready when you need them – for planned maintenance or in the event of a failure. At the same time, predictable maintenance costs and reduced machine downtime help improve operational efficiency and production reliability.
