Equipment Upgrades & Retrofits
At Braner USA, we’re not just a machine builder—we’re an engineering company at our core. That’s why we specialize in retrofitting coil processing equipment, not only on Braner-built lines but also across a wide range of other OEM platforms.
If your line is aging, underperforming, or no longer meeting today’s safety and efficiency standards, our custom engineering services deliver real-world solutions. We help extend the life of your equipment, reduce downtime, and boost throughput—without requiring full system replacement.
Our sales engineers gather the necessary information, visit your facility, evaluate your setup, and work directly with our engineering team to develop a tailored coil processing equipment retrofit strategy based on your goals and production needs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Safety Guarding & Interlocks
Add interlocked fencing, programmable zones, and integrated safety logic that aligns with modern safety standards and protects operators. - Cut-To-Length Enhancements
Upgrade shears and stackers with automation-ready systems. Our shears automatically adjust blade gap and rake angle based on the material—ensuring clean cuts and repeatable results. - Stretch Leveler Integration
Already have a CTL line? Retrofit a Braner stretch leveler directly into your existing layout to improve flatness and material quality—without replacing the entire line. - Turret-Head Slitter Conversions
Replace outdated injector or lift-off slitters with turret-head technology for faster changeovers, higher uptime, and precision slitting. - Scalable Automation Add-Ons
From robotic debanding to automated threading and packaging coordination, we support phased automation—engineered to evolve with your operation. - Collaborative Engineering Approach
Our sales engineers assess your current line, gather operational data, and work with our in-house team to deliver custom engineering servicesthat solve your specific retrofit challenges.
