Refurbishment is part of RMC Marc Guittard’s DNA. Since its founding in 1994, the company has specialized in the repair, renovation, and modification of Sigma Kneader Mixers, Extruder Mixers, and Industrial Mixers intended primarily for industries handling high- and very-high-viscosity products.
This long-standing activity has enabled the company to develop in-depth knowledge of mixing equipment, its design, operation, and evolution over the decades. Long before designing and manufacturing its own machines, RMC Marc Guittard was already working on equipment in service to restore its performance, improve its reliability, and meet the new requirements of manufacturers.
Even today, reconditioning remains a core area of expertise for the company. It allows us to offer a high-performance, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to the routine replacement of equipment, while ensuring a level of performance that meets users’ expectations.
Reconditioning an industrial mixer involves more than just replacing a few wear parts.
It is a comprehensive process that requires an understanding of the manufacturing process, an analysis of the machine’s performance during production, and identification of the causes of its wear and tear.
For more than three decades, the RMC Marc Guittard teams have been working on equipment used in particularly demanding industrial sectors:
This field experience now forms one of the foundations of RMC Marc Guittard’s expertise.
Every project begins with a comprehensive inspection of the installation.
Specialized technicians conduct a diagnostic evaluation to precisely assess the machine’s overall condition as well as the performance of the mixing process.
This analysis focuses on:
This evaluation phase allows us to determine the reconditioning procedures best suited to the customer’s production objectives.
After complete disassembly, each component is inspected according to rigorous procedures.
Depending on its condition, it may be:
The subassemblies are then reassembled, adjusted, and inspected prior to functional testing conducted in our workshops.
This methodology ensures a high level of quality, reliability, and safety before the equipment is returned to service.
Refurbishment also provides an opportunity to upgrade equipment.
Depending on your needs, the RMC Marc Guittard teams can integrate:
This approach enables the equipment’s service life to be extended sustainably while meeting new industrial requirements.
One of RMC Marc Guittard’s historic strengths lies in its maintenance of technical data for its equipment.
Every service call is documented to ensure complete traceability:
This documentation database facilitates future maintenance, renovation, or modernization operations, even for equipment that has been in service for several decades.
Refurbishment fully addresses today’s challenges of industrial performance and sustainable development.
By extending the service life of existing equipment, it makes it possible to:
This approach aligns with the principles of the circular economy by giving a second life to equipment designed to last.
The hundreds of machines that have been expertly assessed, disassembled, refurbished, and modernized since the company’s founding constitute a unique technical legacy.
This in-depth knowledge of mixing technologies, mechanical constraints, and industrial processes directly contributes to the work of the engineering department.
Each reconditioning project provides valuable experience for our teams and helps develop new solutions that are increasingly efficient, reliable, and suited to the needs of manufacturers.
Some of the installations monitored by RMC Marc Guittard are still in operation after several decades of service.
This longevity is a testament not only to the quality of the equipment but also to our teams’ ability to provide technical support, maintenance, modernization, and refurbishment throughout the equipment’s lifecycle.
Because each facility represents a strategic investment, RMC Marc Guittard partners with its customers in a spirit of long-term collaboration, offering customized solutions to maintain the performance of their equipment year after year.
Refurbishment is much more than a technical service. It is a craft that requires a thorough understanding of industrial processes, high-level mechanical expertise, and in-depth knowledge of mixing equipment.
As part of the company’s long-standing legacy of expertise, this skill continues to make a difference today. It enables RMC Marc Guittard to help manufacturers preserve their equipment, optimize its performance, and ensure the lasting value of their investments, both in France and internationally.
