Sigma Kneader Mixers Renovation & Spare Parts

Restore the performance of your equipment

Over the years, mechanical components, transmission systems, control devices, and peripheral equipment are subjected to significant stress, which can lead to a gradual decline in performance.

The RMC Marc Guittard teams conduct a comprehensive analysis of each installation to evaluate its overall condition and determine the most appropriate corrective actions.

Refurbishment work may include:

• mixing arms,
• mixing tanks,
• drive systems,
• gearboxes and motors,
• bearings,
• sealing systems,
• transmission components,
• electrical equipment and automation systems.

Each intervention aims to restore the system’s original performance while improving its reliability and availability.

Upgrading equipment to meet current requirements

Industrial processes are constantly evolving. Demands for productivity, safety, energy efficiency, and automation often make it necessary to upgrade existing equipment.

RMC Marc Guittard supports manufacturers in upgrading their facilities by integrating tailored technical solutions:

• replacement of transmission systems,
• upgrading of drive systems,
• upgrading automation and control systems,
• improving safety devices,
• integrating new heating or cooling systems,
• optimizing vacuum operations,
• adapting to new regulatory requirements.

This approach allows companies to benefit from the performance of current technologies while retaining existing equipment when technically feasible.

Original spare parts to ensure reliability

The rapid availability of spare parts is essential to ensuring uninterrupted production.

Thanks to full traceability of its equipment and the maintenance of technical records, RMC Marc Guittard is able to supply the parts needed for the maintenance and refurbishment of its facilities.

Our teams supply:

• mixing blades,
• tanks,
• shafts and arms,
• bearings,
• seals,
• motors,
• gearboxes,
• couplings,
• electrical components,
• custom-machined mechanical parts.

Each component is selected to ensure the reliability, compatibility, and performance of the equipment.

Technical traceability to support maintenance

Every piece of equipment manufactured by RMC Marc Guittard comes with a comprehensive technical history.

This traceability includes:

• 2D and 3D manufacturing drawings,
• component parts lists,
• technical data sheets,
• original specifications,
• maintenance work carried out,
• parts replaced,
• refurbishment and modernisation work.

This document management system enables us to respond quickly and offer perfectly tailored solutions, even several decades after the equipment was first commissioned.

Supporting equipment throughout its life cycle

Some of the installations maintained by RMC Marc Guittard are still in operation after more than 60 years of service.

Thanks to regular maintenance, the availability of spare parts and a policy of continuous modernisation, this equipment continues to meet current production requirements.

This ability to support manufacturers over the long term is one of RMC Marc Guittard’s historical strengths.

Refurbishment before replacement: a sustainable approach

In many cases, refurbishing equipment is a viable alternative to completely replacing a plant.

This approach enables:

• to reduce capital investment,
• to minimise production shutdowns,
• to retain existing infrastructure,
• to improve equipment performance,
• to incorporate the latest technological developments,
• to reduce the environmental impact associated with replacing plant.

Refurbishment is therefore fully in line with an approach focused on sustainable industrial performance and resource optimisation.

Personalised technical support

Every refurbishment project begins with an expertise carried out by RMC Marc Guittard’s technicians.

This analysis identifies the components that need replacing, potential improvements and technical upgrades likely to optimise the installation’s performance.

Our teams then support manufacturers through every stage of the project: audit, technical study, parts manufacture, on-site work, recommissioning and equipment monitoring.

Recognised expertise to support your investments

Maintaining industrial equipment means preserving expertise, ensuring production continuity and maximising the value of what is often a strategic investment.

Thanks to its experience in mixing high-viscosity products, its in-depth knowledge of its equipment and the maintenance of the technical history of each installation, RMC Marc Guittard supports manufacturers in the refurbishment, modernisation and maintenance of their mixers worldwide.

Every intervention is designed to sustainably extend the service life of the equipment, improve its performance and support developments in manufacturing processes.
