Take the Best and Make It Better – Retrofit Packages

We are embarking on a new product line this year that will help all of our customers. We decided to create ‘retrofit packages’ for our existing machines out in the field. New England Machinery’s continual improvement policy has born some really great new changes with updated technologies for our machines. We now want to offer customers who have older models the ability to upgrade to some of these new functionalities.

We have just announced the beginning of our retrofit packages and our customers are excited to learn that they can improve performance or functionality on their existing machines. The first package we released (an adjustable inner orienter spacer) will shorten the changeover time on our unscramblers. This retrofit is capable of being added to all existing unscramblers in the field. Our next package will allow the addition of a stack light on any NEM machine when that option was not initially chosen at the time of original sale. More retrofit packages are in the works and will be announced shortly.

We are happy to be able to take our improvements and make them available to customers who may not be able to purchase a new machine but want some of the newer technologies available on their older model. We have a hit on our hands and are excited about this new capability.
