CLE also has vast experience in upgrading lines as well. We know what it takes to properly design for replacing items such as a packer or adding a packer for a dual back end capability. Designing the new tie-ins requires careful planning with all trades to minimize plant downtime. CLE can also help execute plans for new products on existing lines.
We can evaluate your current line capabilities and make recommendations line changes for new products or we can design in the required changeover items for multiple products to run on the same line. Please contact us for more information.
