PARADIGM SHIFTS force you to see the world in a different way.  At RETROFIT, we are leading a paradigm shift in thinking about thermal processing solutions.  We encourage you to review our offerings as an alternative to buying a new industrial oven for your manufacturing (non-food) application. 

WHY RETROFIT ?

Iterative Design Improves Performance and Safety

 

It is a myth that custom equipment is always designed correctly the first time.  In a retrofit project, we seek feedback from the customer during the evaluation and concepting stages of our process in order to address performance and safety concerns.

An Oven Retrofit is Less Expensive and has a Shorter Lead Time than Purchasing a New Oven

Why replace 100% of your industrial oven when only 20% needs to be repaired or redesigned?  In a retrofit project, we use components from your existing oven whenever feasible.  This allows you to save money by using less new material.  This dynamic is at the core of our value proposition.

An Oven Retrofit is Often the Best Solution When Your Product or Manufacturing Process Changes

 

The world is not static, and neither is your business or manufacturing process.  Winning new business that requires a change in your product or manufacturing process does not necessitate the purchase of new equipment.  Consider retrofitting your existing oven to save money and improve performance.

RETROFIT is a brand of Westran Thermal, a company based in South Beloit, Illinois, USA, focused on designing, engineering and manufacturing thermal processing solutions.  The founders of Westran Thermal retooled two established manufacturers of industrial ovens, namely Precision Quincy and Infratrol, and have been rebuilding and retrofitting industrial ovens from other manufacturers.  To date, more than 90 percent of ovens retrofitted by us have been for brands other than Precision Quincy and Infratrol. 

Key members of our team have a military background.  And military values permeate our culture and organizational structure.  We recruit employees who want to prove themselves and be among the best.  Training is a key to our success.  Because of our culture, people and training, WE WALK THROUGH WALLS for our customers.
