Our services

Project support from planning to commissioning

Technical work, logistics and project management are often interlinked. Our services can be used individually or combined to suit your project.

Dismantling & technical preparation

Machines and production lines are professionally dismantled and prepared for transport and reassembly. Even more extensive relocations can be managed through a series of project stages.

Transport & logistics worldwide

We organise the safe transport of machinery and equipment worldwide. In doing so, we tailor the logistics to the specific machine, location and project schedule.

Customs & international handling

For international machinery projects, we provide support with the necessary administrative procedures and associated documentation. This ensures that organisational requirements are incorporated into the project planning at an early stage.

Insurance

Insurance cover for machinery and transport can also form part of the project management process. The type of insurance required depends on the machine, the route of transport and the project.

Interim storage

Dismantling, transport and reassembly cannot always take place immediately one after the other. For such project phases, machines and systems can be stored temporarily if required. Kahl & Schlichterle has warehouses available at various locations across Europe for this purpose.

Modifications & custom builds

Existing machines can be adapted to meet changing technical requirements, formats or container types. Some of the required format and changeover parts, as well as other components, can be manufactured in-house.

Installation, technical integration & commissioning

Following transport or relocation, we carry out the assembly and technical integration at the new site. We then oversee the recommissioning of the machine or production line.

Training & support

Once the equipment is commissioned, we’ll support your staff in using the technology. We’ll also remain your contact person for technical queries and any further adjustments.

Maintenance & service beyond the sale

Our technicians and electronics engineers carry out maintenance, servicing, troubleshooting and repairs. Depending on the task, support is available either on-site or via remote diagnosis.

Retrofit & custom manufacturing

Made in-house

A new machine is not always the best solution. In our own workshop and production facility, we overhaul and modernise existing machines and adapt them to changing production requirements.

From mechanical modifications and the modernisation of control systems to the manufacture of bespoke components, as well as format and changeover parts, we have the technical capabilities to further develop tried-and-tested machines in a targeted manner. This allows existing equipment to continue to be used cost-effectively and to be prepared for new tasks.

Service for ongoing operations
We stay by your side. And by your machines.

Even after installation and commissioning, Kahl & Schlichterle remains your contact person for all technical matters. Our technicians and electronics engineers carry out inspections, maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs, and provide support with technical modifications and retrofits. Where possible, this work is carried out directly at your premises. Depending on the task, a remote diagnosis may suffice, or the equipment at our site in Burgwald may be used.

This service applies regardless of where the machine was purchased:

  • Inspection & Condition Assessment
  • Maintenance & Servicing
  • Troubleshooting & Repair
  • Retrofits & technical modifications
  • Spare parts supply
  • Format & changeover parts
