AP&T’s factory-refurbished hydraulic presses offer manufacturers a sustainable and economical solution, with Walter Förster in Germany being one of the latest to benefit. The company recently expanded its production capacity by 25% with a refurbished AP&T LPS-2500 hydraulic press, originally built in the 2000s and renovated at AP&T’s facility in Tranemo, Sweden. With 250 tons of press force and four-cylinder functionality, the press enables advanced deep-drawing operations, enhancing both flexibility and efficiency.

Refurbishing older machines aligns with AP&T’s commitment to sustainability and circularity by extending the lifespan of existing equipment while significantly reducing environmental impact. Parts and systems are upgraded or replaced as needed, but the steel frame — the most resource-intensive component—remains intact, lowering the press’s carbon footprint compared to manufacturing a new one.

“At AP&T, we constantly strive to develop our customer offering in a sustainable direction. Part of that strategy is to take care of and renovate older machines and give them a new lease on life,” says Andreas Silfversparre, Manager of Rebuilds & Upgrades at AP&T.
