Equipment Relocation

Relocation of production and process lines is the relocation of an enterprise to another site. The need for such a process may arise for various reasons.

• First, cost optimization: if a company finds a better location with lower costs for rent, labor or raw materials, relocation may be justified.
• Secondly, business expansion: relocation may be required to expand the capacity of a business when it grows and requires more resources or space to increase production.
• Third, routing optimization: relocation may be justified to improve customer service if the new location reduces logistics time and costs or makes it easier to deliver finished products to customers.
• Fourth, access to new markets: relocating equipment in Kazakhstan may be necessary to enable a company to enter new markets or establish strategic partnerships that help expand its operations and improve its competitiveness.

Fifth, employee transfer may be driven by the offer of new working conditions, such as higher wages, improved labor conditions, and access to educational and medical services at the new location. This can contribute to improved productivity.

Moving production facilities with “100 TONN.KZ”

“100 TONN.KZ” handles equipment moving over various distances. We can relocate a single machine within one industrial site, across the territory of Kazakhstan, or abroad.

Moving shops and businesses consists of several stages:

• Relocation Planning. It is important to consider the deadlines for vacating the old site and launching production at the new one. Decisions must be made regarding the depth of dismantling and the method of equipment transport. If production cannot be stopped, the moving is organized in stages. A backlog is created, and machines or presses are moved one by one. When one is operational, the next is moved.
• Equipment Dismantling. Before taking a production unit apart, it is recommended to measure its output parameters. Dismantling is carried out carefully. We identify which assemblies and parts require repair or replacement. Vertical presses and machines are rotated to a horizontal position (upended/turned). It is vital to label and properly pack all elements while considering the assembly sequence. If transportation or storage of equipment will last several months, it is worth taking care of preservation. This will protect the equipment from corrosion.
• Transportation. The packed equipment must be safely loaded onto transport and then unloaded at the destination. If the workshop does not have a crane with a suitable lifting capacity, hydraulic gantry systems can be used. They solve rigging tasks on sites with narrow passages and low ceilings. The type of vehicle depends on the distance of the move. It is more cost-effective to transport bulky goods over long distances by water.
• Installation and launch at the new site. The speed of installation, assembly, strapping of equipment depends on building readiness, availability of necessary utilities. Installation usually includes alignment. During commissioning, equipment performance parameters must be checked; they should be no worse than the indicators at the old location.

FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1) What does a manufacturing relocation involve?

Planning the sequence of moving capacities, stage-by-stage disconnection, marking, preservation, preparation for transportation, loading and unloading, transportation, installation and start-up at the new site. We also monitor the parameters produced by the equipment before and after relocation.

2) Do you organize the relocation of the company to another region?

Yes, distance is not an issue for us. We will relocate your production facilities to any region of the Republic of Kazakhstan and around the world. By the way, we have representative offices in several countries in Central Asia, Russia and Europe. But the geography of projects is much wider. For example, we relocated plants from Mexico and Brazil, although we have not yet opened any branches there.

3) What are the stages involved in moving a facility?

Project development, recording equipment parameters, labeling, dismantling, troubleshooting/inspection, packaging, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking and installation of machines and lines at the point of arrival, alignment, commissioning, presentation of parameters to the customer.

4) How much does it cost to relocate production in Kazakhstan?

The cost of such a complex, multi-stage project can only be calculated individually. The cost of moving one machine for a short distance starts from 450,000 tenge per ton.

5) How do I order a production relocation service?

It is preferable to find the documentation provided by the equipment manufacturer at the time of delivery. But even if blueprints and manuals are lost, we will find a way out of the situation. Call us — we will discuss and resolve everything!
