Compatibility Overview
Specific upgrades for legacy machines

Rieter offers a comprehensive after sales service portfolio: From the replacement or repair of single parts, to the overhaul
of a single machine up to a complete spinning mill optimization. Before a major upgrade, Rieter recommends an inspec-
tion of the machine by a Rieter service technician. Not only to ensure the compatibility of the upgrade and its correct
installation, but also to determine which condition the machine is in and which parts should be replaced at the same time.
The full benefit of an upgrade is obtained only if the machine is also in good technical condition.
