Dismantling, Relocation and Assembly of the Production Line

Relocating industrial production lines is a complex and multi-faceted task that requires precision, expertise, and careful planning. At OKSEL, we specialize in the seamless dismantling, relocation, and reassembly of machinery, with extensive experience in industrial moves for sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and heavy manufacturing. In this case study, we will take you through the entire process of dismantling, relocating, and assembling a production line—highlighting each step, the challenges we faced, and the solutions we delivered to ensure a successful outcome.

1. Project Planning and Industrial 3D Scanning

Every successful production line relocation starts with careful planning. At OKSEL, our projects begin with a detailed assessment and industrial 3D scanning of the production line. This allows us to create a precise digital blueprint of the machinery, ensuring that every component will be reassembled correctly in the new location. The 3D scan provides an accurate visual reference, which greatly reduces the margin for error during reassembly and guarantees the line will be back in working order as swiftly as possible.

2. Dismantling the Production Line

The dismantling process involves the careful disassembly of each part of the production line. Our team of skilled technicians works systematically to label, document, and remove machinery components, while also disconnecting media connections such as electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and water systems. Given that production lines often feature delicate and complex equipment, our technicians ensure each item is properly cataloged and packaged to avoid any damage during transit.

To streamline dismantling, we utilize custom lifting and handling solutions, ensuring safe and efficient operations even with the heaviest of components. For more details about our disassembly services, visit Disassembly of Production Lines.

3. Loading and Export Packing

Once dismantled, the machinery is prepared for transport. This includes proper export packing to protect components from any form of transit damage, especially for international relocations. We use industrial-grade export packaging and phytosanitary boxes, ensuring compliance with customs regulations and safe transportation by air, sea, or road. Loading the machinery is performed using specialized forklifts and cranes, ensuring that even the heaviest and most fragile components are loaded safely.

Our experience shows that custom packing is crucial to avoid the risk of damage. For more information about our export packing services, visit Export Packing of Production Lines.

4. Transport and Customs Clearance

Relocating a production line involves logistical expertise. We provide both local and international relocation services, handling the transport of machinery from the original site to the new facility. This includes managing transportation permits, selecting the appropriate vehicles, and taking care of customs clearance for international relocations. Customs procedures can be challenging, but our experts ensure that all documentation is in place, reducing delays and risks. OKSEL takes pride in managing complex logistics smoothly.

5. Unloading and In-Plant Transport

Once we reach the destination, the machinery is carefully unloaded and transported within the new facility. In-plant transport can be just as challenging as cross-country transport, especially when considering narrow passages or tight spaces. Our team utilizes roller systems, forklifts, and mobile cranes to ensure safe in-plant movement.

We prepare the new site meticulously to facilitate the unloading process, ensuring that the layout matches our original project plan and avoiding any unexpected bottlenecks.

6. Assembly of the Production Line

After all the components are safely delivered to the new facility, the reassembly process begins. The industrial 3D scanning data is used to guide the reassembly precisely. Each section of the production line is reconnected—including electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and water systems—to restore the line's full operational capabilities.

OKSEL’s expertise ensures that the production line is rebuilt to match the exact specifications from its previous installation, minimizing any downtime. For more details, explore our Assembly of Production Lines services.

7. Media Installation and Commissioning

One of the most critical steps in the relocation process is the proper installation and connection of media—electricity, water, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Our industrial installation services include reconnecting these utilities with attention to detail. Once these connections are established, the entire line undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that everything functions seamlessly.

We also assist with programming and fine-tuning production robots, ensuring that the production line resumes operation without any hiccups. Check out our Industrial Installation Services.

8. Start-Up and Commissioning

Once the machinery is assembled and connected, the next step is to perform start-up procedures. We work closely with our clients to commission the production line, checking each system, setting up calibration, and performing test runs to ensure that everything works according to the original specifications. This step is crucial for verifying that the relocation was successful and that the production line operates efficiently.

Our goal is to provide a smooth transition, minimizing downtime and getting your production line running as quickly as possible.

9. Disposal and Scrapping of Machines

ometimes, relocation involves deciding what to do with machinery that is no longer needed. OKSEL offers comprehensive disposal and scrapping services, managing the safe and environmentally friendly removal of outdated or non-functional machinery. We take care of all logistics involved in the disposal, including transportation and recycling arrangements.
