Machine Conversions & Upgrades

You don't always need a new machine. MMT can often convert or upgrade what you already have — at a fraction of the cost of a new or refurbished unit.

Film Cleaner Conversion Service

Convert your perchloroethylene film cleaner to HFE

Chlorinated solvents, including perchloroethylene, are being phased out across most countries, with outright bans already in place across much of Europe and North America. HFE (hydrofluoroether) is the proven, environmentally preferred alternative: a film-grade HFE has been thoroughly tested and is in active use by hundreds of film cleaner operators worldwide.

If you currently operate a Lipsner Smith perchloroethylene film cleaner, there are three paths to making the switch — at a cost that may be significantly lower than you expect.

Option 1

New Machine

The CF9400HFE is MMT's current production HFE ultrasonic film cleaner. Designed and manufactured to the latest specification, it is available as a new unit with full warranty and technical support.

Option 2

Certified Rebuilt Unit

Factory-certified rebuilt Lipsner Smith film cleaners are available on a periodic basis. Each unit is rebuilt to the original specification by experienced Lipsner Smith factory technicians and is fully warranted.

Option 3

Factory or On-Site Conversion

MMT can convert most newer Lipsner Smith perchloroethylene film cleaners to HFE — at the factory or on-site at your facility. Numerous internal components are replaced to accommodate HFE solvent.

Conversion cost is typically significantly lower than purchasing a new or rebuilt machine.

All conversion work is warranted and carried out using original Lipsner Smith intellectual property by experienced Lipsner Smith factory technicians — the same team behind every new and refurbished machine MMT supplies. Contact us with the details of your existing machine and we will prepare a detailed quotation.

TapeChek Conversion Service

TapeChek 4100 — Betacam to U-Matic format conversion

If you have a TapeChek 4100 that is surplus to requirements, MMT can now convert your machine from Betacam format to U-Matic at our factory. The TC4100 is designed for Betacam, Betacam SP, SX, and Digital Betacam formats — the same platform can be modified to clean and evaluate U-Matic cassettes instead.

The modifications are carried out at our factory, and the machine is returned to you ready for immediate use in U-Matic format.

The cost of this conversion can be considerably less than purchasing a new or used U-Matic machine.

Have a TapeChek 4100?

Send your surplus Betacam TC4100 to MMT's factory. Our technicians replace the relevant internal components and reconfigure the machine for U-Matic format. The converted unit is returned to you fully operational and warranted.

Don't have a TC4100?

If you do not have a TapeChek 4100 available for conversion, MMT can provide a proposal for a new or factory-refurbished U-Matic Cleaner/Evaluator. Contact us to discuss availability and pricing.
