Legacy machines & upgrade paths.

Thompson Duke has shipped machines continuously since 2015. Legacy units in the field receive support on a case-by-case basis, subject to parts availability. Two formal upgrade paths exist; everything else is handled by direct conversation with the team.

§ 01 · What We Support

Three categories of legacy machine.

If your machine fits one of these categories, contact us with serial number and model — we will route you to the right path.

01

ACF1 (pre-IZR)

The ACF1 was the predecessor to the IZR automatic filling machine. A retrofit kit exists to bring an ACF1 chassis to IZR-equivalent performance.

02

LFP · Low Force Press

The 4-ton LFP was the previous-generation pneumatic press. New press orders ship MFP; LFP owners continue to receive full service and parts support.

Service support · ongoing
03

Gen 1 & legacy variants

Early-generation IZR, SVH, and other machines from before 2020. Support is case-by-case depending on parts availability and configuration.

§ 02 · Formal Upgrade Path

ACF1 to IZR retrofit.

The only currently-published retrofit. ACF1 owners can bring their chassis to IZR-equivalent performance for 45% of the price of a new IZR machine.

§ 03 · Honest Framing

What no retrofit exists for.

We are direct about what is and is not possible. The following retrofits do not exist; do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

×

LFP to MFP retrofit

No retrofit kit converts an LFP into an MFP. The two presses are mechanically and pneumatically different. LFP owners continue to receive service support; new press purchases ship MFP.

×

TPM to MFP retrofit

TPM was a 35-ton hydraulic press from a different machine class entirely. It is not the MFP predecessor and no upgrade path exists or is implied.

×

Big JIM CE variant

Big JIM is a North America-only machine. No CE-certified variant exists. EU operators looking for joint infusion should contact us to discuss options.
