Bestandspresse

English translation: existing press

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Metallurgy
German term or phrase: Bestandspresse
From an interim report for an employee whose employer is 'one of the world’s leading powder-metallurgical industrial companies which covers the entire value chain of the materials molybdenum and tungsten – from ore to customer-specific components'.

Under a list of projects this employee has been involved in, there is:
'Retrofit der Bestandspresse, mechanisch'

That's pretty much all I can give you, I'm afraid. Thanks for any help.

Explanation:
My first instinct is that "bestand" part is not a technical term, but just referring to the fact that the press was already there and installed (hence it being retrofitted or upgraded), not that it is a particular piece of process machinery.
