Constellation Cold Logistics Sweden AB has optimized its cold chain by renovating its refrigeration compressors instead of replacing them with new ones. Through this strategy, they have managed to reduce costs by 30 percent. Access to Kompressorteknik AB’s exchange system has ensured that the cold chain could be maintained unbroken even during unplanned operational disruptions. With a successful collaboration between Industrikyla AB and Kompressorteknik, Constellation Cold Logistics has solidified its position as a leading player in the industry.
In the field of cold and frozen storage, Constellation Cold Logistics, formerly Göteborgs fryshus, has established itself as a leading player, with a clear ambition to offer a comprehensive service that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. With impressive freezer storage totaling 9,000 square meters and space for 16,000 pallets, they have the capacity to handle large quantities of refrigerated and frozen goods. An operational failure in the business can have very significant impacts and become extremely costly. To efficiently manage and maintain their cooling systems, they have turned to Joacim Hammarstrand at Industrikyla. Joacim has been collaborating with Kompressorteknik in Norrköping for many years.
Joacim explains that Constellation Cold Logistics has been able to save significant amounts in operations and maintenance by utilizing Kompressorteknik’s exchange compressors. Instead of purchasing new compressors when the old ones reach their technical lifespan, they have installed an exchange compressor that stands ready for installation. The old compressor is then renovated and becomes ready for the next exchange. This strategy has not only been cost-effective, it has also reduced their environmental impact by eliminating the need for new compressors.
Besides the economics, one of the main advantages of exchange compressors is their availability and efficiency. By always having a renovated compressor on hand, one can quickly replace a compressor that needs maintenance. The rapid response has been crucial in meeting customer demands.
Joacim also emphasizes the high level of expertise and ease of working with Kompressorteknik as decisive factors. By having access to a reliable partner, Industrikyla has been able to maintain high quality and service.
