Constellation Cold Logistics Sweden AB has streamlined its cold chain by refurbishing its refrigeration compressors instead of replacing them with new ones. Through this strategy, the company has succeeded in reducing costs by 30 percent. Access to Kompressorteknik AB’s exchange system has ensured that the cold chain has remained unbroken even during unplanned operational disruptions. Through 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 refrigerated and frozen storage, Constellation Cold Logistics—formerly Göteborgs Fryshus—has established itself as a leading player, with a clear commitment to offering a comprehensive service that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. With impressive cold storage facilities totaling 9,000 square meters and space for 16,000 pallets, they have the capacity to handle large volumes of refrigerated and frozen goods. An operational disruption can have a major impact and prove very costly. To effectively manage and maintain their refrigeration 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 on operations and maintenance by using Kompressorteknik’s replacement compressors. Instead of purchasing new compressors when the old ones reach the end of their technical service life, they have installed a replacement compressor that is ready for installation. The old compressor is then refurbished and made ready for the next replacement. This strategy has not only been cost-effective, but it has also reduced their environmental impact by eliminating the need for new compressors.
In addition to cost savings, one of the main advantages of replacement compressors is their availability and efficiency. By always having a refurbished compressor on hand, you can quickly replace a compressor that needs maintenance. This rapid response has been crucial to meeting customer requirements.
Joacim also highlights the high level of expertise and the ease of working with Kompressorteknik as key factors. By having access to a reliable partner, Industrikyla has been able to maintain high quality and service.
