Overhaul of Refrigeration Compressors
We renovate refrigeration compressors for industrial cooling systems with a focus on longevity, efficiency, and operational reliability. Through meticulous analysis, measurement, and corrective actions on worn components, we restore the compressor’s function and performance.
During renovation, we measure all critical components and address worn parts through repair or replacement. We also identify the need for preventive measures and upgrades to optimize operation over time.
The result is a refrigeration compressor that performs at a level comparable to a new unit, at a significantly lower cost.
This is included in a
standard renovation
When you renovate your refrigeration compressor with us, you receive an inspection that goes significantly deeper than a standard service. We measure all critical components and address worn parts through repair or replacement.
In addition to this, we identify the need for preventive measures and upgrades that can improve both operation and service life.
The result is a refrigeration compressor with restored function and performance, often at a level comparable to a new unit.
01
Arrival
We receive the customer’s refrigeration compressor and perform an initial arrival inspection and inform the customer that we have received it.
02
Inspection & Documentation
We document and perform an initial status check. We also determine the color code so that the color is truly correct when it returns to the customer.
03
Sandblasting
To achieve the best final result, we do everything to give the refrigeration compressor visual new life. Through sandblasting, we remove everything before painting.
04
Electric Motor Control
If the refrigeration compressor contains an electric motor, we perform an advanced measurement of the motor’s components where we identify any faults to ensure safe operation in the upcoming operating cycle.
A detailed report is sent together with the compressor report to the customer.
05
Disassembly
We disassemble the refrigeration compressor into all parts for thorough analysis and measurement of tolerances, which forms the basis for assessment of necessary measures. The technical analysis is compiled into a clear, detailed report that is sent to the customer together with an additional quote for the parts that need to be adjusted, machined or replaced.
06
Recond
We consider it our responsibility to renovate your refrigeration compressor in a clean environment, therefore each component undergoes thorough washing. We use environmentally friendly fluids that remove oils and greases.
07
Technical Report
We create detailed technical reports when we renovate your compressor. In the report, you receive information about which parts need to be repaired or replaced, how extensive the damage is and exactly what damage exists on each part.
08
Repair & Production of New Parts
Parts that have normal or increased wear are machined to achieve a condition like an original part. Where there has been, for example, a breakdown and parts must be scrapped, we manufacture new parts that have original specifications.
09
New Parts
In our spare parts warehouse, we have renovation kits that contain parts needed for a renovation, such as bearings, gaskets and O-rings.
10
Assembly
Now the refrigeration compressor begins to look as it should as we have started assembly. Here we put together all parts, which are either machined or new from the manufacturer, with high precision and cleanliness.
11
Painting
Each refrigeration compressor regains its original color or desired color. We mount all signs and also mark the refrigeration compressor that it has been with us with which year and month, so you know when you visit the facility in a few years when it was last with us.
12
Final Test
After final assembly, functional testing and leakage testing are performed.
13
Packaging & Shipping
We always place the refrigeration compressor on a new pallet and package it for weather protection and send it back to the customer.
Why You should Renovate your Refrigeration Compressor
Environment
A breakdown or unjustified new manufacturing of refrigeration compressor or components leads to significant environmental impact and higher energy consumption.
Technology
A refrigeration compressor is designed to handle a certain operating time. For a screw compressor, renovation is recommended after 40,000 hours. This corresponds to 6-10 years of use depending on operating conditions.
Economy
The customer minimizes energy consumption over time with a healthy refrigeration compressor. Just a few percent in reduced efficiency costs more than the renovation of a refrigeration compressor. Renovation according to plan minimizes the risk of expensive repairs and longer downtime.
Risk
Taking risks and experiencing a breakdown can be an enormously expensive experience. Production loss during a short time can correspond to several years of operating costs.
Authorized Partner for Refrigeration Compressor Renovation
As an authorized partner to several leading manufacturers, we work with refrigeration compressor renovation according to high standards of quality and safety.

This means that you as a customer can feel confident that the work is performed according to the manufacturers’ guidelines and with the right technical expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions About Refrigeration Compressor Renovation
A refrigeration compressor should be renovated when wear begins to affect performance, for example with reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, or after an extended period of operation. For many screw compressors, a guideline is around 40,000 operating hours, but the need varies depending on operating conditions.
By renovating at the right time, you can avoid acute downtime and extend the lifespan of the equipment.
Repair means addressing a specific fault when something has broken or stopped working. Renovation is a more comprehensive review where multiple components are inspected, addressed, or replaced to restore the compressor’s performance.
While repair often occurs acutely, renovation is a planned measure to ensure long-term operation.
The time required for a renovation depends on the compressor’s size, condition, and the scope of the work. After an initial analysis, we can provide a clearer estimate of the time required.
The goal is always to carry out the renovation efficiently and with high quality to minimize the impact on your operations.
Renovating a refrigeration compressor is often a cost-effective alternative to investing in new equipment. At the same time, it reduces resource consumption and environmental impact.
A renovated compressor can achieve performance close to that of a new one, while you retain the existing installation and avoid major interventions in the facility.
A renovation includes a thorough review of the compressor where components are measured, inspected, and repaired or replaced as needed.
The work also includes analysis, documentation, and final testing to ensure that the compressor operates according to expected performance after the renovation.
Follow your Refrigeration Compressor’s Journey
We have a quality-assured process that starts upon receipt of your refrigeration compressor and ends when it leaves our workshop. Throughout the entire process, all work is documented digitally in both text and images.
During the renovation journey, a technical report is sent. The report shows the condition of the refrigeration compressor’s parts and what measures are required. The report is easy to interpret and the refrigeration compressor’s status is clearly shown by traffic light colors and complementary explanatory text.
We attach to the report any measures beyond the basic renovation that are essential for your refrigeration compressor to become like new again.
We make your refrigeration compressor
deliver better
By using original parts or self-produced components with exactly the right tolerances, we ensure long-term and energy-efficient operation. A regular service is not always sufficient – we go deeper and see what improvements truly optimize performance.
