We carry out refrigeration compressor repairs down to the smallest detail.
As specialists in refrigeration compressor repair, we know how important quality is. That is why we are extremely meticulous and ensure that the compressor always has the right conditions to operate in its system. When we repair your refrigeration compressor, we recommend any additional measures with regard to service life and efficiency. We also perform mechanical machining of your refrigeration compressor’s various components.
Problems with the refrigeration compressor – we have the solution
A refrigeration compressor failure can have devastating consequences for your operations. All production may need to be paused, temperature-sensitive products may become unusable, and the financial losses can be significant. We ensure that your refrigeration compressor has the right conditions and can respond at short notice.
Common issues we address include:
- Compressors that do not start
- Abnormal noises or vibrations
- Reduced cooling capacity
- Pressure issues in the system
- Overheating or leakage
We can often complete repairs in a short time, but in particularly critical cases we offer replacement compressors that can quickly replace the damaged machine and can be delivered the same day or within a couple of days.
How a refrigeration compressor repair is carried out
When you choose our factory renovation for your refrigeration compressor, you get much more than standard service. We measure all critical components and repair or replace worn parts. We also often suggest preventive measures or upgrades when needed. Your refrigeration compressor will be as good as new at a competitive price.
01
Arrival
We receive the customer’s refrigeration compressor, perform an initial arrival inspection, and inform the customer of its receipt.
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 completely for thorough analysis and tolerance measurements, which forms the basis for assessing necessary actions. The technical analysis is compiled into a clear, detailed report sent to the customer along with a supplementary quote for parts that need adjustment, processing, or replacement.
06
Recond
During reconditioning, all traces of oils and greases are removed. Gasket residues are polished away. Now it’s possible to see all surfaces and measure all essential dimensions.
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
The parts that have normal or increased wear are processed to achieve a condition equivalent to an original part. Where there has been, for example, should a breakdown occur and parts need to be scrapped, we manufacture new parts that match the original design.
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, a basic function test and leak test 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.
We Create Spare Parts that Don’t Exist
In our comprehensive commitment to ensure functionality and quality equivalent to a new refrigeration compressor, parts often need to be manufactured and tolerance-processed.
We have our own production and toolmakers to manufacture original parts when needed. The toolmaker possesses high expertise and works with forming processes, cutting operations, turning, and milling as methods for producing new spare parts.
Ensure Renovation before Breakdown Occurs
Repair is necessary when a refrigeration compressor breaks down, but before it gets to that point, we recommend renovating your refrigeration compressor. By renovating your refrigeration compressor, you avoid a breakdown and reduce the environmental impact it causes.
Don’t risk experiencing a breakdown that can lead to production loss and increased costs. With a healthy refrigeration compressor, you also minimize energy consumption over time.
We renovate your refrigeration compressor and ensure it lives longer!
We make the refrigeration compressor
perform 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.

Frequently asked questions about refrigeration compressor repair
A refrigeration compressor often requires repair when it is not functioning correctly or shows clear signs of malfunction. Common indications include the compressor failing to start, emitting unusual noises or vibrations, losing capacity, or causing pressure issues within the system. Overheating or leakage can also be signs that a repair is necessary.
By addressing issues promptly, you can reduce the risk of downtime and avoid more extensive measures.
The time required to repair a refrigeration compressor depends on the extent of the fault and the availability of spare parts. In many cases, we can quickly identify the problem and begin corrective measures to minimise downtime.
For urgent needs, we work promptly to get your system up and running again as soon as possible. Through our extensive network of suppliers, we have good access to spare parts, which often shortens lead times.
The risk of sudden faults in a refrigeration compressor can be reduced by paying attention to early signs of problems and addressing them in time. Unusual noises, vibrations, reduced capacity, or temperature deviations may indicate that something is not working as it should.
By acting quickly on these signals and addressing minor faults at an early stage, it is often possible to avoid major downtime and more extensive damage.
If a more thorough inspection is needed, an overhaul may be an option.
We repair most types of refrigeration compressors used in industrial refrigeration systems. This includes both screw compressors and reciprocating compressors from several different manufacturers.
We work, among others, with brands such as Bitzer, Dorin, Frascold and Danfoss BOCK, but also assist with many other brands on the market.
The cost of repairing a refrigeration compressor varies depending on the extent of the fault, the type of compressor, and whether spare parts need to be replaced.
Minor measures can often be carried out quickly, while more extensive faults may require more work. We always assess the compressor and get back to you with a clear proposal before work begins.
