We repair refrigeration compressors down to the smallest detail
As specialists in refrigeration compressor repair, we know how important quality and reliability are. That is why we work with great precision and ensure that every compressor has the right conditions to operate efficiently within its system.
When repairing your refrigeration compressor, we also recommend any additional measures that may improve service life, operational reliability and energy efficiency. We additionally carry out mechanical machining and reconditioning of compressor components when required.
Problems with your refrigeration compressor? We have the solution
A refrigeration compressor failure can have serious consequences for your operation. Production may need to stop, temperature-sensitive goods can be damaged and the financial impact can quickly become significant.
We make sure your refrigeration compressor has the right conditions for reliable operation and can respond at short notice when urgent issues arise.
Common problems we resolve:
- Compressors that fail to start
- Abnormal noise or vibrations
- Reduced cooling capacity
- Pressure issues within the system
- Overheating or leakage
We are often able to complete repairs within a short timeframe. In especially critical situations, we also offer exchange compressors that can quickly replace the damaged unit – in many cases with same-day or next-day delivery.
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.
Service your compressor before failure 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 help your 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.

As an authorised service partner for several leading compressor manufacturers, we provide high quality standards and operational security for our customers.
We are experts in STAL and official service partners for Bitzer, Danfoss BOCK and Dorin. We also have extensive expertise in Sabroe, York, Frick, Gram, Howden, Daikin, Mycom, Trane, FES, VMY/Aerzen and Carrier, among others.
Frequently asked questions about refrigeration compressor repair
A refrigeration compressor often requires repair when it no longer performs as intended or shows clear signs of malfunction. Common indications include compressors that fail to start, unusual noise or vibrations, reduced capacity or pressure-related issues within the system. Overheating and leakage may also indicate that repair is necessary.
By addressing problems at an early stage, you can reduce the risk of costly downtime and avoid more extensive damage.
Repair time depends on the extent of the fault and the availability of spare parts. In many cases, we can quickly identify the issue and begin corrective actions to minimise operational downtime.
For urgent situations, we work efficiently to restore operation as quickly as possible. Thanks to our extensive supplier network, we have excellent access to spare parts, which often helps shorten lead times.
The risk of sudden refrigeration compressor failure can often be reduced by paying attention to early warning signs and addressing issues before they develop further.
Unusual noise, vibrations, declining performance or temperature deviations may indicate that something is not operating correctly. By acting quickly and resolving smaller faults at an early stage, larger operational disruptions and costly damage can often be avoided.
If a more comprehensive technical review is required, a complete compressor overhaul may be a suitable solution.
We repair most types of refrigeration compressors used in industrial refrigeration systems. This includes both screw compressors and reciprocating compressors from a wide range of manufacturers.
We regularly work with brands such as Bitzer, Dorin, Frascold and Danfoss BOCK, while also supporting many other compressor brands on the market.
The cost of repairing a refrigeration compressor depends on the extent of the damage, the compressor type and whether spare parts need to be replaced.
Minor repairs can often be completed quickly, while more extensive damage may require additional work and component replacement. We always assess the compressor and provide a clear recommendation before any work begins.
