Renovation is Energy Saving<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A refrigeration compressor we have renovated increases its efficiency. Replacing the refrigeration compressor or the entire system is wasteful not only for the environment but also for resources and money. It is simply a good business decision to renovate with us. We measure all important components and repair or replace all worn parts. Additionally, we suggest preventive measures or upgrades when necessary. Your renovated refrigeration compressor will be as good as new at a favorable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is included in a standard renovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you factory-renovate your refrigeration compressor with us, you get much more than a normal service. We measure all important components and repair or replace worn parts. Additionally, we suggest preventive measures or upgrades when needed. A renovated refrigeration compressor becomes as good as new at a favorable price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We receive the customer’s refrigeration compressor and perform an initial arrival inspection and inform the customer that we have received it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Inspection & Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sandblasting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To achieve the best final result, we do everything to give the refrigeration compressor visual new life. Through sandblasting, we remove everything before painting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

04<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Electric Motor Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A detailed report is sent together with the compressor report to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

05<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Disassembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Technical Report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Repair & Production of New Parts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New Parts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In our spare parts warehouse, we have renovation kits that contain parts needed for a renovation, such as bearings, gaskets and O-rings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Painting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Packaging & Shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We always place the refrigeration compressor on a new pallet and package it for weather protection and send it back to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Why You should Renovate your Refrigeration Compressor<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A breakdown or unjustified new manufacturing of refrigeration compressor or components leads to significant environmental impact and higher energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Economy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Follow your Refrigeration Compressor’s Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We attach to the report any measures beyond the basic renovation that are essential for your refrigeration compressor to become like new again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

We make your refrigeration compressor deliver better<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
