Our overhauling specialists for industrial refrigeration compressors

Our four members of the overhauling department are responsible for overhauling between 80 and 110 compressors each year. They are certified to overhaul both reciprocating and screw compressors of all major brands.
Every overhauling starts with an inspection of the compressor, then order the parts, overhaul the compressor, do fine adjustments and perform a pressure-test.
Every overhauled compressor we deliver we also give the customer a full overhauling report with pictures, final axial clearance measurements etc.
