Burckhardt Compression Provides Quick Solution for Damaged Compressor Cylinder

The local team from Burckhardt Compression reverse-engineered and rebuilt the cylinder with higher-quality materials and a built-in liner that can be easily replaced to ensure simple maintenance procedures. These design improvements aim to reduce costs and make the compressor more efficient in the long run.

In addition, the repair team identified existing valves and other components that could be reused. This meant that the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposing of old parts would be reduced, minimizing the amount of time and resources required to replace components. 
Burckhardt Compression managed the repairs from start to finish and provided on-site assembly support from its local Field Service representative. This ensured that the cylinder met the highest safety standards, downtime was reduced, quality control was improved, and the customer’s support was enhanced.

The partnership between Burckhardt Compression and the customer was crucial for successful completion, ensuring that all expectations, including budgetary restraints, deadline, safety, operational availability, and equipment quality were met. 

The project was completed within only eight weeks, after which a spokesperson for the customer commented, “We’re very pleased with the re-engineered compressor cylinder provided by Burckhardt Compression. Its team delivered a solution that met our tight time frame and specific requirements. The project’s success was a result of our partnership with Burckhardt Compression, its commitment to safety, quality, and its ability to deliver exceptional results.”
