Green Point UK launches practical compressor training
G
reen Point UK, Bitzer UK’s compressor remanufacturing and specialist service
arm, has launched a new hands-on training initiative to help refrigeration contractors and service diagnosing and maintaining Bitzer compressors.
The sessions, run at Green
Point’s facility in Milton Keynes, are designed to allow engineers to get up close with screw and reciprocating compressors, see how they work and understand what can The training is practical and
tailored to the day-to-day challenges engineers face when maintaining systems for supermarkets, cold storage facilities, data centres and marine vessels, for example. “Our aim is to demystify the
compressor and give engineers the
on site, where possible,” said Will Pribyl, General Manager at Green Point UK. “In many cases, we’re issues, like replacing a degraded gasket, that could otherwise lead to full compressor replacements. Repair is better for the environment, better for budgets and ultimately helps reduce downtime.” Each session is structured around
a real-world fault or component, such as oil level controls or valve plates, and covers what damage
to look for, how to assess whether the compressor is salvageable and when to stop and call for a remanufactured replacement. Green Point’s remanufacturing team also explain and demonstrate the strip- down process to show what goes into reconditioning a unit to Bitzer ’s exacting standards.
The initiative has been piloted with a handful of customers so far, including a recent visit from Ernest West & Beynon. “The recent visit to Green Point
& Beynon’s ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional service to our Marine Service Network customers,” said Andrei Stefancu, Technical Director, Ernest West & Beynon. “By equipping our team with up-to-date skills in servicing Bitzer compressors, we uphold the highest standards of quality. This visit provided invaluable hands-on experience with the complete servicing of both screw and piston compressor technologies. We were particularly
impressed by Green Point’s extensive technical knowledge and rigorous procedures.” Pribyl added: “It’s about support, education and building the next generation of Bitzer engineers. We’re here to help our customers understand our compressors so they issues early and understand when to repair, when to replace and how sustainable approach.”
