Bitzer offers compressor repair training
4th June 2025
UK: A new hands-on training initiative to help refrigeration contractors and service technicians gain confidence in diagnosing and maintaining Bitzer compressors.
The new training sessions, to be run by Green Point UK, Bitzer UK’s compressor remanufacturing arm in Milton Keynes, are designed to give engineers the opportunity to learn how screw and reciprocating compressors work and what can realistically be repaired in the field.
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 skills and confidence to make repairs on site, where possible,” said Green Point UK general manager Will Pribyl. “In many cases, we’re showing engineers how to fix minor issues, like replacing a degraded gasket, that could otherwise lead to full compressor replacements.”
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 will also explain and demonstrate the strip-down process to show what goes into reconditioning a unit to Bitzer’s standards.
