Cost effective solution: Overhaul of 2nd hand Laby® setting its clock back to zero hours

An additional production line was necessary and Arxada turned to Burckhardt Compression to find the best and most cost-effective solution. Technical and commercial discussions resulted in the offer of a skid-mounted, 2^nd hand Laby® compressor that Burckhardt Compression would overhaul to set its clock back to zero hours.

“We are very satisfied with our customized compressor skid and its retrofitted Laby® compressor. Burckhardt Compression has provided us with a cost-effective, reliable and high-quality solution. We can look back on a long-standing partnership, which we will continue to build on in the future.”
