Industrial compressed air systems power manufacturing throughout Kenya, with compressors serving as modern facilities’ lungs. These substantial machines eventually require replacement due to wear, energy inefficiency, or capacity changes. Bestcare Facilities Management provides specialized compressor recycling addressing unique challenges while maximizing value recovery.
Compressor types vary significantly influencing disposal approaches. Rotary screw compressors dominate modern installations for their efficiency and reliability. Reciprocating compressors remain common in smaller applications. Centrifugal compressors serve large industrial facilities. Each type presents unique removal and recycling challenges.
Value recovery potential depends on compressor age, condition, and type. Well-maintained units from reputable manufacturers maintain strong secondary market demand. Even non-functional compressors contain valuable components including motors, cooling systems, and control panels finding buyers in parts markets.
Oil-injected rotary screw compressors contain significant lubricant volumes requiring proper disposal. These specialized oils cannot enter general waste streams. Our processes ensure proper handling through licensed facilities preventing environmental contamination while recovering oil for recycling where possible.
Electrical systems require careful attention. Compressors typically consume substantial electrical power requiring certified electricians for safe disconnection. Motor starters, control panels, and VFD drives contain valuable electronics suitable for reuse or specialized recycling.
Compressed air treatment equipment accompanies most compressor installations. Refrigerated dryers, desiccant dryers, filters, and receivers require separate disposal consideration. Refrigerated dryers contain refrigerants requiring certified recovery before disposal.
Environmental compliance extends throughout the disposal process. Beyond oils and refrigerants, compressors contain electronic components falling under e-waste regulations. Metal components including compressor blocks, coolers, and structural supports suit recycling.
Transportation logistics vary with compressor size. Small units might weigh a few hundred kilograms while large industrial systems exceed several tons. Skid-mounted units simplify transport while permanently installed systems require dismounting from foundations.
Foundation and piping removal often accompanies compressor disposal. Large units mount on substantial concrete pads. Compressed air piping throughout facilities may require removal. Our services address this complete scope returning spaces to usable condition.
Bestcare has recycled compressors from manufacturing facilities, automotive plants, food processors, and industrial parks across Kenya, with experience encompassing Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, Sullair, and other major brands.
Timing considerations frequently drive projects. Production demands may require rapid replacement minimizing downtime. Our project management ensures efficient removal and disposal meeting your operational requirements.
