OUR EIGHT STEP PROCESS

Precision, Performance, and Reliability

At CPR Industries, we understand that a malfunctioning compressor means costly downtime and lost productivity. That’s why we follow a meticulous 8-step repair and remanufacturing process — designed to restore your compressor to peak performance, extend its lifespan, and ensure reliable operation. With decades of expertise, advanced technology, and a commitment to quality, our team ensures every compressor leaves our facility in like-new condition. Let’s walk through the process that sets CPR Industries apart.

1. Initial Inspection & Evaluation

Our repair process starts with a comprehensive inspection and performance evaluation. This step is crucial to understanding the root cause of the failure — whether it’s excessive wear, contamination, mechanical breakdown, or misalignment. Our experienced technicians perform:

  • Visual Inspection: Identifying signs of external damage, corrosion, or leaks.
  • Operational Assessment: If applicable, we assess the compressor’s last-known performance metrics.
  • Customer Consultation: We discuss any symptoms or issues noticed on-site to better tailor our repair plan.

This thorough evaluation ensures we catch even the smallest issues that could lead to bigger problems down the line.

2. Disassembly

After the initial assessment, our technicians carefully disassemble the compressor to access all internal components. Each part is tagged and cataloged to ensure nothing is missed during the repair. This process includes:

  • Separation of Critical Components: Pistons, crankshafts, valve plates, and seals are individually handled to avoid further damage.
  • Damage Assessment: As we take the unit apart, we inspect for cracks, warping, and signs of overheating.

Our goal is to fully understand the extent of the damage and prepare for precision repairs and replacements.

3. Cleaning

A clean compressor is a reliable compressor — and that’s why we take cleaning seriously. Each component undergoes a multi-step cleaning process, including:

  • Chemical Bathing: Strips away old oil, carbon buildup, and contaminants.
  • Ultrasonic Cleaning: Uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate and clean even the smallest, hard-to-reach areas.
  • Pressure Washing: For larger parts, ensuring all grime and debris are removed.

This deep clean prepares parts for accurate measurement and refurbishment, ensuring no debris compromises the final assembly.

4. Detailed Component Inspection

Once the parts are spotless, our team performs a detailed inspection using precision instruments. This includes:

  • Micrometers and Calipers: To measure wear on shafts, bearings, and piston rings.
  • Crack Detection: Using dye penetrants and magnetic particle testing to uncover micro-cracks and structural flaws.
  • Alignment Checks: Ensuring shafts and cylinders remain true to original specifications.

Each component is evaluated against OEM standards, ensuring only parts that meet or exceed specifications move forward.

5. Machining and Rebuilding

This is where CPR Industries’ advanced machining capabilities shine. Worn or damaged parts are reconditioned or replaced. Our in-house machining process includes:

  • Line Boring: Restores cylinder and housing bores to precise alignment.
  • Crankshaft Regrinding: Resurfaces crankshafts to perfect balance and smooth operation.
  • Valve Plate Machining: Ensures proper sealing for optimal airflow and efficiency.

For parts beyond repair, we source high-quality replacements designed to meet or exceed OEM standards.

6. Reassembly

With each component restored to like-new condition, we begin the careful reassembly process. This includes:

  • Precision Torqueing: All bolts and fasteners are tightened to exact specifications to prevent stress fractures and leaks.
  • New Seals and Gaskets: Installed to ensure a complete, leak-free seal.
  • Proper Alignment: Crankshafts, pistons, and rods are aligned to avoid unnecessary wear.

Our experienced technicians ensure every part fits together flawlessly for optimal performance.

7. Testing and Quality Control

We believe no compressor should leave our facility without proving it can handle the job. Each rebuilt unit undergoes rigorous performance testing, including:

  • Pressure Testing: Ensures the unit can hold pressure without leaks.
  • Load Simulation: Mimics real-world operating conditions to confirm reliability.
  • Vibration Analysis: Ensures the compressor runs smoothly without excess vibration, which can lead to premature failure.
  • Temperature Monitoring: To ensure no overheating occurs under heavy use.

We push every compressor to its limits — so you never have to worry about yours failing under pressure.

8. Final Inspection and Shipping

Before the compressor is returned to you, it undergoes a final detailed inspection, ensuring every component meets our strict quality standards. This includes:

  • Final Performance Verification: Ensuring consistent, reliable output.
  • Painting and Coating: Protects the unit from corrosion and wear.
  • Secure Packaging: Carefully packed to prevent damage during transport.

We don’t just send your compressor back — we ensure it’s in peak condition and built to last..
