The Montauban-de-Bretagne workshop: a key player in innovation for industrial decarbonization
The Montauban-de-Bretagne workshop at Equans France is a technical center where maintenance, repair and overhaul operations are carried out on complex mechanical equipment, to ensure its reliability and durability. With a team of 19 enthusiastic employees, it plays a pivotal role in supporting industries and regions in their energy transition, offering customized solutions to recover waste heat, optimize industrial processes, and develop heat networks and heat pump systems.
Unique know-how to extend equipment life
With 915 m² of workshop and warehouse space, Montauban is home to over 6,000 parts in stock, guaranteeing fast, efficient intervention.
The workshop carries out 460 complete mechanical overhauls every year, covering compressors, oil pumps and electric motors of all makes and generations.
We also keep some twenty remanufactured compressors in stock.
This high-precision work helps reduce waste and limits the need for new purchases. This contributes directly to a more sustainable industry by reducing its carbon footprint.
Reducing costs and environmental impact through innovation
The workshop innovates by remanufacturing parts that are no longer available on the market. These operations, carried out in partnership with specialists, enable us to save compressors and avoid their complete replacement, thus reducing costs and environmental impact.
Case in point: when the manufacturer stopped production of the discharge ports, the workshop succeeded in replicating this essential part. This replica enabled the compressor to be reused, extending its service life and avoiding heavy investment in new equipment.
Thanks to these overhauls and reconditionings, the workshop ensures :
-
Reliability and longevity of industrial equipment, limiting production stoppages and energy consumption.
-
Optimized maintenance costs and reduced downtime.
-
Constant availability of compatible parts, avoiding premature obsolescence.
Combining expertise and quality for industrial decarbonization
The workshop works in collaboration with local Axima Réfrigération agencies, an entity of Equans France, to intervene directly on customer sites, guaranteeing high-quality follow-up tailored to specific needs.
By combining innovation, manufacturing quality and technical expertise, the Montauban-de-Bretagne workshop actively supports energy transition projects.
It offers concrete, sustainable solutions to support the decarbonization of industrial processes and the development of renewable thermal energies.
