Commodity
Compressor scrap
HVAC, refrigeration and sealed industrial compressor units.
Trade overview
Specified for real-world processing
Bergent sources HVAC, refrigeration, hermetic, and air-conditioning compressor units from European decommissioning projects, industrial facilities, and commercial recycling streams. Compressor scrap contains recoverable copper, steel, and aluminium, making it attractive to Pakistani foundries, metal processors, and smelters. Shipments discharge at Karachi KPT or Port Qasim.
- Principal destination
- Pakistan (Karachi KPT / Port Qasim)

Material in view
Unit type and condition matter before loading
Hermetic, semi-hermetic and larger industrial units differ in scale and construction. A clear visual record makes that mix easier to evaluate.
Illustrative yard view
Compressors grouped by recognisable type
Lot-level views should show the balance of small sealed units and larger equipment rather than relying on a single close-up.
Handling context
Dense units require practical loading plans
Unit size, total weight and the selected container determine how a shipment is arranged and secured.
