Refrigerator Compressors

We are looking for an additional supply 5000 compressors monthly, sealed with oil, of US origin and recently pulled for export to the​ Dominican Republic. We are looking to offer USD$7.00+ (negotiable on quality) per compressor packaged in pallets. We import around 10,000 compressors monthly from different yards in the US and are looking to expand our supplier base. I personally travel to the US on a monthly basis and would be happy to visit you to establish a relationship and inspect your offerings. We are looking to establish a mutually​​ beneficial​​ long-term​​ working​​ relationship​​ with you.
​​
We also purchase the evaporator fan for USD$1.50 and the​​ condenser​​ black back coil for USD$1.00, if you are interested in selling those. These allow us to have a wider selection for our clients. Suppliers tend to find selling these to us attractive.
​​
PM for more details. We are a serious buyer and travel to the US monthly to inspect compressors and will meet any serious suppliers.
​​
Regards,
Alex

Edit:
We are also interested in A/C compressors in quantities of over 200.

PM me any questions

Clarification.

We deliver a container to your yard and cover all shipping costs.

I would love to help as per your PM but I only get one or two a week. I have them cut up before I finish my second after work beer.

I would love to sell them to you for a better profit but as a small time scrapper I have not the room to collect that many. On the other hand I see a good market that seems to be untapped at this point. On second thought I will be looking into this,....

I have for some time now considered sealing up the working compressors and setting them aside. How many would it take from me, ( A small time AC guy) for you to be interested in dealing with?

I recall you want only USA product. Would you kindly expand on that?

Thanks,

Joe

injunjoe,

Thanks for the reply. We are looking for larger quantities of over 1500 to at least fill a 20ft container. We also purchase couple of refrigerators and A/Cs with each container. We pay for the back coil of refrigerators and evaporator fans. As you said this is a untapped market. A 40ft container can easily be worth upwards USD22,000 to us and an huge opportunity for a smaller scrapper. If you have contacts in the area take the time to get in touch with them and see what you can find. We are a reliable and constant buyer.

The reason we require US/Canada product is because our refrigerator compressors need to be 110v 60Hz, as opposed to for example UK which is 220v 50Hz. These compressors will not be scrapped for metals and instead reused as replacement parts for older refrigerators down here in the Dominican Republic. Generally under 10% of the compressors we purchase are bad and are resold as scrap down here. (A/C compressors should be 220v 60Hz)

Feel free to ask more questions.

Just wanted to put another option out there, a deal we recently struck.

We will pay USD$8.00 per compressor if we can select them. Under most circumstances we will pick at least 90% of any load as good. You can then sell the others through you usual channels. This allows us to save in not having to buy and transport compressors which are useless (to us anyways) and pay the supplier more per compressor. You get more money for a smaller load and we save in rejects.

We inspect compressors before any purchase so we can give a estimate of rejects before any deal is finalized.

Shoot me any questions.

The yard I go to, is one of the biggest yards for Northern Virginia and Maryland.

You can reach the yard I go to at:

Prince William Metal Recycling
7905 Notes Drive
Manassas, VA 20109
(703) 330-5881
M-F: 7:30am-4:30pm
Saturday: 7:30am-11:30am

When you contact them, just ask to speak to someone about buying whatever it is your looking for. Compressors, fridges, etc.

No need to mention my name, as I don't get a commission or nothing like that.

The more buyers they get, the better prices are for everyone.

Thanks for the info. My brother (the actual inspector) is currently in Baltimore. Let's see how it goes. I will let you know.

edit:

We do generally like to deal with recyclers, more than scrap yards. The people who actually take apart the refrigerator. This allows us to buy other refrigerator parts from them and for better quality.

Interesting as i always figure many compressors still work.

Jeviduty, do they make models of things out of the left over compressor parts?

I see small models of stuff like motorbikes & small men doing things like this.

Nope we sell them as scrap.

We are looking for anyone who is in the east coast and can get something over 200 A/C rotary compressors (220v). Also some larger 3,4,5 ton compressors.

We pay ABOVE scrap prices.

Pm me

phillg - phillg has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

Replying here hopefully you'll see it.

Hi phillip,

We only work with recyclers that actually remove the compressors themselves from the refrigerator. We travel monthly to the US to inspect. We will gladly visit anyone to make an offer and negotiate a deal. We prepay before loading and organize shipping.

As for the windows A/C, we only purchase 220v rotary compressors.

Let me know if you have any questions.

hey i may have what your looking for do you buy from canada and also send me a pm with what your looking for.

Are you still looking for compressors?

Interesting. $7 for a refridgerator compressor. Some money to be made there!

we have hundereds a month and can produce even more with more incentive

We are the only local recycler who dismantles ac and refrigerator units. The quota of 200 at a time is no problem. 1500 is a bit tougher and take more time. PM me see what we can do.

Rio, don't you break down your compressors?

We never have joe, should we be?

What is your yard paying you for them now? As long as it's over .25 a pound it might be a push for you.

Joe I will have to check we keep them till we can do a half and half tub of them and ele motors. Think last time we did that we got electric motor price on them but they are usually about .10 diffrence.

Is there any chance you have a website?

Click on the persons name and when it opens there is something called "personal message". But brand new people I don't think can message till you get a few posts under your belt.

Hello, Sir I am in search of used, broken compressors. Please contact me via the forum.

Hi are you seeking any off these prducts from australia

Only of US and Canadian Origin.

Currently paying up to 8.50 per fridge compressor with copper prices ~3.40 in quantaties over 2000.

PM for more info.

Theres guys here in NZ who buy the 240V AC fridge compressors etc & sent them to Dubai.

I don't know what they pay per compressor but I think they are the same guys who buy small vans & send them there too. I'll find out.

We are still looking for more refrigerator and A/C compressors. Contact me for more info.

We are starting a new purchasing program for 220v rotary A/C compressors. Basically we will pay $15-$20 a unit for at least 100 units (1 gaylord box) and cover shipping costs to our freight forwarder. We do have certain specifications because the compressors are to be reinstalled in A/C units.

Very simple you collect 100 of them packaged in gaylord box, shoot us an email and we will pay you and arrange shipping. Any questions please shoot me a PM

How should these fridge motors be prepaired?

I leave the metal tubes & copper wire on them as long as possible & wind it around the compressor.
Should I remove the temp switch thing & attach it to the compressor too? I leave the oil in them as well.

Pretty much eesakiwi. Though not the temp switch. Just long 5 inch copper tubing and the relay with long wires 8 inches, with the oil inside. We do need fridge compressors in quantities of 1800 for a container load. Keep in mind. Not worth shipping in smaller quantities.

Just to clarify my post on 9-19 was about Home Air Conditioning Units such as windows A/Cs and smaller split systems (these are worth shipping in smaller quantities). All 220v

In every refrigerators is usually a piece sealed cooling system that installed where pieces of the compressor that cannot be easily be swapped out with a specialized machinery. If you get a price then quote from a refrigerator that repairman that puts a repairs that will I’d be inclined you recommend a full replacement.

hello we are a scrap metal company in ny.we can supply 15000lb a/c compressors or more in a month. please pm me the prices .thanks

All of this is too fishy, if you ask me. Good luck, but international buyers/shipping provided free? 2,000-5,000 units, no problem for the average scrapper. Why wouldn't they contact 3M directly?

What ever and if you believe this...... Could be legit, but...............

Hi Flathead,

I'm not sure what aspect of this is fishy to you. Do you refer to the A/C compressor purchasing by gaylord box? Please elaborate I will be more than happy to give as many details as possible.

I can assure you this is a legitimate business. Although to be 100% honest I have yet to actually do any business with anyone from this forum.

Why are you exporting these units? What will be their use?

They recondition them. Their taxes are really high on brand new goods but old & repairable stuff won't get taxed as much, or cost as much to the buyer.

Keep in mind the the country has rich people & poor people & not much in between. The rich people can afford to pay 100% import Tax on a fridge.

But the poor people can't, so they buy in used stuff and employ local people to fix them & sell the units.
Good for everyone, people get a job, a cheap fridge & now they can keep their food cold.

i travel out there all the time and you should see the refrigarator in the apt i have i always have to put the food in the freezer. but every thing in dr is always fixed never scrapped so i know he needs lots of compressors. but my question to the poster do you buy the whole a/c working or not i know theres a demand on them there or do they charge you the tax on them and are there any other thing you take to fill the container thats in demand
