Hoerbiger supplier in Romania
Automation valves and compressor components
Headquarters: Zug, Switzerland
Who is Hoerbiger and what does it make?
Hoerbiger is an industrial group with origins in 1895 (the steel plate valve patent), a manufacturer of components for reciprocating compressors, flow and motion control systems, and equipment for the hydrogen industry. The compressor range covers profiled plate valves (XP, CP, CPs), high-pressure ring valves (HPV), valves made of non-metallic materials (CT, CS) and profiled ring valves (CE), complemented by capacity control systems (HydroCOM, eHydroCOM), digital lubrication (XperLUBE) and emission control panels (ECP). For the Romanian market we can quote mainly from the range of valves for reciprocating compressors, relevant for the maintenance of existing process plants.
What sets Hoerbiger apart in the compressor valve category is the very wide coverage of capacity control technologies — from classic hydraulic systems such as HydroCOM to fully electric versions (eHydroCOM) and clearance volume adjustment systems (eVCP), all in the same range. On the automation side, the manufacturer also offers electrohydraulic actuators (TriVAX) and piezo valves (P8/P20, P9, P13, Tecno, LasGAR, LasGAM), whose functions are confirmed from the manufacturer's documentation.
For operators of industrial plants, refineries and compressor stations in Romania, the Hoerbiger range makes sense for the maintenance or retrofit of existing reciprocating compressors, and for projects that introduce electronic capacity control in place of classic mechanical regulation.
What do we supply from the Hoerbiger range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Valves for Reciprocating Compressors (XP/CP/CPs/HPV/CT/CE/CS) | Family of metal profiled plate valves (XP, CP, CPs), high-pressure ring valves (HPV), non-metallic plate valves (CT), low-pressure non-metallic valves (CS) and profiled ring valves (CE), for reciprocating compressors in the process industry. The customer must specify the compressor model and the working pressure of the stage concerned. |
| HydroCOM / eHydroCOM Capacity Control Systems | Systems for continuous, stepless regulation of reciprocating compressor capacity, in hydraulic (HydroCOM) or fully electric (eHydroCOM) versions, for matching the delivered flow to the real process demand. Typical application: energy savings on compressors that frequently run at part load. The compressor type and the required regulation range must be specified. |
| XperLUBE Digital Lubrication | Digital lubrication system with a common rail, for precise dosing of lubricant at each lubrication point of the compressor. Typical application: reducing lubricant consumption and preventing premature wear on process compressors. The customer must indicate the number of lubrication points of the compressor. |
| Precision Piezo Valves and Actuators | Family of piezo valves (P8/P20, P9, P13, Tecno) and the TriVAX electrohydraulic actuator; the functions and applications of each model are confirmed from the manufacturer's documentation. The working pressure and the type of gas used must be specified. |

How do we supply Hoerbiger in Romania?
For the Hoerbiger range we work from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we check availability before quoting. We supply valves for reciprocating compressors, lubrication components and piezo valves from the Hoerbiger range made to order, through European supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks of order confirmation. For a correct quotation we need the compressor or plant model, the working pressure of the stage concerned and the number of lubrication points, where relevant. We check the availability of a specific code on request.
The compatibility of a valve with a compressor of another make is established on the basis of the complete technical data of the compression stage concerned.
Frequently asked questions about Hoerbiger
What products does Hoerbiger make?
Hoerbiger makes valves for reciprocating compressors, compressor capacity control systems, digital lubrication and precision piezo valves for automation and laser cutting. It is an industrial group with origins in 1895, with a range oriented towards the process industry and the hydrogen industry.
How do I choose a Hoerbiger valve by code?
The code indicates the type of construction: XP, CP and CPs are metal profiled plate valves, HPV is for high pressure, CT is a non-metallic plate version, and CS is a non-metallic version for low pressure. The exact choice depends on the compressor model and the pressure of the stage concerned.
What is the Hoerbiger HydroCOM control system?
HydroCOM from Hoerbiger is a system dedicated to capacity control of reciprocating compressors; the choice is made according to the exact compressor type and the regulation range wanted.
Do you supply Hoerbiger valves in Romania and how long does it take?
We supply Hoerbiger compressor valves, lubrication components and piezo valves made to order, through European supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks of confirmation, depending on the availability of the code at the manufacturer.
What data do you need for a Hoerbiger valve quotation?
We need the compressor or plant model, the working pressure of the stage concerned and the number of lubrication points, if the request also includes lubrication components, in order to identify the correct code from the range.
How do I request a Hoerbiger quotation?
