Spare Parts from Used Kitchen and Bar Equipment

Spare parts from used professional equipment are a cost-effective solution when the original spare part is no longer available from the manufacturer or distributor, or its price is too high compared to the remaining value of the equipment. Dismantled equipment can be a valuable source of functional parts — motors, heating elements, pumps, control panels and other components that are in good condition. BHS offers tested used spare parts to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

When to choose used spare parts

Older equipment with discontinued spare part production — when the original part is no longer manufactured and a compatible new equivalent is not available, a used part from the same type of equipment is an optimal solution. Equipment with high repair costs and low market value — if a new part would cost proportionally too much compared to the overall value of the equipment. Unique or rare models — specific parts from some manufacturers are only available from used models. Emergency situations — when a new part is not available quickly enough and a functional used part is the best way to restore equipment operation as soon as possible. BHS helps assess whether used or new spare parts are the more suitable solution in a specific situation.

Which parts are available from used equipment

Mechanical components — motors, pumps, fans and compressors from dismantled equipment with low wear. Electronic control elements — control panels, display modules, thermostats and programmers for older model equipment. Heating elements — heating elements and timers that are not mechanically worn but come from equipment that is visually or otherwise damaged. Hydraulic and pneumatic components — pumps, valves and pipes for specific models. Structural elements — doors, shelves, trays and inner panels that are often in excellent condition even from dismantled equipment. BHS offers used parts in various categories.

HACCP and the safe use of used parts

Using used spare parts requires careful confirmation that the part meets the required technical parameters and is functional. Heating elements and pumps must be electrically tested before installation. Mechanical parts must be physically checked for cracks, corrosion or excessive wear. After replacement, a mandatory equipment check, including a temperature test and HACCP compliance check. BHS offers only tested functional parts.

HoReCa usage scenarios

Replacing the control board of an old coffee machine with an identical board from used equipment is much more cost-effective than buying a new machine — if the mechanical part works flawlessly. A heating element for a rare manufacturer’s convection oven that is no longer produced is often found from dismantled equipment models. BHS helps find the required part from used professional equipment, reducing downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Are used spare parts reliable? The reliability of used spare parts depends on their level of wear and the condition after testing. BHS offers only those used parts that have been electrically or mechanically tested and deemed functional.

How to know if the price of used parts is justified? The price of used parts is usually 30–70% lower than that of a new original part. If the part is rarely sought or no longer manufactured, the price may be higher. BHS provides advice on the justification of the price in a specific case and helps compare the total costs of new and used solutions.
