When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Gemini H Series compressor parts got hard to find and expensive fast. Customers who used to call their OEM started calling us instead — and it made us ask why we weren't already making those parts ourselves.
Under the direction of our VP of Operations, we invested in two DMG Mori machines dedicated entirely to manufacturing Gemini H Series pistons, rods, and piston/rod assemblies — built to meet or exceed OEM specifications, using techniques that are field-proven, not just theoretical. To date we've built more than 1,200 Gemini piston rod assemblies, in sizes from 3 in. to 8 in., across three different connector configurations.
That effort caught the attention of Gas Compression Magazine, which featured the program in its July 2024 issue under the headline "A New Source for Gemini H Series Components" — writing that "Disco adds new product line to its portfolio of aftermarket parts."
It's the same in-house philosophy behind everything else we do: metalizing and relining cylinders, rebuilding rotary screw compressors, rebabbiting crossheads — if it's specialty work most shops farm out, we'd rather build the capability ourselves than make a customer wait on someone else's schedule.
