KAFCRYOGENICS
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers actually ask before a first order, answered the way we answer them in person.

01What exactly does KAF Cryogenics sell?

KAF Cryogenics manufactures and supplies storage tanks, semi-trailers, bobtails, truck-mounted tanks, ambient vaporizers and process equipment for LIN, LOX, LAR, LNG, LCO2 and LPG. Every category is available through two channels: new production and certified pre-owned units from stock.

02Is second-hand cryogenic equipment safe to buy?

Properly inspected and documented, yes. Our certified pre-owned units pass visual inspection, non-destructive testing, vacuum or pressure testing and safety device checks before listing. You receive the inspection report, test results and a written warranty with the offer. Units that cannot pass or cannot be documented are not sold as certified pre-owned.

03How much faster is buying from stock?

New fabrication in this industry typically runs several months to a year depending on the equipment. Stock units, new or pre-owned, typically ship within weeks after preparation. The exact window is stated in writing in every offer.

04Which documents come with a unit?

Per unit as applicable: design code documentation, declaration of conformity, material certificates (EN 10204 3.1), pressure and leak test records, vacuum performance record, NDT reports, manuals, and for pre-owned units the inspection report, refurbishment record and warranty terms.

05Do you buy used equipment or take trade-ins?

Both. We buy tanks, trailers and vaporizers outright and accept trade-ins against new orders. Send nameplate and overall photos with basic data; appraisal comes within five working days.

06Which regions do you serve?

Türkiye, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia. Transport and customs documentation support is part of the delivery scope.

07Which standards do you work to?

Our production and quality processes are certified under PED 2014/68/EU, EN 13458, EN 13530, AD 2000, ASME, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 3834-2. The applicable set for a specific unit is stated in its offer. Certificate copies are not published online for security reasons; validity can be verified during supplier qualification.

08How is KAF Cryogenics related to KAF Industries?

KAF Cryogenics is the specialized cryogenic and gas equipment operation of the KAF group (KAF ULUSLARARASI TİCARET A.Ş., Istanbul). The group's trading arm, KAF Industries, covers industrial trading and sourcing across several sectors; equipment supply in this field runs through KAF Cryogenics.

09Can you rent equipment instead of selling it?

Rental and lease-style structures are handled case by case, mainly on transport equipment and standard tanks. Describe the need and duration; if a rental structure makes sense for the unit, we will offer it.

10How fast do you respond to an enquiry?

Confirmation the same working day, offer within 48 working hours when the parameters are complete. If we cannot offer, you hear that quickly too, with the reason.
