Industrial spare parts for Bern: depth rather than breadth
Anyone who does not only use steam but delivers it runs transfer points, so the wear on them is not a works matter but a supply obligation towards other companies. Material, operating limit and franc price for them sit on shukchok before you enquire.
Your rhythm in Bern
Three fuels mean three measuring trains, not the same one three times
Waste-to-energy, a wood-fired power plant and a combined-cycle gas plant on one site under one roof: that combination exists nowhere else in Switzerland. Together the three cover around a third of Bern electricity demand and 15 per cent of its heat demand.
For maintenance the combination is the actual point. Three firing systems on different fuels mean three flue gas trains of differing composition — the same categories, but not the same designs. Anyone settling that through a quotation round settles it three times.
On shukchok the distinction stands at the position: an open marketplace for industrial goods carrying material, operating limits and design on all 114 articles, the franc price beside them — and no invoice arriving later at the loading dock.

What that means for your reordering
A distribution network doubles the points where wear occurs
At every transfer point sit shut-off and control valves, pressure reduction, condensate removal and seals — and on both sides, at the generator and at the consumer. That spreads the wear across different companies with maintenance plans of their own, and none of them likes waiting for a quotation.
That is exactly where visible prices earn their place: an operator of a transfer station establishes in minutes whether a design is listed, instead of writing an enquiry. And because a basket accepts articles from several manufacturers, a maintenance round becomes one ordering process — which counts double across the customs border.
The amount is settled too: duty and import charges are collected along with the order and the consignment arrives duty paid. Which delivery term applies to an article is stated on the article.

- Anyone building measurement, control or pressure equipment in Bern can list it here free of charge
- Approvals and inspection reports hang on the article of the supplier who holds them
Three firing systems, three flue gas trains, one steam network
Waste, wood and gas on one site — each with its own measuring train and a shared steam header.
