Who it's for
The MAX 3 is the unit for workshops where A/C service is a core revenue stream, not a sideline. The large tank, fast recovery and reporting cut waiting times in the busy season.
Workshops that need brand-standard reporting, an extensive vehicle database and corporate service records.
Heavy traffic in season; the 25 kg tank and 450 g/min rate shorten the time per vehicle, so more cars leave the same day.
High capacity for buses and service vehicles; 33 kg tank option and a rugged steel housing.
Key features
360° rotating panel; multilingual menu and step-by-step operator guidance. The whole process at a glance on the large screen.
Software and the vehicle database are updated free of charge over the internet; the service report is e‑mailed to the customer.
Up-to-date refrigerant and oil quantities for passenger and commercial vehicles are stored in the unit; select make/model and the values are filled in automatically.
Gram-accurate charging with high-precision sensors; never too little, never too much refrigerant.
Recovery, vacuum, leak test, oil and refrigerant charging run in sequence without intervention.
Leak detection with a precision vacuum sensor; non-condensable gases are purged automatically when needed.
A separate oil line for hybrid vehicles and a built-in UV dye injection system for leak detection.
Metal cabinet resistant to chemicals, impacts and scratches; easy to manoeuvre with a 360° rotating screen and four wheels.
Service workflow
Seven steps run in sequence without user intervention. Every job can be printed on the 57 mm thermal printer or reported by e‑mail.

The MAX 3 family
Same housing, same 10" screen, same speed. The difference is what you want to do with the refrigerant: single refrigerant, multiple refrigerants or service with analysis.
The most efficient choice for busy workshops working with a single refrigerant. Configured for R134a or R1234yf when ordered.
Works with more than one refrigerant using external cylinders and the electronic scale system; for fleets and workshops with a mix of refrigerants.
The built-in analysis module measures the purity of the vehicle's refrigerant before charging; contaminated or mixed refrigerant is caught before it can damage the unit or the compressor.
