Galley Equipment Repair, Overhaul, and Exchange
AIRO Industries Company provides dedicated repair and overhaul services for the galley insert equipment that makes onboard food and beverage service possible. Ovens, coffee makers, and waste disposal units are the workhorses of every aircraft galley. They run through multiple service cycles per flight, operate under the stress of altitude, vibration, and temperature variation, and are expected to perform flawlessly every time a cabin crew member turns them on. When they fail, meal service is compromised, passenger experience suffers, and the airline is left managing a write up that pulls equipment out of rotation.
Our galley equipment shop provides component level repair, complete unit overhaul, and ready to install exchange units for operators who cannot afford to wait for a repair cycle. We service equipment from all major galley insert manufacturers including B/E Aerospace (Collins Aerospace), Sell, Iacobucci, Zodiac (Safran), and other OEMs. Every unit that leaves our shop is tested, documented, and certified for return to service.
component from the heating chamber to the exterior housing. We diagnose and repair intermittent faults, replace worn components with OEM approved parts, recalibrate temperature controls, and functional test every unit before release. Our goal is to return each oven to the performance and reliability standard it had when it was new.
CONVECTION OVENS
Convection ovens are the primary heating equipment in most commercial aircraft galleys. They use forced hot air circulation to heat meal trays quickly and evenly, running at temperatures up to 275 degrees Celsius through multiple meal services per day. That level of continuous thermal cycling puts enormous stress on heating elements, fan motors, door seals, thermostats, and control electronics. Over time, elements burn out, fans lose efficiency, seals harden and leak, and control boards develop faults that cause temperature inconsistency or complete failure.
Convection Oven services include:
STEAM OVENS
Steam ovens use water based heating to prepare meals that require moisture retention, and they are commonly found in premium class galleys where food quality standards are higher. These units introduce additional maintenance complexity because they combine a heating system with a water supply, a steam generation system, and a drainage path. Steam ovens are prone to scaling from mineral buildup, water inlet valve failures, steam generator element burnout, and drainage blockages that can take the unit out of service.
Steam Oven services include:
COFFEE MAKERS AND BEVERAGE BREWERS
Coffee is the single most served beverage on commercial flights, and the coffee maker is one of the most frequently used inserts in the galley. Standard drip brewers cycle through dozens of pots per day on busy routes, and the combination of heat, water, and coffee residue creates a harsh operating environment. Heating elements scale over, brew baskets corrode, water lines develop blockages, and seals degrade from repeated thermal cycling. When a coffee maker goes down, crew members are left without one of the most basic tools of cabin service.
Coffee Maker and Beverage Brewer services include:
WATER BOILERS
Hot water boilers provide a continuous supply of hot water for tea, instant beverages, and meal preparation throughout the flight. These units operate under pressure and at sustained high temperatures, which accelerates mineral scaling on heating elements, stresses pressure relief systems, and degrades seals and plumbing connections. A boiler that cannot maintain temperature or that leaks will disrupt beverage service for an entire galley section.
Water Boiler services include:
TRASH COMPACTORS AND WASTE DISPOSAL
Trash compactors reduce the volume of cabin waste generated during flight, allowing crew to manage garbage in the limited space available inside galley monuments. These units use a motorized ram or compression plate to compact waste into a fraction of its original volume, and they operate under demanding conditions. Wet waste, food residue, and the general variety of cabin trash create a harsh environment for the compaction mechanism, motor, drive system, and containment liner. Failures in any of these components can leave cabin crew without waste management capability for an entire galley section.
Trash Compactor and Waste Disposal services include:
EXCHANGE AND INVENTORY PROGRAMS
When a galley insert fails, operators need a serviceable replacement as fast as possible to avoid pulling the galley position out of service or degrading the passenger experience. AIRO Industries Company maintains an inventory of overhauled galley insert equipment available for exchange, allowing operators to swap a failed unit with a ready to install replacement and send the failed unit in for repair on a separate timeline.
Exchange Program features include:
WHY OPERATORS CHOOSE AIRO FOR GALLEY EQUIPMENT
A failed oven means cold meals. A failed coffee maker means no coffee at 35,000 feet. A failed trash compactor means a cabin crew managing loose garbage in a confined space. These are the kinds of failures that passengers notice and remember. AIRO Industries Company keeps galley equipment running with fast turnaround overhauls, exchange units ready to ship, and the component level repair expertise to fix problems the first time.
