FAQ
Alfa Laval air-cooled condenser cleaning in Estoire
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a macadamia processing site in Estoire?
Estoire sits on the N1 and N8, so our Bloemfontein dispatch reaches most Estoire Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency air-cooled condenser cleaning runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.
Do you stock OEM components for Alfa Laval systems?
Yes — Alfa Laval plate packs, gaskets and cleaning-in-place chemistry. Alfa Laval (Sweden) equipment on R404A/R134a charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every air-cooled condenser cleaning job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with air-cooled condenser cleaning performed against +40 °C to +55 °C condensing in peak ambient. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
