FAQ
Evapco blast freezer installation in Kirkwood Industrial

Kirkwood Industrial sits on the R336 and N10, so our Kirkwood dispatch reaches most Sundays River Valley packing precinct sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency blast freezer installation runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every blast freezer installation 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 blast freezer installation performed against −35 °C to −40 °C air-off. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
