FAQ
Evapco blast freezer installation in Rocky Drift
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a macadamia processing site in Rocky Drift?
Rocky Drift sits on the N4 and R40, so our White River dispatch reaches most Rocky Drift Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency blast freezer installation runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.
Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?
Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on R404A 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 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
