FAQ
Evapco blast freezer installation in Kirkwood Industrial
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site 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 slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.

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?
Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with blast freezer installation performed against −35 °C to −40 °C air-off. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
