FAQ
Kide cold room construction in Kathu Industrial
How fast can a technician service Kide equipment at a macadamia processing site in Kathu Industrial?
Kathu Industrial sits on the N14 and R380, so our Kathu dispatch reaches most Kathu Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency cold room construction runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.
Do you stock OEM components for Kide systems?
Yes — Kide panel locks, gaskets, heated frames and door hardware. Kide (Spain) 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 cold room construction 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 cold room construction performed against −2 °C to +12 °C room design. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
