FAQ
Evapco cold room construction in Kathu Industrial
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries 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 slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.
Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?
Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on R717/R744/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 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?
Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with cold room construction performed against −2 °C to +12 °C room design. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
