Local context
Working in Pinetown
We service Pinetown Industrial, New Germany and the surrounding blocks of Pinetown, Durban, with access off the N3 and M13. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

FAQ
Frascold compressor burnout cleanup in Pinetown
How fast can a technician service Frascold equipment at a airfreight perishable handling site in Pinetown?
Pinetown sits on the N3 and M13, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Pinetown Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor burnout cleanup runs 24/7 because ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift.
Do you stock OEM components for Frascold systems?
Yes — Frascold gasket sets, oil separators and capacity control valves. Frascold (Italy) equipment on R744/R134a/R449A 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 compressor burnout cleanup 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 IATA PCR documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Airfreight Perishable Handling run at +2 °C to +8 °C at 85–90% RH, with compressor burnout cleanup performed against −40 °C to +10 °C evaporating. Ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift
