Local context
Working in Marlboro
We service Marlboro Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Marlboro, Sandton, with access off the M1 and N3. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.

FAQ
Bitzer compressor burnout cleanup in Marlboro
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a food manufacturing plants site in Marlboro?
Marlboro sits on the M1 and N3, so our Sandton dispatch reaches most Marlboro Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor burnout cleanup runs 24/7 because process cooling loss stops the production line.
Do you stock OEM components for Bitzer systems?
Yes — Genuine Bitzer valve plates, gasket sets, oil pumps and OLC-D1 protection modules. Bitzer (Germany) equipment on R404A/R744/R717 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 FSSC 22000 documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Food Manufacturing Plants run at −25 °C to +12 °C at 60–85% RH, with compressor burnout cleanup performed against −40 °C to +10 °C evaporating. Process cooling loss stops the production line
