Local context
Working in Kelvin
We service Kelvin Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Kelvin, Sandton, with access off the N3 and M1. 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 Kelvin
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a wineries & wine cellars site in Kelvin?
Kelvin sits on the N3 and M1, so our Sandton dispatch reaches most Kelvin Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor burnout cleanup runs 24/7 because fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds.
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/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 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 SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Wineries & Wine Cellars run at +8 °C to +16 °C at 70–80% RH, with compressor burnout cleanup performed against −40 °C to +10 °C evaporating. Fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds
