Local context
Working in Epping Industria
We service Epping Industria 1 and 2, Epping Fresh Produce Market and the surrounding blocks of Epping Industria, Cape Town, with access off the N2 and N7 and M7. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Frascold compressor overhaul in Epping Industria
How fast can a technician service Frascold equipment at a airfreight perishable handling site in Epping Industria?
Epping Industria sits on the N2 and N7 and M7, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Epping Industria 1 and 2 sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor overhaul 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 overhaul 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 overhaul performed against −45 °C to +12 °C evaporating. Ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift
