FAQ

How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Bethlehem Industrial?
Bethlehem Industrial sits on the N5 and R26, so our Bethlehem dispatch reaches most Bethlehem Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor overhaul runs 24/7 because chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line.

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 HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
