FAQ
Bitzer compressor overhaul in Saldanha Industrial
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Saldanha Industrial?
Saldanha Industrial sits on the R27 and R45, so our Saldanha dispatch reaches most Saldanha Bay IDZ sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor overhaul runs 24/7 because chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line.

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 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?
Dairy Processing Plants run at +2 °C to +4 °C at 80–85% RH, with compressor overhaul performed against −45 °C to +12 °C evaporating. Chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line
