Local context
Working in Croydon
We service Croydon Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Croydon, Kempton Park, with access off the R21 and N12. 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 overhaul in Croydon
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a ice cream & frozen dessert plants site in Croydon?
Croydon sits on the R21 and N12, so our Kempton Park dispatch reaches most Croydon Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor overhaul runs 24/7 because heat shock during hardening causes ice crystal growth.
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 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?
Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Plants run at −30 °C to −25 °C at 80–85% RH, with compressor overhaul performed against −45 °C to +12 °C evaporating. Heat shock during hardening causes ice crystal growth
