FAQ
Bitzer compressor rack installation in Mthatha Industrial
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a airfreight perishable handling site in Mthatha Industrial?
Mthatha Industrial sits on the N2 and R61, so our Mthatha dispatch reaches most Mthatha Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor rack installation runs 24/7 because ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift.

What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every compressor rack installation 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 rack installation performed against −40 °C to +5 °C suction groups. Ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift
