Local context
Working in Philippi
We service Philippi Horticultural Area, Philippi Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Philippi, Cape Town, with access off the N2 and R300. 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 rack installation in Philippi
How fast can a technician service Frascold equipment at a airfreight perishable handling site in Philippi?
Philippi sits on the N2 and R300, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Philippi Horticultural Area sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor rack installation 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 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
