FAQ

Bock compressor rack installation in Howick Industrial

How fast can a technician service Bock equipment at a wineries & wine cellars site in Howick Industrial?

Howick Industrial sits on the N3 and R103, so our Howick dispatch reaches most Howick Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency compressor rack installation runs 24/7 because fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds.

Do you stock OEM components for Bock systems?

Yes — Bock shaft seals, suction filters and gasket kits. Bock (Germany) equipment on R404A/R134a 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 SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.

What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?

Wineries & Wine Cellars run at +8 °C to +16 °C at 70–80% RH, with compressor rack installation performed against −40 °C to +5 °C suction groups. Fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds
