Local context

Working in Polokwane Industrial

We service Polokwane Industrial, Superbia and the surrounding blocks of Polokwane Industrial, Polokwane, with access off the N1 and R71. Long, hot lowveld summers regularly exceed 36 °C, so high-ambient head pressure control and shaded plant rooms are non-negotiable.

FAQ

Alfa Laval condensing unit overhaul in Polokwane Industrial

How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a macadamia processing site in Polokwane Industrial?

Polokwane Industrial sits on the N1 and R71, so our Polokwane dispatch reaches most Polokwane Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency condensing unit overhaul runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

Do you stock OEM components for Alfa Laval systems?

Yes — Alfa Laval plate packs, gaskets and cleaning-in-place chemistry. Alfa Laval (Sweden) 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 condensing unit 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?

Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with condensing unit overhaul performed against +35 °C to +50 °C condensing. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
