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
Evapco condensing unit overhaul in Philippi
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a potato & onion storage 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 condensing unit overhaul runs 24/7 because condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack.
Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?
Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on R717/R404A 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 GLOBALG.A.P. documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Potato & Onion Storage run at +4 °C to +10 °C at 85–95% RH, with condensing unit overhaul performed against +35 °C to +50 °C condensing. Condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack
