FAQ
Evapco controlled atmosphere installation in Diep River
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a avocado packhouses site in Diep River?
Diep River sits on the M3 and M5, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Diep River Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency controlled atmosphere installation runs 24/7 because chilling injury greys pulp below 4 °c.
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/R744/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 controlled atmosphere 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 GLOBALG.A.P. documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Avocado Packhouses run at +4 °C to +7 °C at 90–95% RH, with controlled atmosphere installation performed against 1–3% O₂, 0–5% CO₂ at −0.5 °C to +2 °C. Chilling injury greys pulp below 4 °C
