Local context
Working in Riverhorse Valley
We service Riverhorse Valley Business Estate and the surrounding blocks of Riverhorse Valley, Durban, with access off the N2 and M19. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

FAQ
Evapco controlled atmosphere installation in Riverhorse Valley
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a macadamia processing site in Riverhorse Valley?
Riverhorse Valley sits on the N2 and M19, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Riverhorse Valley Business Estate sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency controlled atmosphere installation runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.
Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?
Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on 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 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 controlled atmosphere installation performed against 1–3% O₂, 0–5% CO₂ at −0.5 °C to +2 °C. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
