Local context

Working in Isipingo

We service Isipingo Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Isipingo, Durban, with access off the N2 and M4. 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 Isipingo

How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a potato & onion storage site in Isipingo?

Isipingo sits on the N2 and M4, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Isipingo Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency controlled atmosphere installation 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 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?

Potato & Onion Storage run at +4 °C to +10 °C at 85–95% RH, with controlled atmosphere installation performed against 1–3% O₂, 0–5% CO₂ at −0.5 °C to +2 °C. Condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack
