Local context

Working in Diep River

We service Diep River Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Diep River, Cape Town, with access off the M3 and M5. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ

Alfa Laval cooling tower maintenance in Diep River

How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a macadamia processing 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 cooling tower maintenance 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 cooling tower maintenance 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 cooling tower maintenance performed against +28 °C to +40 °C condenser water. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
