Local context
Working in Perseverance
We service Perseverance Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Perseverance, Gqeberha, with access off the N2 and R335. Coastal salt-laden air plus wide day-night temperature swings demand coated coils and tight vapour barriers.

FAQ
Bitzer energy retrofit & optimisation in Perseverance
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Perseverance?
Perseverance sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Perseverance Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency energy retrofit & optimisation runs 24/7 because chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line.
Do you stock OEM components for Bitzer systems?
Yes — Genuine Bitzer valve plates, gasket sets, oil pumps and OLC-D1 protection modules. Bitzer (Germany) equipment on R404A/R744/R717 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 energy retrofit & optimisation 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?
Dairy Processing Plants run at +2 °C to +4 °C at 80–85% RH, with energy retrofit & optimisation performed against Plant-wide kWh reduction of 15–35%. Chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line
