Local context
Working in Stellenbosch Techno Park
We service Stellenbosch Techno Park and the surrounding blocks of Stellenbosch Techno Park, Stellenbosch, with access off the R44 and R310. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Bitzer energy retrofit & optimisation in Stellenbosch Techno Park
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Stellenbosch Techno Park?
Stellenbosch Techno Park sits on the R44 and R310, so our Stellenbosch dispatch reaches most Stellenbosch Techno Park 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
