Local context
Working in Mobeni
We service Mobeni Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Mobeni, 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
Alfa Laval energy retrofit & optimisation in Mobeni
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a macadamia processing site in Mobeni?
Mobeni sits on the N2 and M4, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Mobeni Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency energy retrofit & optimisation 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 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?
Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with energy retrofit & optimisation performed against Plant-wide kWh reduction of 15–35%. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
