Local context
Working in Rustivia
We service Rustivia Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Rustivia, Germiston, with access off the N3 and R24. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.

FAQ
Alfa Laval evaporator coil descaling in Rustivia
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Rustivia?
Rustivia sits on the N3 and R24, so our Germiston dispatch reaches most Rustivia Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency evaporator coil descaling runs 24/7 because slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.
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 R717/R744/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 evaporator coil descaling 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?
Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with evaporator coil descaling performed against −30 °C to +8 °C air-off. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
