Local context
Working in Selby
We service Selby Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Selby, Johannesburg, with access off the M2 and N17. 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 forced-air pre-cooling systems in Selby
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Selby?
Selby sits on the M2 and N17, so our Johannesburg dispatch reaches most Selby Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency forced-air pre-cooling systems runs 24/7 because chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line.
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 forced-air pre-cooling systems 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 forced-air pre-cooling systems performed against −1 °C to +4 °C air-off at high airflow. Chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line
