Local context
Working in Letsitele
We service Letsitele packhouse precinct and the surrounding blocks of Letsitele, Tzaneen, with access off the R71 and R529. Long, hot lowveld summers regularly exceed 36 °C, so high-ambient head pressure control and shaded plant rooms are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Güntner forced-air pre-cooling systems in Letsitele
How fast can a technician service Güntner equipment at a potato & onion storage site in Letsitele?
Letsitele sits on the R71 and R529, so our Tzaneen dispatch reaches most Letsitele packhouse precinct sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency forced-air pre-cooling systems runs 24/7 because condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack.
Do you stock OEM components for Güntner systems?
Yes — Güntner EC fan modules, defrost heaters and coil blocks. Güntner (Germany) equipment on R404A/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 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 GLOBALG.A.P. documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Potato & Onion Storage run at +4 °C to +10 °C at 85–95% RH, with forced-air pre-cooling systems performed against −1 °C to +4 °C air-off at high airflow. Condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack
