FAQ
Alfa Laval forced-air pre-cooling systems in De Aar Industrial
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in De Aar Industrial?
De Aar Industrial sits on the N10 and N12, so our De Aar dispatch reaches most De Aar Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency forced-air pre-cooling systems 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 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?
Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with forced-air pre-cooling systems performed against −1 °C to +4 °C air-off at high airflow. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
