Local context
Working in Diep River
We service Diep River Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Diep River, Cape Town, with access off the M3 and M5. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Bock gas recharge & recovery in Diep River
How fast can a technician service Bock equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Diep River?
Diep River sits on the M3 and M5, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Diep River Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency gas recharge & recovery runs 24/7 because slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.
Do you stock OEM components for Bock systems?
Yes — Bock shaft seals, suction filters and gasket kits. Bock (Germany) equipment on R404A/R717/R744 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 gas recharge & recovery 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 gas recharge & recovery performed against Charge weight per nameplate. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
