FAQ

Alfa Laval glycol chiller installation in Markman

How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a macadamia processing site in Markman?

Markman sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Markman Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency glycol chiller installation runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

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 R404A/R134a 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 glycol chiller installation 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?

Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with glycol chiller installation performed against −8 °C to +4 °C glycol supply. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
