What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every humidity control 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?
Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with humidity control systems performed against 45–95% RH depending on product. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
