FAQ
Alfa Laval hydrocooler installation in Wilsonia
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a craft breweries site in Wilsonia?
Wilsonia sits on the N2 and N6, so our East London dispatch reaches most Wilsonia Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency hydrocooler installation runs 24/7 because a stalled crash cool ruins a fermentation batch.
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/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 hydrocooler 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 SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Craft Breweries run at −4 °C to +12 °C at 60–70% RH, with hydrocooler installation performed against +0.5 °C to +2 °C water temperature. A stalled crash cool ruins a fermentation batch
