Local context
Working in Alrode South
We service Alrode South Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Alrode South, Alberton, with access off the R59 and N3. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.

FAQ
Alfa Laval hydrocooler installation in Alrode South
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Alrode South?
Alrode South sits on the R59 and N3, so our Alberton dispatch reaches most Alrode South Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency hydrocooler installation runs 24/7 because chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line.
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 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 HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Dairy Processing Plants run at +2 °C to +4 °C at 80–85% RH, with hydrocooler installation performed against +0.5 °C to +2 °C water temperature. Chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line
