FAQ
Alfa Laval hydrocooler installation in Bethlehem Industrial
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Bethlehem Industrial?
Bethlehem Industrial sits on the N5 and R26, so our Bethlehem dispatch reaches most Bethlehem 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
