FAQ

Alfa Laval hydrocooler installation in Coega

How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Coega?

Coega sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Coega SEZ sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency hydrocooler installation runs 24/7 because slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.

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?

Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with hydrocooler installation performed against +0.5 °C to +2 °C water temperature. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
