Working in Montague Gardens
We service Montague Gardens Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Montague Gardens, Cape Town, with access off the N1 and M5. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Alfa Laval hydrocooler installation in Montague Gardens
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Montague Gardens?
Montague Gardens sits on the N1 and M5, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Montague Gardens Industrial 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
