Local context
Working in Epping Industria
We service Epping Industria 1 and 2, Epping Fresh Produce Market and the surrounding blocks of Epping Industria, Cape Town, with access off the N2 and N7 and M7. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

How fast can a technician service Güntner equipment at a table grape packhouses site in Epping Industria?
Epping Industria sits on the N2 and N7 and M7, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Epping Industria 1 and 2 sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency hydrocooler installation runs 24/7 because slow pull-down causes so₂ pad burn and berry shatter.

Yes — Güntner EC fan modules, defrost heaters and coil blocks. Güntner (Germany) equipment on R404A/R717 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 PPECB documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Table Grape Packhouses run at −0.5 °C to +1 °C at 90–95% RH, with hydrocooler installation performed against +0.5 °C to +2 °C water temperature. Slow pull-down causes SO₂ pad burn and berry shatter
