Local context

Working in Prospecton

We service Prospecton Industrial, Durban Container Terminal approach and the surrounding blocks of Prospecton, Durban, with access off the N2 and M4. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

Blast freezing at landing peaks plus ice plant duty Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture

FAQ

Evapco ice plant installation in Prospecton

How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Prospecton?

Prospecton sits on the N2 and M4, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Prospecton Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency ice plant installation runs 24/7 because slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.

Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?

Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) 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 ice plant 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 ice plant installation performed against −8 °C to −20 °C evaporating. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
