Local context
Working in Waltloo
We service Waltloo Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Waltloo, Pretoria, with access off the N4 and R104. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.

FAQ
Evapco ice plant installation in Waltloo
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Waltloo?
Waltloo sits on the N4 and R104, so our Pretoria dispatch reaches most Waltloo 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
