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.

FAQ
Danfoss plc & controller programming in Prospecton
How fast can a technician service Danfoss equipment at a airfreight perishable handling 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 plc & controller programming runs 24/7 because ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift.
Do you stock OEM components for Danfoss systems?
Yes — Danfoss ETS/TES valve bodies, AKS 32R transmitters and EKC 202 controllers. Danfoss (Denmark) equipment on R134a/R744/R449A 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 plc & controller programming 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 IATA PCR documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Airfreight Perishable Handling run at +2 °C to +8 °C at 85–90% RH, with plc & controller programming performed against Full plant control range. Ramp exposure breaks the chain before uplift
