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 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 plc & controller programming performed against Full plant control range. Slow pull-down causes SO₂ pad burn and berry shatter
