Local context

Working in Kelvin

We service Kelvin Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Kelvin, Sandton, with access off the N3 and M1. 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

Carel plc & controller programming in Kelvin

How fast can a technician service Carel equipment at a wineries & wine cellars site in Kelvin?

Kelvin sits on the N3 and M1, so our Sandton dispatch reaches most Kelvin Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency plc & controller programming runs 24/7 because fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds.

Do you stock OEM components for Carel systems?

Yes — Carel EVD Evolution drivers, NTC/ratiometric probes and pGD terminals. Carel (Italy) equipment on R404A/R134a 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 SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.

What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?

Wineries & Wine Cellars run at +8 °C to +16 °C at 70–80% RH, with plc & controller programming performed against Full plant control range. Fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds
