FAQ
Bitzer pressure vessel inspection in Coega
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Coega?
Coega sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Coega SEZ sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency pressure vessel inspection runs 24/7 because slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.
Do you stock OEM components for Bitzer systems?
Yes — Genuine Bitzer valve plates, gasket sets, oil pumps and OLC-D1 protection modules. Bitzer (Germany) equipment on R404A/R744/R717 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 pressure vessel inspection 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 pressure vessel inspection performed against Design pressure per vessel nameplate. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
