Local context
Working in Richards Bay Industrial
We service Richards Bay IDZ, Alton Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Richards Bay Industrial, Richards Bay, with access off the N2 and R34. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

FAQ
Bock pressure vessel inspection in Richards Bay Industrial
How fast can a technician service Bock equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Richards Bay Industrial?
Richards Bay Industrial sits on the N2 and R34, so our Richards Bay dispatch reaches most Richards Bay IDZ 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 Bock systems?
Yes — Bock shaft seals, suction filters and gasket kits. Bock (Germany) equipment on R404A/R717/R744 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
