Local context
Working in Kew
We service Kew Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Kew, Johannesburg, with access off the M1 and N3. 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
Alfa Laval process chiller maintenance in Kew
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a third-party cold storage (3pl) site in Kew?
Kew sits on the M1 and N3, so our Johannesburg dispatch reaches most Kew Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency process chiller maintenance runs 24/7 because a single plant outage puts several clients' stock at risk.
Do you stock OEM components for Alfa Laval systems?
Yes — Alfa Laval plate packs, gaskets and cleaning-in-place chemistry. Alfa Laval (Sweden) equipment on R717/R744/R404A 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 process chiller maintenance 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?
Third-Party Cold Storage (3PL) run at −25 °C to +4 °C at 85–90% RH, with process chiller maintenance performed against −20 °C to +15 °C process supply. A single plant outage puts several clients' stock at risk
