FAQ
Alfa Laval process chiller maintenance in Estoire
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a craft breweries site in Estoire?
Estoire sits on the N1 and N8, so our Bloemfontein dispatch reaches most Estoire Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency process chiller maintenance runs 24/7 because a stalled crash cool ruins a fermentation batch.
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/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 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 SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Craft Breweries run at −4 °C to +12 °C at 60–70% RH, with process chiller maintenance performed against −20 °C to +15 °C process supply. A stalled crash cool ruins a fermentation batch
