FAQ
Bitzer process chiller maintenance in Bela-Bela Industrial
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a macadamia processing site in Bela-Bela Industrial?
Bela-Bela Industrial sits on the N1 and R516, so our Bela-Bela dispatch reaches most Bela-Bela Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency process chiller maintenance runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

Yes — Genuine Bitzer valve plates, gasket sets, oil pumps and OLC-D1 protection modules. Bitzer (Germany) 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 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?
Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with process chiller maintenance performed against −20 °C to +15 °C process supply. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
