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?
Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with process chiller maintenance performed against −20 °C to +15 °C process supply. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
