Local context
Working in Cato Ridge
We service Cato Ridge Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Cato Ridge, Cato Ridge, with access off the N3 and R103. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

FAQ
Bock refrigerant leak detection in Cato Ridge
How fast can a technician service Bock equipment at a dairy processing plants site in Cato Ridge?
Cato Ridge sits on the N3 and R103, so our Cato Ridge dispatch reaches most Cato Ridge Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency refrigerant leak detection runs 24/7 because chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line.
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 refrigerant leak detection 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?
Dairy Processing Plants run at +2 °C to +4 °C at 80–85% RH, with refrigerant leak detection performed against System-dependent, tested to design pressure. Chilled-water temperature rise stalls the pasteurising line
