FAQ
Bitzer refrigerant leak detection in Witfield
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a poultry processing abattoirs site in Witfield?
Witfield sits on the N12 and R21, so our Boksburg dispatch reaches most Witfield Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency refrigerant leak detection runs 24/7 because chill chain break above 4 °c triggers a batch hold.
Do you stock OEM components for Bitzer systems?
Yes — Genuine Bitzer valve plates, gasket sets, oil pumps and OLC-D1 protection modules. Bitzer (Germany) equipment on R404A/R744/R717 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?
Poultry Processing Abattoirs run at −35 °C blast to +2 °C chill at 85–90% RH, with refrigerant leak detection performed against System-dependent, tested to design pressure. Chill chain break above 4 °C triggers a batch hold
