Local context
Working in Paarden Eiland
We service Paarden Eiland Industrial, Cape Town Harbour and the surrounding blocks of Paarden Eiland, Cape Town, with access off the N1 and M5. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Bock refrigerant leak detection in Paarden Eiland
How fast can a technician service Bock equipment at a seafood processing & fisheries site in Paarden Eiland?
Paarden Eiland sits on the N1 and M5, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Paarden Eiland Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency refrigerant leak detection runs 24/7 because slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture.
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?
Seafood Processing & Fisheries run at −40 °C blast to −25 °C hold at 85–95% RH, with refrigerant leak detection performed against System-dependent, tested to design pressure. Slow freezing forms large ice crystals and ruins texture
