FAQ

Evapco ripening room installation in Rocky Drift

How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a macadamia processing site in Rocky Drift?

Rocky Drift sits on the N4 and R40, so our White River dispatch reaches most Rocky Drift Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency ripening room installation runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.

Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?

Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on R404A 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 ripening room installation 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 ripening room installation performed against +13 °C to +20 °C pulp temperature. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
