Working in Philippi

FAQ

Frascold screw compressor service in Philippi

How fast can a technician service Frascold equipment at a cheese maturation rooms site in Philippi?

Philippi sits on the N2 and R300, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Philippi Horticultural Area sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency screw compressor service runs 24/7 because humidity swings crack rinds and stall ripening.

Every screw compressor service 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.

Cheese Maturation Rooms run at +8 °C to +14 °C at 80–90% RH, with screw compressor service performed against −45 °C to +5 °C evaporating. Humidity swings crack rinds and stall ripening
