FAQ
Bitzer screw compressor service in Cornubia
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a wineries & wine cellars site in Cornubia?
Cornubia sits on the N2 and M41, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Cornubia Industrial and Business Estate sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency screw compressor service runs 24/7 because fermentation temperature spikes strip aroma compounds.

What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
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 SANS 10147 documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
