Local context
Working in New Germany
We service New Germany Industrial and the surrounding blocks of New Germany, Pinetown, with access off the N3 and M13. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

FAQ
Bitzer transport refrigeration service in New Germany
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a macadamia processing site in New Germany?
New Germany sits on the N3 and M13, so our Pinetown dispatch reaches most New Germany Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency transport refrigeration service runs 24/7 because moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade.
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/R134a 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 transport refrigeration 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.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Macadamia Processing run at +8 °C to +15 °C at 55–65% RH, with transport refrigeration service performed against −25 °C to +8 °C body temperature. Moisture pickup drives rancidity and kernel downgrade
