FAQ
Bitzer transport refrigeration service in Estoire
How fast can a technician service Bitzer equipment at a potato & onion storage site in Estoire?
Estoire sits on the N1 and N8, so our Bloemfontein dispatch reaches most Estoire Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency transport refrigeration service runs 24/7 because condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack.
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/R717 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 GLOBALG.A.P. documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Potato & Onion Storage run at +4 °C to +10 °C at 85–95% RH, with transport refrigeration service performed against −25 °C to +8 °C body temperature. Condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack
