Industry context
Food Factories
Food Factories cannot absorb a long outage. Process-scale refrigeration underpinning production lines. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.
Cape Town coverage
Mouille Point · Atlantic Seaboard
Our Atlantic Seaboard technicians treat Mouille Point as core coverage rather than an outlying callout. From first call to cold cabinet, the Mouille Point leg of the job is the shortest part.
Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many thermostat fault callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the walk-in cooler under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so thermostat fault is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in cooler to catch wear before it becomes thermostat fault.
