What keeps Welkom cold
Welkom was built for the Free State goldfields, and its refrigeration needs still follow the mines. Mine kitchens, hostels and canteens run cold rooms and big freezers for large numbers of workers, and contractors serving the shafts around Welkom, Odendaalsrus and Virginia keep chillers and water coolers going. In Thabong and the older suburbs, households rely on fridges and chest freezers bought for bulk meat, and spaza shops and taverns keep bottle coolers cold through hot, dusty summers. Dust from mine dumps and dry veld clogs condenser coils, and winters bring frost. Households, spaza owners, mine contractors, butcheries and farmers on the surrounding maize lands ask most.
Typical chest freezers requests in the area come from:
- Households: a 200 L freezer in the garage for monthly bulk meat buying
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a lockable freezer for ice, frozen chicken and ice lollies at a spaza
- Factories and cold stores: freezers for staff canteens and sample storage on site
