What to know locally in Cape Town
Refrigeration technicians in Cape Town work on blast freezers and fish stores around the harbour and Paarden Eiland, cold stores and ripening rooms near the Epping market, and restaurant walk-ins in the City Bowl and Woodstock before the summer rush. Food businesses keep temperature logs, so ask for a written service report. For events at the Waterfront or wine estates, mobile cold rooms are often hired in from Montague Gardens.
Fridges and refrigeration in Cape Town
Cape Town's refrigeration work stretches from the fishing harbours to the fresh produce trade. Fish processors and freezer stores around the harbour, Hout Bay and Kalk Bay depend on blast freezers and cold rooms, while the Epping market feeds a ring of cold stores, distributors and ripening rooms. Restaurants on Bree Street and along the Atlantic seaboard run walk-ins and under-counter fridges flat out in the summer season. At home, salt air on the seaboard and the False Bay coast corrodes condenser coils and fan motors, and the south-easter pushes dust and sand behind fridges on the Cape Flats. Restaurants, landlords with holiday flats, spaza owners and households ask most.
Typical display fridges requests in the area come from:
- Households: a glass-door drinks fridge for an entertainment area or a home tuck shop
- Restaurants, butcheries and caterers: meat counters for butcheries and cake fridges for bakeries and coffee shops
- Factories and cold stores: coolers for factory canteens and staff tuck shops
