GEA industrial refrigeration, ammonia plant and high-temperature heat pumps.
Overview
GEA plant is industrial-grade — ammonia and CO₂ refrigeration packages, Grasso screw compressors and high-temperature heat pumps used in food, dairy, brewing and pharmaceutical production. We service GEA industrial plant with technicians who understand ammonia safety and statutory requirements.

Troubleshooting
Tap a fault for likely causes, what to check on site, and when to call us out.
Likely causes
What to check
Evacuate and ventilate first, then verify with a calibrated detector — never rely on smell.
When to call us
Ammonia leaks are a statutory safety event — call us immediately and do not re-enter until the plant is cleared.
Likely causes
What to check
Log oil temperature in and out of the cooler along with discharge temperature.
When to call us
Call us before a shutdown trip — sustained high discharge degrades oil and bearings fast.
Likely causes
What to check
Trend source and delivery temperatures against the production schedule.
When to call us
Book a process review — industrial heat pump underperformance is usually an integration problem, not a machine fault.
Parts & Spares
GEA and Grasso have industrial support in South Africa. Seals, valves and oil are typically same-week; screw rotor sets and reman compressor blocks are imported at 6 – 12 weeks. We plan ammonia plant overhauls around production shutdowns.

FAQ
A routine GEA service starts around R4 500 – R9 500 per unit depending on tonnage, compressor count and site access. Repairs are quoted separately after diagnosis. Send us the nameplate photos through the quote form and we come back with a fixed price within 24 hours.
Yes — we source OEM parts through South African distributors wherever the part is still catalogued. Where a component is obsolete or on long lead time, we offer a tested equivalent and tell you up front which route we are taking and what it does to the warranty.
Absolutely. Most of the GEA plant we look after in Gauteng is well past its warranty period. We service, rebuild and re-commission older units rather than pushing you straight into a replacement.
We work with the unit controller and integrate it with BACnet, Modbus or your existing BMS head-end. That includes alarm mapping, trending, setpoint scheduling and getting fault history off the panel so we can see what actually tripped.
Same-day across Johannesburg, Pretoria, the East Rand, West Rand and the Vaal Triangle. Mpumalanga, North West, Free State and Limpopo are typically next-day, sooner for critical plant.
Yes — quarterly or bi-annual planned maintenance with logged readings, refrigerant records, water-side checks and a written condition report each visit. Contract clients get priority breakdown response.
