Heating, energy, refrigeration, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HERVAC) are a fundamental component of the wholesale, distribution, logistics and supply chain industries. When storing and transporting food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and chemicals it is essential to maintain specific temperatures to prevent financial losses associated with product spoilage and safety risks.
HERVAC systems ensure cold chain integrity from warehouse to customer, especially in food and beverage distribution, vaccine and pharmaceutical supply chains. Even outside the cold chain, climate control protects goods like electronics, paper, textiles and certain chemicals from humidity and temperature changes, and help keep workers comfortable.
The South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (SAIRAC) will host FRIGAIR 2025 during 4-6 June 2025 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand. The event will profile approximately 150 leading HERVAC companies that play a vital role in the supply chain sector, showcasing the latest products, technologies and developments in integrated HERVAC systems for warehousing, distribution and logistics.
For instance, Barpro Storage SA will launch several practical, innovation-driven products at FRIGAIR 2025, designed specifically for the cold storage and warehousing industries. The company will display the new Forklift Brush Attachment, I-Smelt solution, DELF freezer wear, Wooden Bumpers, Pallet Support Beams, and Rack Safety Inspection tools. These offerings are designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and extend equipment lifespan.
Danfoss will present a lineup of innovative HVAC and refrigeration solutions emphasising the company’s commitment to accelerating the green transition across the cold chain and building environments. Visitors to the Danfoss stand will see the debut of the NeoCharge, designed to significantly reduce energy consumption in refrigerated warehouses and storage facilities, NeoCharge represents a major step forward in energy efficiency for large-scale cooling applications. For the food service market, Danfoss will highlight a wide range of solutions approved for low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) and natural refrigerant applications. These include cold room optimisation tools such as Optyma Control, and VLT Refrigeration Drive FC 103, IoT (Internet of Things) and connectivity innovations that offer improved performance monitoring and control.
Eazy Costing, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions for inventory, cost management, and field service operations, will showcase its easy-to-use cost management software for the HERVAC industry. The company’s team will be on hand to demonstrate how the Eazy Costing software simplifies stock tracking, streamlines job costing, and empowers field teams with real-time data helping businesses improve profitability and customer service.
Logistics Systems Engineering (LSE) is excited to launch the GEN 9 Pallet Shuttle, and the Mobile Racking System at FRIGAIR 2025. Designed for high-density storage and cold chain efficiency, LSE’s GEN 9 Pallet Shuttle enhances throughput, reduces labour costs, and improves energy usage. Both new products are engineered for high-density, energy-efficient storage making them perfect for cold chain environments.
