CLIENTS WE’VE WORKED WITH

The project was completed on time and met all performance expectations, thanks to Johan’s dedication and thorough approach. His efforts were key to the successful conclusion of this project.

Johan Smit has completed a number of projects… I can confirm that he has the knowledge and experience required for the successful selection, installation, commissioning and maintenance of VSDs.

SFB manufactured three Orbit Filters for oil purification on frying lines… The filters have greatly reduced the oil consumption on both frying lines by filtering residue from the oil during the 18 hour per day frying operation. All projects have been completed on time and the expected results were achieved.

[Johan Smit] was a valuable asset regarding his input and assistance in the design of Pineapple and Canning plants. He also did good work on capacity and other operational calculations for plants and has exceptional experience on thermal process design and general food processing. We will gladly recommend his services.

SFB Engineers has proven to be knowledgeable about retort sterilising.

SFB Engineers designed a Retort/Autoclave system for an ultra-high temperature oxidation process for honeybush. The retort plus a small boiler was installed by SFB Engineers. A good collaboration and working relationship exist between SFB Engineers and the ARC honeybush team.
