Established 1988

Refrigeration engineering with a practical bias.

Specialised Cooling Systems was founded in Johannesburg by Siegfried Berger and has spent decades designing and manufacturing refrigeration equipment for demanding operating environments.

Our approach

Design for heat, durability and serviceability.

SCS equipment was developed in a warm climate where rated performance has to hold up under high ambient temperatures. That influenced both the refrigeration design and the decision to keep mechanical systems as straightforward as possible.

Electronic systems are modular so that service components can be exchanged efficiently, reducing machine downtime and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

In addition to the standard range, SCS can discuss changes to materials, finishes and selected capacities where an application requires a customised solution.

Specialised Cooling Systems workshop and refrigeration equipment

Local manufacture

Equipment is hand-built in South Africa with attention to practical field service and component access.

Repair support

SCS provides repair and technical support for its equipment, including troubleshooting and replacement-component guidance.

Custom requirements

Selected machines can be adapted to suit customer material, finish or capacity requirements.
