Klomac cc operates a well equipped manufacturing facility and workshop.

Our workshop manufactures the following equipment in-house:

1.  Flexible connectors conforming to SABS 10298.

Instead of importing these items, they are manufactured in total in Pretoria. Fittings are manufactured by local engineering shops, attached to copper tubing in our workshop and then sent for nickel plating on the inside and outside. Nickel remains the only feasible alternative with Cadmiun, the other approved coating method, banned for use, except in the aeronautical industry.

2.  Chlorine manifold with driplegs or catchpod with or without heater tape

Chlorine manifolds in any configuration are manufactured in-house. The dripleg manifolds are totally manufactured in-house while the ones with the catchpods are built using certified pressure vessels. Imported header valves are used due to the RSA market not having the required products available. All finished manifolds are pressure tested with water and air for leaks before being sprayed on our premises.

3.  Frames for 1 ton chlorine drums

Apart from the wheels on which the drums are positioned the frames are completely manufactured in-house.Two types are made, one with mass sensors for bottles that are in use to provide early warning for management purposes and one on which full and empty bottles are stored.

4.  Lifting beams for 1 ton drums

Apart from the two end hooks and the central lifting hook, the total beam manufacturing is done in-house. After completion the beams are send to a certified laboratory for load testing and certification before painting and delivery.

5.  Control panels for various applications
All control panes are designed and built in house to the highest specifications. Complexity varies from single contact shutoffs for a single pump to complicated systems for automated monitoring and safety shutoff of that closes chlorine bottles in the case of failure.

6.  Mounting panels for chlorinator installations

Klomac has taken a serious look at quality – both in terms of technical integrity and visual appearance – and now offers frame and backboard mounted systems as a standard. Pumps, controllers, injectors, etc. are mounted on a frame with a polyethylene backboard and properly identified with high quality marking stickers.

In the process, installation is done properly in a controlled environment in our workshop before shipping to site. The installation method removes the frustration of mounting on walls that are not always smooth and often result in an installation that is technically and in appearance below standard. Time on site, accommodation cost, etc. is minimised in this way.
