Precision-engineered heat exchange equipment designed to meet the demanding requirements of South African industrial and commercial applications.


South Africa is the continent's most industrialised economy, driving robust and growing demand for high-performance refrigeration and heat exchange equipment across multiple sectors.
South Africa's world-leading mining sector — covering gold, platinum, coal and chrome — requires heavy-duty condensers and evaporators for underground cooling systems, ore processing plants and compressor stations operating in extreme thermal conditions.
From cold-chain logistics in Johannesburg to fish processing facilities in Cape Town and fruit export operations in the Western Cape, South Africa's food industry relies on precision evaporators to maintain strict temperature control and product freshness.
Rapid urbanisation in Gauteng and the Western Cape, combined with the expansion of data centre infrastructure across Johannesburg and Cape Town, is fuelling strong demand for efficient water-cooled condensers and chiller systems.
South Africa is a major exporter of citrus, wine and stone fruit. Reliable evaporator units are critical for post-harvest cold storage and refrigerated transport, ensuring export-quality produce reaches international markets in peak condition.
Eskom's power stations and Sasol's petrochemical complexes depend on robust shell-and-tube heat exchangers for process cooling and steam condensation, where reliability and pressure vessel compliance are non-negotiable.
South Africa's growing pharmaceutical manufacturing base — particularly in the Gauteng corridor — demands GMP-compliant, stainless steel evaporators and condensers for cleanroom cooling and process temperature management.
The South African refrigeration and heat exchange sector is undergoing significant transformation, driven by energy policy, environmental regulation and technological advancement.
In response to South Africa's ongoing electricity supply challenges and the SANS 10400-XA energy efficiency standard, industrial buyers are actively seeking high-efficiency condensers and evaporators that reduce kWh consumption and lower operational costs — especially during load-shedding periods.
South Africa's ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol is accelerating the phase-down of HFCs. This is driving demand for evaporators and condensers compatible with next-generation low-GWP refrigerants such as R-32, R-454B and natural refrigerants like CO₂ and ammonia.
South Africa's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) framework and localisation policies are encouraging industrial buyers to partner with international suppliers who can support local distributors and service networks, offering competitive pricing with reliable after-sales support.
South African facility managers are increasingly adopting IoT-enabled monitoring for refrigeration plant. Modern condensers and evaporators are being specified with sensor-ready designs to integrate with building management systems (BMS) for real-time performance tracking and predictive maintenance.
Water scarcity — particularly in the Western Cape and Northern Cape — is driving preference for water-efficient or dry-cooled condenser designs. Air-cooled and hybrid condensers are gaining traction in water-stressed regions of South Africa.
With South Africa's rapid solar PV rollout under the REIPPPP programme, industrial facilities are pairing renewable energy with high-efficiency refrigeration plant, requiring heat exchangers optimised for variable-load operation and off-grid or hybrid power environments.

From a Wuhan start-up to a globally trusted heat exchanger manufacturer — our journey reflects two decades of dedication, innovation and partnership.
QiaoXin was established in Wuhan. As a start-up enterprise, the company — like many others — faced challenges in product promotion, financial management, and operational efficiency. Through professional expertise and strong perseverance, QiaoXin successfully overcame these initial obstacles and achieved steady growth.
After only one year of operation, QiaoXin earned the trust of one of China's most well-known enterprises, Midea. This partnership marked a significant milestone, and the two companies have maintained continuous cooperation ever since.
Following four years of rapid development, QiaoXin had built a strong reputation within the domestic market. To support business expansion, the company relocated to its current facility and invested in advanced precision machinery and specialised equipment for heat exchanger manufacturing, further enhancing production capability and product quality.
QiaoXin began supplying products to other internationally recognised corporations, including Dunham-Bush and Carrier. Our products gained broad recognition not only domestically but also overseas, and QiaoXin was increasingly regarded by manufacturers as a reliable and resilient supplier.
QiaoXin officially established its export business, marking a new phase of international development. Since then, our products have been exported to more than 20 countries and regions, including South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, India and markets across Africa including South Africa.
While we are grateful for the achievements made to date, QiaoXin remains committed to continuous improvement and long-term partnership development. We will consistently uphold our core principles by delivering high-quality products at competitive prices. We look forward to the opportunity to serve South African clients and to building a successful and enduring partnership together.
