CTS was instructed to supply, deliver, install, test and commission laundry equipment for the Mine Complex Change House, Plant Complex Change House and the FPR Change House at the Husab Mine in 2015.

The Husab mine has to process nearly 2 000 overalls and towels on a daily basis. Emphasis was made on equipment that is energy efficient, safe to operate and cost effective to maintain.

Miele equipment fulfills every requirement when it comes to the economical processing of large amounts of laundry. Miele’s tried and tested programs ensure the correct washing process for every type of material. The tumble driers complement the washer extractors and are highly economical, thanks to short running times. Thus you have a perfect solution to process large amounts of laundry, fast, hygienically and economically.

CTS installed washer extractors fitted with water recovery units and heat pump tumble driers. Laundry-care requirements vary significantly according to the customer’s needs. Whichever your requirement, CTS can offer you the ideal solution.

National Botanical Research institute approached CTS to upgrade two of their existing AWS to satellite communication and subsequent installation at Kanovlei in the Tsumkwe Area as well as Koichab Pan close to Lüderitz.

Communication is via Meteosat satellites and based on a “fire and forget” principal which unfortunately does not allow remote maintenance procedures.

The stations form part of the SASSCAL Weathernet and measure all important meteorological parameters.

In early 2017 Stier Vente Chartered Accountant did take the decision to move to renewable energy. A 17kW grid feed system was installed on the roof of the office building to reduce the monthly electricity bill.

A total of 67 260W PV modules and a SMA SunnyTripower 17kW inverter was installed. Remote monitoring allows CTS to advise the client on possible faults and recommended actions to be taken.

A 71kW grid tied (Nampower ) PV system was installed at the Klein-Aus Vista Lodge just outside Aus. Remote Monitoring and Energy meter is included to obtain precise information about own consumption as well as exported power. This aids in future electrical reticulation upgrades and designs.

System Specifications are:

• 240 x 295W Canadian Solar PV modules
•  3 x Fronius Symo 20.0 – 3 Grid Inverter
• Shed roof mounting with structure for IBR roof sheeting
• AC & DC surge and Lightning protection
• Configured for remote monitoring

CTS was awarded the tender in July 2011 for Katima Mulilo’s Hospital laundry. The scope of the work included the supply, manufacture and assembly, delivery to site, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of laundry equipment.

Safety is born of experience. In the field of clinical practice, medical know-how and professional laundry care ensure optimum treatment and care of patients. For this, systematic cleaning, disinfection, drying and sterilization of linen and operating garments are prerequisites for avoiding risk to both patients and staff.

Katima Mulilo’s Hospital has to process over 1 ton of laundry per day. Our high speed washer extractors have a spin factor of 830rpm, greatly reducing tumbling time. With built in soap dispensers, the correct amount of soap is used each time, and the perforated lifting ribs mean more mechanical action and lower water consumption. The high speed washers significantly reduce water and electricity consumption, and still ensure hygienically clean laundry.

Miele offer rotary ironers with roller diameters ranging from 210 to 500 mm. Aluminium heater plates instead of steel guarantee an excellent distribution of heat and considerably reduced heating up times. The foot control ensures that the roller can be easily stopped, eg. for steaming.

A pneumatic lifting device creates a high pressure ironing action for an excellent finish. Katima Mulilo’s Hospital has the largest Miele rotary ironers in Namibia.

CTS was approached by a senior resident of Klein Windhoek to install a grid-tied photovoltaic system with the aim to cut back on the monthly electricity bill. The system included:

• 42x 130W photovoltaic modules and mounting structure
• 1x 6kW grid tied inverter

The system is designed such as to generate an estimated 900kWh per month.
