Centurion kitchen support from our Pretoria base
Centurion is one of our regular service areas, and we cover it from our base in Silverton, Pretoria. That keeps travel time reasonable for site visits, deliveries and breakdown callouts, whether you are near Highveld, Die Hoewes, Lyttelton, Irene or the business parks around the N1 and R55 routes.
We have been working from Pretoria since 2011, and the Centurion market has always needed a mix of fast food equipment, school kitchen gear and light hospitality appliances. Some sites need a single fryer or toaster, while others need a full line-up for prep, hot holding and serving. We handle both new supply and used equipment, and we can quote from a simple list of items or after a site check.
What Centurion clients usually ask us for
Centurion has a strong mix of office parks, schools, guest facilities and busy takeaway counters, so the equipment requests are quite practical. A school may need breakfast equipment and bulk heating gear. An office canteens often need a microwave, toaster and mixer set-up. Takeaways around the main routes usually ask for fryers, holding counters and backup stock for busy lunch trade.
Because power interruptions and load-shedding still affect kitchen planning, we also help clients choose equipment that suits their daily rhythm. That may mean planning smaller batch cooking, checking electrical load before install, or adjusting where items sit so staff can move safely when the kitchen is full.

- Takeaways, cafés and small hospitality sites
- Conference venues and function rooms
Quotes, site assessments and fit for purpose advice
We do equipment quotes for Centurion sites by email, and for larger kitchens we can arrange a site assessment first. That helps us check space, ventilation, power supply and the route equipment will follow into the kitchen. It also helps avoid surprises when a fryer is too large for the counter or when a mixer needs a more suitable stand position.
Our quotes can cover one item or a full kitchen list. If you are replacing old units we can include removal, positioning and handover training. For schools and offices, that often means making sure staff know basic operation, cleaning and daily checks so the equipment is used correctly from the first day.
- New equipment quotations
- Used equipment quotations
- Kitchen layout checks before purchase
- Handover training after installation
Delivery and installation in busy Centurion sites
Centurion properties can be tricky for delivery because of security access, parking controls and tight service yards. We plan around that. Our team handles delivery and positioning, and where needed we also do installation so the equipment lands in the right place and is ready for use. If the site has stairs, narrow prep rooms or shared loading areas, we factor that in before the truck leaves Pretoria.
Kagiso Molefe manages installation work, and Sibusiso Dlamini looks after service coordination, so larger jobs stay organised from delivery through to testing. For kitchens that are being reconfigured, we can move equipment around to suit a better workflow, this is often useful in older premises where the counter line no longer matches the way staff work.
Servicing and repairs when the kitchen cannot wait
When equipment stops working, time matters. We provide preventive servicing and breakdown repairs for Centurion clients who need reliable follow-up, not just a sales handover. A fryer that trips, a microwave that stops heating or a mixer with worn parts can slow a whole service line, especially during school rushes or lunch trade.
Our workshop in Silverton supports refurbishment and component checks, and Tshepo Mokoena supervises that side of the work. If a unit can be repaired properly, we will advise on that. If replacement makes more sense, we will say so plainly. We also support clients dealing with coastal humidity issues if their equipment has been moved from elsewhere, because rust and corrosion can spread quickly once care is neglected.

Centurion ordering made simple by email
Most Centurion orders start with an email to quotes@afchain.co.za. Send a list of what you need, the type of site and any size limits or power details you already have. If you are unsure, Nadia Petersen can help with quotes and procurement and Annelie van Wyk can assist with sales queries. That makes it easier to match the right machine to the kitchen before anything is ordered.
We serve Centurion alongside Pretoria Central, Midrand, Kempton Park, Boksburg and Randburg, so we are used to balancing different site needs across Gauteng. Whether you are fitting out a small takeaway or replacing equipment in a school feeding kitchen, we aim to keep the process practical and straightforward.
