About Us

We are a black owned Level 1 BBBEE manufacturing company based in Gauteng that produces oxygen, nitrogen, dry ice and gas cylinders. Drupes is a division of Fidelity Gas Systems (Pty) Ltd, a medium sized company that distributes LPG and manufactures several gas products.


Fidelity Gas Systems

Fidelity Gas Systems was founded in 2012 as a distributor of LPG based in Springs, Ekurhuleni. The company has grown from strength to strength over the years whilst increasing its range of products and services. In 2018 the company formalized its expansion and diversification drive by acquiring Drupes Pty Ltd, a company that operates in the manufacturing industry.

Products

Dry Ice

Dry ice is manufactured by cooling liquid carbon dioxide by applying atmospheric pressure which converts it into a gas state. This causes the temperature to drop sharply which freezes the gas into ‘snow’ Some of the major uses of Dry Ice are:

  • Non-cyclic refrigeration
  • Plumbing
  • Pest Control
  • Blast Cleaning
  • Chemotherapy
  • Fog Visual Effect
  • Welding

Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice blasting is a safe and effective way to clean both machinery and surfaces. Dry ice pellets are propelled at high speeds in a pressurised air stream which makes contact with the target surface and causes thermal shocks that break up the bond between the dirt and surface.

Industrial Oxygen :
We manufacture oxygen via fractional distillation of air by cryogenic air separation. Amongst other functions, oxygen is widely used for:

  • Steel manufacturing
  • welding
  • scarfing
  • hardening metal
  • cleaning metal
  • melting metal
  • bleaching and oxidising in the pulp and paper industry
  • water treatment plants

Nitrogen

We manufacture nitrogen through fractional distillation as well. Amongst other uses of nitrogen are the following.

  • Packaging in the food industry
  • Manufacture of transistors, circuits and diodes.
  • Anaesthetic in surgery
  • Manufacturing steel to prevent oxidation
  • Welding and metalworking to prevent oxides and waste compound formation.
  • Light bulb manufacturing.
  • Propellant in jet fuel and professional motor racing.
