Are Silter spare parts available locally in South Africa?

What is the difference between a steam generator and a steam boiler?

A steam generator is a compact self-contained unit that makes steam for one piece of equipment, which suits a single ironing station or a small operation. A steam boiler is a larger central unit supplying several machines at once, which is what a commercial laundry or a larger dry cleaner with several stations and presses needs.
