Flake plant fails mechanically more often than refrigeration-wise: water seals, bearings and gearboxes are the parts that decide machine life. On flake ice machines in Modderfontein we see this fault regularly, usually alongside overdue descaling.

Ice Machine Maintenance Contracts normally resolves it. Standard visits are two to four hours per machine on a fixed schedule.

Sometimes — where the fault is a water-side problem the machine can often be run on reduced output until parts arrive. Where a compressor or leak is involved we advise buying in bagged ice while the repair is completed.
