Ice Machine Commissioning in Kempton Park

Ice Machine Commissioning in Kempton Park, East Rand. Documented commissioning with measured output and cube weight.

Commissioning proves the installation: water pressure, ambient, freeze and harvest times, cube weight, output per 24 hours and electrical readings all recorded, so later performance complaints can be measured against a real baseline.

The installed base here is hospitality and retail: bar and restaurant cube machines, hotel modular plant on bins, and flake machines behind fish and meat counters. Ekurhuleni visits are grouped by area so restaurant and factory ice plant can be attended on the same run.

Where a site is on borehole or stored water, hardness and sediment shorten descaling intervals sharply, which is why we take a hardness reading before setting a maintenance schedule. Condenser clearance and kitchen extract have as much effect on daily output as the refrigeration charge, so both are checked before any sealed-system work is quoted.

The installed base here is hospitality and retail: bar and restaurant cube machines, hotel modular plant on bins, and flake machines behind fish and meat counters.

Which brands are covered?

We service all common commercial makes, including Maja, Ziegra, Follett, Wessamat, and can source the usual wear parts — inlet valves, float valves, pumps, spray bars, thermostats and fan motors.

What is included in the price?

The visit covers water pressure and temperature readings, ambient and condenser air checks, freeze and harvest cycle timing and a written record of findings. Parts are quoted before fitting unless you have authorised a repair limit.

A related problem is "Flake Machine Auger or Gearbox Failure" — is that covered?

Flake or nugget machine runs but delivers no ice, or jams. That is diagnosed on the same visit, and the fault page for Kempton Park sets out the usual causes and how we test for them.
