Ice Machine Compressor Replacement in Bedfordview
Ice Machine Compressor Replacement in Bedfordview, East Rand. Sealed-system compressor replacement with correct recharge.
Compressor replacement is done only after the failure is proven electrically and mechanically, and after the cause — restricted condenser, low charge, short cycling or a failed harvest valve — has been identified, otherwise the new compressor follows the old one.
The installed base here runs from single undercounter bar machines through to modular hotel plant and flake counters, so the first job is establishing exactly what is installed and how hard it is worked. Ekurhuleni visits are grouped by area so restaurant and factory ice plant can be attended on the same run.
Water in this part of Gauteng is moderately hard, so scale on evaporator plates, spray bars and float valves is the single most common reason output drifts below the plate rating. Peak demand normally lands in a two-hour service window, so storage volume matters as much as production per 24 hours.
