Ice Machine Descaling in Midstream Meadows

Ice Machine Descaling in Midstream Meadows, Midrand & Centurion. Chemical descale of evaporator, sump, pump and water circuit.

Descaling restores harvest release and freeze times on machines where hardness has plated the evaporator and spray bars. We use food-safe descaler, circulate it through the whole water circuit, then neutralise, sanitise and run a discard batch before the machine returns to service.

The ice plant here is mostly estate clubhouses, guest houses, small restaurants and private bars, so the work is weighted towards undercounter and small modular machines. Midrand and Centurion sit on the route between the Johannesburg and Pretoria runs, so attendance windows here are usually the shortest available.

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.
