Ice Machine Maintenance Contracts in Greenstone

Ice Machine Maintenance Contracts in Greenstone, East Rand. Planned maintenance with scheduled descaling, sanitising and filter changes.

Planned maintenance is priced on measured water hardness, daily run hours and how critical the ice is to the operation. Restaurants and bars typically want quarterly attendance; healthcare, laboratory and food-processing plant usually monthly or six-weekly with documented hygiene records.

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.

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. 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.
