Ice Machine Maintenance Contracts in Oakdene Ext

Ice Machine Maintenance Contracts in Oakdene Ext, 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 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. 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.
