Ice Machine Output Audit in Atholl Ext
Ice Machine Output Audit in Atholl Ext, Johannesburg. Measured capacity audit against site peak demand.
An output audit measures what the plant actually makes over 24 hours and compares it against peak demand, which usually settles the argument over whether the machine is faulty or simply undersized for the operation.
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. Call-outs are run from the central Johannesburg base, which keeps attendance windows short for kitchens in the northern and central suburbs.
Filtration sized on measured hardness and throughput is the cheapest protection available for an ice machine's water circuit and pump. 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.
