Ice Machine Output Audit in Brakpan

Ice Machine Output Audit in Brakpan, East Rand. 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 installed base here is production duty — flake, tube and block plant tied into food processing, cold rooms and process cooling — which means three-phase machines and planned rather than reactive maintenance. 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.
