Ice Machine Output Audit in Oakdene
Ice Machine Output Audit in Oakdene, 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 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.
