Ice Machine Relocation in Kempton Park

Ice Machine Relocation in Kempton Park, East Rand. Safe decommission, move and recommission of ice plant.

Relocations are the point at which siting mistakes get corrected: clearances, ambient, drain fall and water pressure. We isolate, drain, move, reconnect and recommission with the output verified in the new position.

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.

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. Highveld summer ambient is the other half of the picture: an air-cooled machine boxed into joinery loses output on hot afternoons even when the refrigeration circuit is perfect.
