Ice Machine Relocation in Melville

Ice Machine Relocation in Melville, Johannesburg. 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 runs from single undercounter bar machines through to modular hotel plant and flake counters, so the first job is establishing exactly what is installed and how hard it is worked. Call-outs are run from the central Johannesburg base, which keeps attendance windows short for kitchens in the northern and central suburbs.

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.
