Ice Machine Relocation in Midstream Ridge

Ice Machine Relocation in Midstream Ridge, Midrand & Centurion. 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 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. Midrand and Centurion sit on the route between the Johannesburg and Pretoria runs, so attendance windows here are usually the shortest available.

Filtration sized on measured hardness and throughput is the cheapest protection available for an ice machine's water circuit and pump. Peak demand normally lands in a two-hour service window, so storage volume matters as much as production per 24 hours.
