Ice Machine Relocation in Morningside
Ice Machine Relocation in Morningside, 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.
Filtration sized on measured hardness and throughput is the cheapest protection available for an ice machine's water circuit and pump. 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.
