Ice Machine Relocation in Randfontein

Ice Machine Relocation in Randfontein, West 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 production duty — flake, tube and block plant tied into food processing, cold rooms and process cooling — which means three-phase machines and planned rather than reactive maintenance. West Rand attendance carries fuller van stock — inlet valves, pumps, thermostats and fan motors — because parts runs back to Johannesburg cost half a day.

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.

The installed base here is production duty — flake, tube and block plant tied into food processing, cold rooms and process cooling — which means three-phase machines and planned rather than reactive maintenance.

Which brands are covered?

We service all common commercial makes, including Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Brema, and can source the usual wear parts — inlet valves, float valves, pumps, spray bars, thermostats and fan motors.

What is included in the price?

The visit covers isolation, drain-down and prep, safe transport and positioning, water, drain and electrical reconnection and a written record of findings. Parts are quoted before fitting unless you have authorised a repair limit.

A related problem is "Flake Machine Auger or Gearbox Failure" — is that covered?

Flake or nugget machine runs but delivers no ice, or jams. That is diagnosed on the same visit, and the fault page for Randfontein sets out the usual causes and how we test for them.
