Ice Machine Relocation in Roodepoort

Ice Machine Relocation in Roodepoort, 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 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. 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. 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.

Which brands are covered?

We service all common commercial makes, including Hubbard, Electrolux Professional, Whirlpool Commercial, KTI-Plersch, 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 Roodepoort sets out the usual causes and how we test for them.
