Ice Machine Sanitising & Hygiene in Edenvale

Ice Machine Sanitising & Hygiene in Edenvale, East Rand. Food-safe sanitising of evaporator, chute, bin and dispenser.

Ice is a food product, so the ice-contact path needs documented sanitising: evaporator, chute, deflector, bin liner, scoop holder and drain. Biofilm in the sump and chute is the usual finding behind off-taste ice and failed swabs.

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. Ekurhuleni visits are grouped by area so restaurant and factory ice plant can be attended on the same run.

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.
