Ice Machine Sanitising & Hygiene in Modderfontein
Ice Machine Sanitising & Hygiene in Modderfontein, 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.
Water in this part of Gauteng is moderately hard, so scale on evaporator plates, spray bars and float valves is the single most common reason output drifts below the plate rating. 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.
