Ice Machine Servicing in Benoni
Ice Machine Servicing in Benoni, East Rand. Full service including descale, sanitise, refrigeration checks and output verification.
A service is a strip, descale, sanitise and functional test: water circuit and evaporator descaled, chute and bin sanitised, condenser cleaned, controls checked and output measured against the rating so the record shows real capacity rather than an assumption.
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.
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.
