Ice Machine Servicing in Mulbarton

Ice Machine Servicing in Mulbarton, 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 ice plant here is mostly estate clubhouses, guest houses, small restaurants and private bars, so the work is weighted towards undercounter and small modular machines. 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.
