Common questions
What size ice machine do I need?
Size on peak daily draw, not average: roughly 0.5 to 1 kg of ice per restaurant cover per day, more for cocktail bars and function venues. We calculate demand on site, then specify machine output plus bin storage and the water treatment your supply needs.
Can you work after trading hours?
Yes. Retail, restaurant and office work is routinely scheduled at night or early morning under a permit-to-work so trading is not interrupted.
Is a compressor replacement guaranteed?
Yes. Replacements are done with a system flush and new drier, and both part and workmanship are warranted, provided the original cause of failure is corrected.
My ice machine runs but makes no ice, is it worth repairing?
Usually yes. The four common causes (water inlet valve, water pump, scaled evaporator and a stalled harvest cycle) are all repairable at a fraction of replacement cost. We quote in writing after the diagnostic and tell you honestly when a machine is past economic repair.
