Wierda Valley questions, answered

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 scale really a problem for ice machines here?

Yes, it is the single biggest cause of lost output on this water supply. Scale insulates the evaporator, so the machine runs longer for less ice and eventually pits the plate. Regular descaling is far cheaper than an evaporator replacement.

There is water on the floor under my ice machine, can you find the leak?

We trace it wet rather than guessing: inlet valve weep, split distribution tube, blocked machine drain or a backed-up bin drain all present the same way. The water side is pressure-tested before we recommission.

How urgent is a slow harvest cycle?

Treat it as urgent. A stalling harvest leaves the plate frozen solid, output collapses and the compressor runs against high head pressure, which is how a cheap solenoid fault turns into a compressor replacement.
