Ice Machines in Woodstock

Ice machines in Woodstock fail for two reasons — scale and heat — and Converted warehouses, creative studios produces plenty of both. Near Old Biscuit Mill, most machines are boxed into bar joinery with poor airflow, so we correct ventilation and water treatment at the same time as the descale. We keep Woodstock bar and kitchen ice plant on the same six-monthly service route as Observatory, and stock the common spares on the van.

Woodstock is our commercial workhorse. Warehouse conversions along Albert Road put restaurants, breweries, roasteries and open-plan studios into buildings with steel roofs, no insulation and enormous volumes — spaces that were never designed to hold a temperature. Add a food scene that runs on cold rooms, ice machines and blast chillers, and Woodstock generates more refrigeration call-outs than anywhere else we cover. Being closer to the harbour, humidity here also makes freezer icing a recurring problem.

Ice machines fail for two reasons in Cape Town: scale and heat. Cramped bar positions starve the condenser of air, and untreated water furs up the evaporator plate. We install with proper water treatment and ventilation, and we descale and rebuild machines that have been neglected.
