how often should my ice machine be cleaned?
Ice machine cleaning is governed by Food Law 2009 Chapter 4 part 602.11 section (E) item (4a and b), which states that the machines must be cleaned “at a frequency specified by the manufacturer,” which in most instances ranges from two to four times per year, or “at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil or mold.”
- Minimum of twice per year is what most of the manufacturers suggest. However quarterly is what we recommend from a food safety perspective. If your ice machine is in a pizza shop or next to a fryer or baking mixer you might require a more frequent cleaning schedule.
How do you clean machines?
- The machine will be taken apart all serviceable parts will be cleaned descaled and sanitized.
- see our service section for a detailed list of items we clean.
why choose your service over a standard refrigeration service?
-
Commercial refrigeration technicians are often dispatched to work on commercial ice machines, which seems like a great choice. Commercial refrigeration does not operate robotically, such as with an ice machine and commercial refrigeration technicians often become disoriented trying to spot equipment issues without first understanding the performance data charts and sequence of operation. Secondarily the components used in the ice machine are unique to the ice machine.
