Hammond's Ice Machine Maintenance Challenge

Hammond's water quality and high ambient temperatures create specific challenges for commercial ice machines. Mineral scale builds up faster in Louisiana's water, clogging water lines and reducing ice production. Condenser coils accumulate dust and grease quickly in busy kitchen environments, causing the machine to overheat and reduce output. Humidity promotes algae and slime growth in the water system faster than in drier climates.

We recommend twice-yearly professional cleaning and inspection for all Hammond commercial ice machines.

Routine Cleaning Keeps Ice Machines Alive

Hammond water is hard and mineral-rich. Ice machines here scale up fast. A semi-annual descale and sanitation visit doubles the life of most ice machines and keeps the ice clear and odor-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

My ice machine is making smaller cubes than usual. What's wrong?

The most common cause is mineral buildup on the evaporator plate. A descale and cleaning usually restores normal cube size. We can do this as part of a service visit.

How often should I deep-clean my ice machine?

Every 6 months minimum, more often in busy Hammond kitchens or where water quality is hard. NSF recommends following the manufacturer's cleaning schedule, which we will pull and document for your equipment.

How often should a Hammond ice machine be cleaned?

At minimum every six months. High-volume Hammond bars and restaurants usually do quarterly cleanings because of our hard water and humid air.

What is your service area out of the Hammond shop?
