Vector Peninsula uses i-Smelt

Vector Peninsula uses i-Smelt

It’s a common phenomenon. All cold stores owners have encountered this issue. Ice melt sales increase during the Cape winter and the Highveld summer being their respective rainy seasons.  I-Smelt can be used successfully to remove ice from both freezer doorways and inside freezer rooms.   I-Smelt only deals with the symptom of a far bigger and more costly problem, namely moisture getting into freezer stores. While some moisture will end up as ice in the doorways, even more will build up on the evaporator fins making the refrigeration system inefficient and requiring multiple expensive defrosts. Here, fitting high speed doors and/or dehumidifiers can be a remarkably cost effective decision.     On the other hand Gregory Rodriques, pictured left, now uses I-Smelt to control ice in his evaporator drip trays. Gregory has been a foundation of the Cape’s refrigeration industry for almost 50 years.  He is the Maintenance Technician at Vector Peninsula and can be contacted on 021 9597000           Beat Ice build-up in cold stores by purchasing I-Smelt NOW: [gravityform id=”12″ title=”true” description=”true”]

Motor repairs in Johannesburg

Motor repairs in Johannesburg

Motor repairs in Johannesburg – Barpro’s Johannesburg branch are happy to quote on repairs to Storax motor gearboxes and pinions. Barpro clients now have the option of getting motor gearboxes repaired with a warranty at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Since starting the programme last September, almost 30 motor gear boxes have been successfully overhauled.   Upon receipt, a proper strip and quote is done. The scope of repair is then communicated to the client for approval. When the unit is uneconomical to repair, it gets sent back to the client. A typical scope of repair can include the following components:           Stator           Pinion           Brake rectifier           Mechanical seal           Gaskets           Gearbox casing           Gearbox output shaft           Motor / gearbox adapter ring   On receiving client approval, the motor is repaired and sprayed to the original colour. Repaired motors are as ‘good as new’. A comprehensive track and trace system has also been introduced.   Our turnaround time is under a week and you can have your mobiles running in no time. Of course it is always good practice to have a spare motor at hand.  At a 60 – 75 % saving in cost clients should consider sending any broken motors for repair. Complete the below form and our offices will contact you to make the arrangements. [gravityform id=”7″ title=”true” description=”true”]
