Crathco in Piedmont

Crathco refrigeration in Piedmont.

Piedmont doesn't have restaurant volume for Crathco the way a commercial strip would, but the caterers who work the hillside estate parties and a handful of homes with elaborate wet bars run frozen drink and beverage dispensers for entertaining. When a barrel stops churning, the first thing we check is the magnetic drive, since the auger inside the bowl couples to the motor through a magnet with no direct shaft between them.

We service Crathco as an independent shop, EPA 608 certified, and every call gets the same $99 diagnostic, credited toward the repair.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Auger stalls on the magnetic drive. A frozen barrel that quits churning has usually lost its magnetic coupling. We check the drive magnet, the gear motor, and the auger for seal drag loading the motor past what the magnet can hold, then replace the coupling.
  • Grinding agitator or pump motor. A bubbler or spray unit that grinds or whines is telling you a bearing is worn. We pull the motor, inspect the bearings and shaft, and rebuild or replace it before the drive seizes.
  • Cold plate not holding temperature. If the barrel pours warm, the refrigeration is falling behind. We clean the condenser, check the R290 charge on sealed systems, and verify the cold plate pulls the barrel down to a safe holding temperature.

FAQ

Crathco in Piedmont questions, answered.

  • Do you service Crathco machines for events in Piedmont?
    Yes, when a caterer or homeowner runs one for a Piedmont event, we service it the same as any commercial location.
  • Our Crathco pours slush too thick to come out. What's wrong?
    Usually the barrel is over-freezing, either a drifted timer or thermostat, or a mix too low on sugar. We reset the freeze cycle and check your product brix.
  • How fast can you get parts for an older unit?
    We stock the common wear parts, augers, couplings, and seals, on the truck. For an odd part we source it and give you the timing in the written quote first.
