Crathco in Richmond
Crathco refrigeration in Richmond.
When a Crathco frozen barrel stops churning at a Macdonald Avenue taqueria, the first thing we check is the magnetic drive. The auger inside the bowl couples to the motor through a magnet with no direct shaft between them, and if that coupling slips, the product sits still and sets up solid.
We see these units along Macdonald Avenue and 23rd Street running horchata, aguas frescas, and slush through a warm afternoon. 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 Richmond questions, answered.
-
Do you service Crathco machines on Macdonald Avenue?
Yes, that's regular work for us, along with 23rd Street and the smaller cafes in Point Richmond. -
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.
