Dough Chiller Repair Yanchep Supermarket Bakery Operation

A Yanchep supermarket runs a commercial bakery operation on site. The water chiller that keeps dough at the right temperature for production is not a backup system. When it stops working, bakery output stops with it.

What Was Happening

The dough chiller had been losing performance. When the fault was investigated, the condenser was found to be completely blocked. The compressor had also failed and needed replacement. A blocked condenser running in Perth's summer conditions puts serious strain on refrigeration systems, and this one had reached the end of what it could absorb.

How It Was Handled

The repair required two site visits. On the first visit, the system was decommissioned and the replacement compressor confirmed. The correct unit was sourced and the repair was completed on the second visit. The condenser was fully cleaned before recommissioning. The system was monitored on site until it reached operating temperature and was confirmed stable before the technician left.

The Result

The dough chiller was returned to full operation with a clean condenser and new compressor. The repair was documented under the operator's work order system and signed off against the asset record for the site.

Why PEMS

Refrigeration repairs in a live food production environment require the system to be confirmed stable before the job is closed. PEMS technicians stay on site through recommissioning, not just until the power is back on.

If your site has refrigeration equipment supporting food production and you are not certain when it was last inspected, a service assessment is a straightforward starting point. Call PEMS on 08 7095 3550 or visit pemservices.com.au.
