Mining camp kitchen equipment maintenance

Dust loading on condensers is the dominant failure driver on mine-adjacent sites around Marikana, Phokeng and Mooinooi. Cleaning intervals should reflect that, not general guidance written for town kitchens.

Continuous shift catering leaves almost no cleaning window, so maintenance has to be scheduled deliberately with the kitchen manager.

Arrange induction and access permits before the visit. A technician turned away at the gate is a day of downtime nobody planned for.
