How To Carry Out Soda Machine Restoration

By Marcie Goodman


Keeping soda machines in good working condition is an important task that needs to be considered. The proper manner of Soda Machine Restoration often begins with the removal and disassembling of the bolts and nuts. When this is done, it results to separation of the machine into smaller components which are easier to clean and those that lead to easy changing of the respective parts.

Bead blasting is then carried out on all parts to help remove all the dirt, grease and rust that accumulate on the surfaces. Compressed air is used in blasting abrasive grits to the material surface. This is essential as it enables the old stains and paint to be totally done away with, thereby leaving a smooth surface for the next step.

Carrying out power coating on all liners, drums and shelves ensures an acceptable finish. This results to final finish that is of class and which can be termed as new and original. This process involves beginning from the top and moving gently to the bottom of the machine while making sure that proper coating is done on all sections. This particular step is closed up by adding embossed lettering for a final touch at this point.

The next important step is stripping, which should be carried out after mixing chemical ratio to perfection. You should apply this chemical gently from the bottom while moving upwards in order to prevent streaking. At this step, any needed repairs can easily be determined and so, it is very necessary to take note of such.

It is highly recommended to place energy insulation with much concentration on the interior doors section. This should however be done with lots of caution as the cooling system originality will be determined majorly by manner in which insulation was done. This is what calls for proper insulation practice.

How the machine is designed or styled will also determine the manner in which chrome is polished. New and stainless screws and bolts should be used to make sure that the machine stays durable and lasts long enough, without having to change bolts. When carrying out powder coating on the stacks and bottles, make sure it is done correctly to prevent fault tolerance and function procedure interference.

Coin mechanisms should be considered and it is better if they function properly without problems. Thorough inspection and cleaning are the techniques which could enable better results. Everyone would have his or her preferred dress-up decals and so, it would be necessary if you choose that decal which suits you best. These decals would then be fixed to the machine.

The refrigeration unit is also one area that has to be tackled before the soda machine restoration process can be deemed over. In this step, the original unit can be restored back to its original place after disassembling, repainting and rewiring. Alternatively, you can decide to have a brand new deck compressor unit added to your machine, which would also mean that you spend a little more on the new compressor.
