Crathco in Burlingame
Crathco commercial service.
Crathco dispensers earn their keep in exactly the kind of businesses Burlingame has: the c-stores feeding the SFO shuttle crowd, the concession counters, the cafes on Broadway pouring agua fresca and iced tea through bubbler and spray units all summer. Grindmaster and Welbilt stand behind the brand, which means parts exist and diagrams exist, and that makes these machines repairable instead of disposable.
We service the Crathco D line cold dispensers, the FROZEN and Mini-Pro granita units, and the classic bubbler and spray models. Around the airport these machines run long hours, and the moving parts, the pumps, the augers, the gearmotors, wear on a schedule you can almost set a calendar by.
A dead dispenser is a dead revenue line at the register, so we prioritize these calls. $75 diagnostic, waived when we do the repair.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Bubbler or spray pump losing its arc. When the fountain on a D-line or spray unit weakens to a dribble, the impeller pump has worn or the intake screen is scaled over with syrup residue. I rebuild or replace the pump and descale the circuit. Product visibly moving is what sells the drink, so this is worth fixing fast.
- Gearmotor failure on FROZEN and Mini-Pro augers. Granita is dense, and the auger gearmotor takes the load every minute the machine runs. On Burlingame units that pour all day for the airport trade, the gearbox gets loud, then strips. I replace the gearmotor and check mix consistency with the operator, because over-thick mix is what killed the old one.
- Unit runs but product will not hold temperature. On the refrigeration side of a Crathco, the usual suspects are a dust-packed condenser, a failed fan motor, or a thermostat that lost calibration. I check airflow and temps first before anyone starts talking about compressors. Most of these calls end with a coil cleaning and a control part.

FAQ
Crathco in Burlingame questions, answered.
-
How quickly can you reach our Burlingame store from your San Ramon base?
About 50 minutes over the 92 bridge and up 101 when traffic behaves. We stack Burlingame visits with Hillsborough and the rest of our Peninsula route, so same-day is realistic if you call in the morning, and next-morning is the norm otherwise. -
Our Crathco is an older model. Can you still get parts?
Almost always. Grindmaster and Welbilt keep pumps, gearmotors, bowls, and seals available across the D line, FROZEN, Mini-Pro, and the bubbler models. I confirm part availability before you commit, and the quote is written so there are no surprises. -
Do you charge extra for weekend service on beverage equipment?
We work 7 days and dispatch tells you the rate up front when you book. For a machine that stops selling drinks every hour it sits dark, a weekend visit usually pays for itself the same day.
