The ice making machine is a refrigerating mechanical device that generates water by cooling the refrigerant from the refrigeration system through the evaporator, and adopts a refrigeration system to produce ice by passing through a certain device under a power supply state. According to the principle of the evaporator and the production method, the shape of the generated ice cubes is also different; people generally divide the ice flakes into ice flake ice machine, flake ice machine, flake ice machine, tube flake ice machine, flake ice machine and so on. Here I want to talk to you about the Flake Ice Machine.


In the operation process of the flake ice machine, the ice making equipment also needs to maintain the flake ice machine frequently, so that the flake ice machine can prevent the occurrence of some common faults during the use process, and prevent the inconvenience caused by the flake ice machine. The flake ice machine manufacturer introduces us to the operation and clarification of the flake ice machine.


1. the ice making process

(1) Before starting the machine, it is necessary to check whether the active water supply equipment is normal, and whether the water storage capacity of the water tank is reasonable (the water level has been adjusted when the machine is shipped from the factory, the user may not adjust the water).

(2) Plug in the power supply, start the operation of the flake ice machine, the first pump starts running (the pump has a short air discharge process). After about 2 minutes, the compressor starts to start, and the machine enters the ice making condition.

(3) When the thickness of the ice cube reaches the set thickness, the ice plate probe starts to start, the solenoid valve starts to work, the water pump stops working, and the hot gas enters the evaporator, and the ice cube falls about 1.5 minutes. When the ice cubes fall, flip the ice tray and flip the reed switch. When the reed switch is closed from the head, the machine enters another ice making process.

(4) The compressor does not stop during the whole process of ice making and deicing.

(5) When the ice storage tank is full of ice and the reed switch cannot be actively closed, the machine actively stops the operation. When the ice cube is satisfied, the reed switch is closed from the head, and after 3 minutes delay, the machine starts to move from the beginning ice process.


2. the adjustment of the thickness of the ice bridge

(1) The thickness of the ice bridge should be about 3mm, and the interval between the probe and the evaporator should be about 1.5mm thicker than the thickness of the practice ice bridge. Turn the adjusting screw port clockwise to increase the thickness of the ice bridge (the screw rotates 1/3 circle of ice) The bridge thickness was changed by 1.5mm).

(2) Check the wiring and connecting brackets of the ice plate probes, and ensure that they can return to the correct position after each ice making process.

So how should the daily maintenance of the flake ice machine be carried out? We will continue to teach you as a Flake Ice Machine Supplier to extend the life of the flake ice machine.


1. The flake ice machine should be installed away from the heat source, without direct sunlight, and the ventilation is good. The ambient temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius to prevent the condenser from dissipating heat and affecting the ice making effect. The ground on which the flake ice machine is installed should be solid and flat, and it is necessary to adhere to the level of the flake ice machine, otherwise it will cause no ice and noise during operation.

2. The gap between the back and left and right side faces of the ice making machine should be no less than 30cm, and the top clearance should be no less than 60cm.

3. the flake ice machine should use independent power supply, dedicated line power supply and equipped with fuses and leakage maintenance switches, and must be reliably grounded.

4. The water for the flake ice machine should conform to the national drinking water standard, and install a water filter device to filter impurities in the water, prevent the water pipe from being blocked, and pollute the water tank and ice mold. And affect the ice making function.

5. When cleaning the flake ice machine, turn off the power supply. Do not use the water pipe to directly align with the body. Use a neutral detergent to scrub. Do not use acidic or alkaline solvents to clean.

6. It is necessary for the flake ice machine to unscrew the inlet hose head for two months to clean the inlet valve screen to prevent the sand mud impurities from blocking the water inlet, which causes the water intake to become smaller, resulting in no ice.

7. It is necessary to clean the external dust of the condenser every two months for the flake ice machine. The poor heat dissipation of the condensation will cause damage to the compressor components. When cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner, a small brush, etc. to clean the condensed surface oil dust. Do not use sharp metal objects to clean it to prevent damage to the condenser.

8. The water pipe, sink, storage refrigerator and maintenance film of the flake ice machine should be cleaned every two months.

9. When the flake ice machine is not used, it should be cleaned, and the ice mold and the moisture in the box should be dried with a hair dryer, and placed in a place free of corrosive gas and ventilated and ventilated to prevent open storage.
