Analysis of the purpose of adding salt to commercial flake ice machines and the maintenance of brine pipes

The commercial flake ice machine is running, but the ice flakes are transparent and have a lot of water, which is easy to melt. The ice flakes have no use value, and there is abnormal noise when cutting ice inside the ice bucket. It indicates that the commercial flake ice machine is faulty, and the specific reasons and repair methods are as follows.
1. Possible reasons: No brine is added to the commercial flake ice machine or the concentration of brine is too low;
Maintenance method: Please follow the instructions of the brine pump in the instruction manual to replenish brine, and add salt to the commercial flake ice machine.
2. Possible cause: The brine pipeline of the commercial flake ice machine is blocked, or the brine pump is damaged;
Solution: Check the cleaning pipeline of the commercial flake ice machine to ensure that the brine replenishment is normal, or contact the manufacturer of the commercial flake ice machine to replace the brine pump.
3. Possible cause: there is air in the brine pipe in the machine;
Maintenance method: Exhaust the air* to ensure that the brine supply to the inlet and outlet pipes in the pipe is normal. Pump the saline out of the tube and suck out the air with your mouth. Until you feel salt water in your mouth, observe whether there is water dripping out of the brine pump outlet pipe. If there is even water dripping out, it is normal, and then insert the brine pump outlet pipe into the water tank.
By the way, why do commercial flake ice machines add salt? The purpose of adding salt is to make ice flakes shape better.
1. Improve the quality of borneol, dry and loose, and the borneol is more beautiful.
2. The size of ice flakes is about 1.0-2.5 thickness, and the diameter is about 12 to 45 mm. Irregular ice flakes, without salt, the shape of ice flakes is poor, and ice flakes are easy to break and melt.
3. Add salt to the commercial flake ice machine, the ice flakes are easier to fall off, which protects the equipment and consumes less electricity.
4. If no salt is added, the ice flakes will stick to the inner wall of the evaporator, which is not conducive to scraping the ice by the ice blades. The commercial ice flakes will make a harsh sound, and it is easy to damage the ice blades and the evaporator.
Only by understanding why commercial flake ice machines need to add salt and the purpose can we better grasp the method and proportion of adding salt to commercial flake ice machines.
