Choosing the Right Ice Maker

Choosing the Right Ice Maker

With the continuous development of the economy and the continuous improvement of the quality of life, people's awareness of the flavor of food is also continuously enhanced. Ice cubes are indispensable in our daily life, especially in this hot summer. The source of ice cubes is nothing more than cooling and producing ice through cold storage, refrigerators, and ice machines. Then the flavor and shape of ice cubes produced by them There is a big difference. The most safe thing for them is to produce ice through the ice maker, so how to choose a suitable ice maker is the top priority.

Presumably everyone has heard of ice machine products, and today we will have a deeper understanding. The ice maker (English name: ice maker or ice machine) adopts a refrigeration system, uses water as the carrier, and passes through a certain device in the electrified state to produce ice. The device is called an ice maker. An ice machine is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice after water is cooled by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system through an evaporator. According to the principle of the evaporator and the different production methods, the shapes of the ice cubes generated are also different. Generally, according to the shape of the ice, ice machines are divided into granular ice machines, flake ice machines, plate ice machines, tube ice machines, shell ice machines, etc. wait.

Generally speaking, the ice produced by the tube ice machine and the granular ice machine is for food use, while other ice machines such as flake ice machine, plate ice machine, block ice machine, etc. are for industrial use. So how to choose the right ice machine? Generally speaking, each seat in a Chinese restaurant needs 0.5KG of ice cubes, each seat in a western restaurant needs 1KG of ice cubes, and each room in a hotel room needs 1KG of ice cubes. 1KG of ice cubes for pearl milk tea and bubble tea can supply about 7-8 cups. . And large supermarkets, KFC, etc. generally need several ice machines to meet the supply. This data is for reference only, and the demand in general summer will be greater. Friends in the catering industry can make reasonable choices based on the size of the store and the forecast of turnover, and determine the amount of ice required daily. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the factors that affect the ice production of the ice machine by the environment. Generally, how much is marked on the market? The KG ice machine refers to the daily ice production in a standard environment (ambient temperature 21 degrees, water inlet temperature 10 degrees). When ice cubes reach the peak demand season, when the ambient temperature and water temperature are high, the actual ice production will decrease accordingly, about 70% of the theoretical ice production.
