Does the flake ice machine consume electricity?

The flake ice machine is the most power-saving ice-making equipment among all ice machines. The flake ice machine consumes no electricity and is more energy-saving. Flake ice machine is the first choice for customers to use ice. It is widely used in food processing, concrete mixing, slaughterhouses, chemicals, supermarket fresh-keeping, etc.

1. The structure of the flake ice machine determines that the flake ice machine does not consume electricity. The flake ice machine does not need to de-ice like the cube ice machine, tube ice machine, and block ice machine, which is more energy-saving.

The flake ice machine is mainly composed of a compressor, an expansion valve, a condenser, and an evaporator, forming a cycle-closed refrigeration system. The evaporator of the flake ice machine is a vertical barrel structure, which is mainly composed of ice blades, a main shaft, a sprinkler plate, and a water receiving plate. Driven by the reducer, they slowly rotate counterclockwise. Water enters the water distribution plate from the water inlet of the evaporator of the flake ice machine, and through the sprinkler plate, the water is evenly sprinkled on the inner wall of the evaporator to form a water film; the water film exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the flow channel of the evaporator, and the temperature drops rapidly , A thin layer of ice is formed on the inner wall of the evaporator, and under the extrusion of the ice knife, it breaks into flakes of ice and falls into the ice storage bin from the ice outlet. Part of the unfrozen water flows back into the cold water tank from the water return port through the water receiving tray, and enters the next cycle through the cold water circulation pump.

2. The flake ice machine does not need to remove the ice, and directly scrapes the ice with the ice blade, which saves the consumption of cooling capacity and is more energy-saving.
