How To Install The Flake Ice Machine And Precautions

How to install flake ice machine
According to the water source, the flake ice machine can be divided into fresh water flake ice machine and sea water flake ice machine. But the freshwater flake ice machine will also add a certain proportion of salt water, the concentration of which is far lower than that of sea water. The purpose of adding salt is to make the ice flakes easier to shape, improve the quality of the ice flakes, the size of the ice flakes is appropriate, more beautiful, and the ice flakes are easier to fall off. Protect your device and consume less electricity. If no salt is added, flake ice will squeal.
Firstly when the machine arrives at the site, please check if the parts and models are consistent with the order list. If the package is intact, if there is any damage, carefully check each part of the machine for collision, deformation, displacement, loose bolts, loose wires, etc. If there is no problem we start the installation:
1. The location where the flake ice machine (ice machine) is installed. A. It should be installed in a place without direct sunlight and with good ventilation. B. The ambient temperature in winter cannot be too low, because the water pipes installed outside the machine are easy to freeze. C. The ventilation distance of the condenser is relatively small, the front and rear distances are relatively less than 1 meter, and the height is relatively less than 50 meters from the roof. It is better to have a larger ventilation distance, and keep the air flowing, so as not to suffocate the wind. If you really can't find a suitable time, you can install a suction device with a suitable size to allow the fresh air to exchange heat.

2. The flake ice machine should be installed on a solid ground, and the machine should be installed horizontally without inclination. Otherwise, there will be vibration when the machine is running, and if the tilt is too large, the storage refrigerator will store water, which will affect the quality of ice.

3. The ambient temperature of the flake ice machine is 5-38. The ambient temperature directly affects the ice production. This is why some customers often say that ice production is slow in summer. Water temperature 3-30C Water temperature also affects ice production. Water temperature is inversely proportional to ice production. Water source pressure 1-5BAR.

4. After the flake ice machine is in place, first check whether there is any damage to the appearance of the machine, whether there are foreign objects in the ice-falling channel, whether the blades of the fan rotate flexibly, and whether there are oil stains on the welding joints of the unit. Check whether the shut-off valve of the unit is fully open. Here is where it should be open. Check whether the oil level of the compressor is above the oil level line and whether it is short of oil. The oil pair has a great relationship with the service life of the compressor, so I hope everyone pays attention to the oil level and the color of the oil.

5. Check the voltage of the customer's home and the size of the air switch. The ice maker should have its own separate water valve and power supply for future maintenance.

6. Connect the water source, whether the water pressure is normal. If the water pressure is too low, it will cause the machine to alarm. If the water pressure in the customer's home is stopped or the water is constantly cut off, it is recommended that the customer store the water tank and the booster pump. The water level of the water inlet tank should be about 10mm lower than the overflow. The water level can be adjusted by the float ball.

7. Do not run the machine in refrigeration immediately after it is powered on. The crankcase heater should be able to press the oil to heat up, but some machines don't have it, so it's unnecessary.

8. Unit operation. Listen to the sound of the unit running. Look at the freezing of the evaporator, and some machines need to add salt water. Generally, it is better to add more than 200 grams of salt to a 30KG barrel. The specific situation can be seen by yourself. The effect of adding salt is for the quality of ice and the shedding of ice. At the same time, check whether the water level of the water separator is normal
