Why Does The Ice Machine Need To Add Salt, How To Add Salt And Precautions

1. Why add salt flake ice machine

Ice machines are divided into fresh water ice machines and sea water ice machines according to the water source. However, the freshwater flake ice machine also adds a certain proportion of salt water, which is far lower than the concentration of sea water. The purpose of adding salt is to make the ice flakes easier to form, improve the quality of the ice flakes, make the ice flakes more suitable in size, make them more beautiful, fall off more easily, protect the equipment and consume less electricity. If no salt has been added, the ice cap will have a chance to screech.

2. How to add salt

Press the start/stop button to start the flake ice machine, add salt according to the above salt ratio, then fill the brine bucket with brine and mix well, then put the brine pump into the liquid pipe of the brine bucket.

3. Salt and precautions

After adding salt, observe the operation of the flake ice machine, the size of the ice flakes and the ice cubes. If it is found that the ice flakes produced by the ice machine are relatively broken, and the ice machine is accompanied by the harsh sound of cutting ice with ice knives, it means that the brine has not been added to the water tank. A common problem is air in the inlet and outlet tubing, which can affect the accuracy of the salt pump. At this time, the air should come out of the pipeline. The correct way is: the nozzle of the outlet pipeline of the salt pump sucks in air. Wait until you feel salt water in your mouth, then watch for droplets in the brine pump outlet hose. It is normal if there are water droplets. Then insert the brine pump outlet tube into the tank.
