Understanding the Operation of Block Ice Machines

Ice making process of block ice machine, <br />As shown in the animation: <br />1. First fully feed the ice bucket with water, press the button and start the refrigeration system. <br />2. The agitator makes the brine flow cyclically which will have a heat transfer with the refrigerant inside the Ti evaporative coils and then the temperature is lowered. <br />3. Then the low temperature brine water has a heat transfer with the fresh water inside the ice buckets which will be lowered to 0℃ below. <br />4. After a certain ice making time, the water in the ice bucket all becomes ice when the ice thawing system is beginning to run. <br />5. The crane will hoist a row of buckets down into the ice thaw tank , full of running warm water. So the bucket temperature will be rising when the ice surface thaws and gets separated from ice bucket. <br />6. Then ice buckets will be hoisted to the ice can dumper and dump the ice blocks. <br />7. Refill water to a certain level using water feeding gadget, then the crane will hoist the buckets back to the brine water tank and hoist another row of ice buckets in the brine water tank. <br />Thaw ice, dump ice and add water cyclically. <br />Want to know more about ice machines please contact us <br /> <br />Shenzhen Iceups Refrigeration Equipment Co.,Ltd. <br />Tel:0086 15038306816 <br />E-mail:ice-machines@hotmail.com <br />Contact:Hank <br />Skype:hankxie0612
