Knowledge answers to common questions of ice maker, poke in and have a look!
Many users have a lot of questions to ask when buying ice machine equipment, because understanding before purchasing any equipment is very important, and reasonable recommendations from manufacturers can help customers understand their own situation to a certain extent. Choose the appropriate model. Today, the editor of okmarts.com summarizes the following common problems, hoping to help friends solve your doubts.
   1. Question: Is the refrigerant added to the ice maker before leaving the factory?
   Answer: Yes, they are all charged with refrigerant, and they can be produced when they are connected to water and electricity!
  2. Q: Have the ice machines been tested before they leave the factory?
  Answer: Yes, it usually leaves the factory after careful inspection. During the installation and commissioning at the customer's site, the test machine will be checked again.
  3. Q: Can the ice maker produce ice bricks of different specifications and weights?
   Answer: Yes, it is possible. Generally speaking, the ice maker can change the relevant configuration and the specifications of the ice mold. You can produce ice bricks of any specification, for example, from one ton to one hundred tons. Of course, you should say in advance when ordering, and the manufacturer can design according to your requirements.
  4. Q: For the same 24-hour 10-ton ice maker, to produce 25 kg/piece or 50 kg/piece ice bricks, is the price the same?
   Answer: The price is different. Strictly speaking, the price of ice brick machine cannot be calculated according to the daily output, but should be priced according to how many ice bricks and specifications are produced every 24 hours. As long as you tell the requirements, the manufacturer will quote you a reasonable price of! Please note: 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg, 25 kg, 30 kg, 50 kg, 100 kg and even hundreds of kg of ice bricks can be produced by general ice making equipment, and these various The ice-out time of ice bricks of different specifications is different, and the lifting equipment and whether the container is brought or not are also different.
   5. Question: Does making a ton of ice consume a lot of electricity? What is the general electricity?
Answer: This question is more complicated, because the energy consumption of ice making involves many factors, which are related to temperature, air humidity, ice thickness, and local water source temperature. Generally, in theory, making one ton of ice consumes more than 7,000 energy According to our actual experience, it is generally 45 to 55 degrees for a ton of ice, depending on local conditions. Generally speaking, Freon refrigeration is more energy-efficient than ammonia refrigeration. Is ammonia machine a general trend to be replaced? The State Council has issued a document and will gradually eliminate it. The screw machine is more energy-efficient than the piston machine, and the semi-closed piston machine is more energy-efficient than the open piston machine.
   6. Q: Can an ice factory make money?
  Answer: Some users ask this question, but it is really difficult to answer. Making money is not making money. Sometimes it is really not just about the product, but considering the comprehensive factors of the market! For example, whether there is sufficient market demand for ice consumption in the local area, which units or industries are using ice, whether there are other ice factories competing, etc. You can also do a simple arithmetic problem. Take a 10-ton ice factory as an example: According to the electricity consumption per ton of ice, 60 kilowatt-hours of electricity, 11 tons of water, and 2 workers, you can calculate the "local price per ton of ice × 10- 10×60 (kWh of electricity) × local electricity fee-11 × local water fee-labor =? How much is it to see if you can make money? Of course, don't forget to include the rent, your own house is another matter.
   7. Q: Are there too many failures of the ice maker? Is the quality stable?
  Answer: The general failure of the ice machine is that the electrical switches are more faulty. You need to hire a person who understands electricity. Generally, the compressor only needs to ensure that there is no shortage of oil, no shortage of water, and stable voltage. There is nothing wrong with it in a few years, just switch the button. The screw machine is even better. It will run continuously for several months without any problems. The key is to have a sense of responsibility! Always pay attention to the oil level, water level and voltage.
   8. Q: Do ice machines generally run automatically?
  Answer: Yes, generally the refrigeration part of the ice maker is automatically controlled by a microcomputer. It just starts to add water, and when the ice is released, it needs personnel to remove the ice. Please configure staff on duty and movers according to machine requirements.
   9. Q: What material is the general ice maker made of?
Answer: A machine is made of composite materials. It will not be made of a single material. For example, the manufacturing materials of compressors include copper, iron, aluminum, plastic, nylon and other materials. We produce in strict accordance with national standards. The machine contains a variety of materials such as copper, iron, aluminum, plastic, nylon, and polymer, and the entire set of equipment has been treated with anti-corrosion treatment, because our ice block machine is made of aluminum alloy and does not use salt water as the medium, which will never corrode the ice mold Unlike the traditional old-fashioned salt water ice machine, salt water is corrosive, and the ice bucket needs to be replaced every few years, requiring a second investment. The ice trough and other areas in contact with salt water are severely corroded and require constant maintenance.
   10. Q: Can the ice maker produce transparent ice bricks?
  Answer: The ice maker can produce transparent ice bricks, which can be used in artistic fields such as ice sculpture. The basic principle of the transparent ice machine is the same as the ordinary ice block machine, but some special equipment must be added. The manufacturer can provide you with all according to your requirements. The cost will not increase much. The key is that the manufacturer will teach the technology of transparent ice in detail. , This is the important thing!
  11. Q: Can the ice machine be put into a container?
Answer: Generally ice machines can carry containers, and exported ice machines are also designed according to container specifications, which can be easily loaded into containers. For example, an ice machine with a capacity of 25 kg and 10 tons can use a 40-foot ice machine. Into the container. The domestic ice machine with daily output exceeding 12 tons/day is also designed according to truck specifications and can be easily transported to your plant.
  12. Q: Are general ice machines with 380V50HZ power specifications? Is there a machine that is suitable for foreign power specifications, such as 440V60HZ, or 220V three-phase power, suitable for use in America?
  Answer: The ice machine can be designed and manufactured according to your requirements with foreign power specifications. When ordering, the friends should specify the power specifications of the country in which they are located to avoid errors.
   13. Q: Do you purchase an ice maker package for installation training?
   Answer: Yes, most manufacturers will package installation training. When the machine is shipped to your company, the manufacturer will send a technician to install and debug it. After the commissioning, it will provide targeted training to your company’s machine operation and simple maintenance. The manufacturer will provide detailed technical information and operating skills manuals before the machine leaves the factory. .
  14. Q: Are all the ice machines refrigerated by Freon? Is there any ammonia refrigeration?
Answer: Unless otherwise specified, the machines are all made of Freon refrigeration, because the ammonia machine cannot be pre-installed, and can only be installed on site, and because ammonia is highly toxic, you should consider making an ammonia machine system When it is time, please ask the local environmental protection department in advance to avoid residential areas (generally residential areas cannot be approved for ammonia refrigeration projects) to avoid damage to your investment.
The role of ice is divided into three types: one is cooling, the other is food, and the third is artificial scenes for viewing. Subdivided, ice machines are widely used in aquatic products, food, supermarkets, dairy, medicine, chemistry, vegetable preservation and transportation, marine fishing and other industries. With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people’s production levels, ice-making industries are increasingly The wider the requirement, the higher the requirement for ice quality. The requirements for "high performance", "low failure rate", and "hygiene" of ice machines are becoming more and more urgent. In summary, flake ice machines are currently used in aquatic product processing, meat product processing, food processing, supermarket and aquatic product market applications, long-distance transportation applications, laboratories, medicine, chemicals, artificial ski resorts, etc. The industry has also been widely used and applied in concrete engineering.
