How to Choose a Flake Ice Machine?

Before choosing a flake ice machine, first understand the working principle of the flake ice machine: 1. The compressor suctions and compresses, compressing the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid state, 2. After the condenser is cooled, 3. The expansion valve throttles and evaporates, 4. The heat exchange of the ice bucket makes the water flowing through it quickly freeze into ice. Compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator (ice bucket) are the four major parts of ice making. To buy a flake ice machine, you must understand the equipment configuration, choose a strong ice machine manufacturer, and choose a flake ice machine brand with a good reputation in the industry.

Choose first-class brand refrigeration accessories

1. The compressor is the power component of the flake ice machine, accounting for 20% of the cost of the flake ice machine. Be sure to choose brand compressors, reliable quality, and industry-recognized compressors. For example, Bitzer of Germany, Copeland of Germany, Danfoss of Denmark, and Shanghai Hanbell are all international brand compressors recognized by the industry.

2. The evaporator is the ice component of the ice maker. The quality of the evaporator is related to the output and the quality of ice. Generally, the evaporator is made of carbon steel, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel. Stainless steel is not easy to rust, but it is expensive. Tips, the evaporator must be an ice maker manufacturer and can independently produce and design the evaporator to ensure quality and after-sales service.

3. The cooling method of the ice maker is divided into water cooling and air cooling, and the condensation efficiency will affect the output of the ice maker. The cooling method of the water tower is efficient, but the water source is sufficient and the water consumption is serious. Air cooling has a small footprint, does not require water, and has good cooling efficiency. Generally, small ice-making machines use air cooling, and large ice-making machines use water tower cooling.

4. The expansion valve is known as a capillary. Through refrigerant throttling, the normal temperature liquid refrigerant evaporator is turned into a low-temperature vapor state, creating low-temperature conditions for the evaporator to freeze. Choose industry-recognized brands, such as Danfoss, Emerson and other first-line international brands of expansion valve have a good reputation.
