How to Maintenance a Flake Ice Machine?

Flake Ice Machine is commonly used in the seafood producing process, from storage facilities to the seafood department of a local grocery, the flake Ice Machine is playing a vital role to keep the food fresh. In the instrument industry, precision components factory provides parts processing, need to consider the corresponding technology and efficiency, as well as the detailed process. So how to ensure the factory processing efficiency of precision parts and how to do precision parts processing well? Let’s take a look at the following guide.

• Routine Maintenance Operation Steps

1. The appearance of the flake ice machine unit is hygienic and clean, such as the cleaning of the evaporator, compressor, and condenser. Especially for the cleaning of air-cooled condensers, too much dust can easily block the suction radiating fins and cause condenser failure.
2. Frequently clean the scale inside the water tank, the water divider, and the evaporator, which is very important for the hygiene of the ice flakes produced.
3. Check that the water pipe of the drip tray is unobstructed.
4. Check whether the lubricating oil level of the reducer is normal and whether the fixing bolts are loose.
5. Check whether the full-ice through-beam photoelectric switch at the bottom of the ice bucket is normal and must be in the same straight line.
6. Replace the gear oil of the reducer once a year.
7. Please clean the inner wall of the evaporator with a soft cloth every two months on average. The water distribution tray, water tank, brine pump, and water tank are cleaned every 15 days.
8. The air-cooled condenser is cleaned once a month.

• Special Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions

Thorough cleaning and maintenance must be carried out by our maintenance personnel or trained personnel. When disassembling the ice machine, please put all the parts away and disassemble and debug according to the drawings. During the cleaning process, attention should be paid to empty the ice flakes in the freezer. Avoid contamination of cleaning agents. The cleaning steps are as follows:

1. Cut off the power supply.
2. Prepare the container for the preparation of the cleaning agent, and purchase the algae killing solution to prepare it with water.
3. Pour the cleaning agent slowly into the water tank and close the water supply valve of the water inlet pipe at the same time.
4. Connect the power of the machine, let it run for about 10 minutes, and cut off the power.
5. Then drain the sewage, open the water supply valve to enter the water, and then connect the power supply to wash with clean water for 5 minutes, and then replace the sewage.
6. Pour the disinfectant into the water tank, run for about 5 minutes, and replace the disinfectant.
7. Finally, rinse with clean water, lock the water tank, and wipe it clean.

Flake ice unit maintenance and maintenance play a key role in the performance and life of the equipment. The flake ice machine should have dedicated personnel for maintenance and management. Customers should pay attention to the training of new personnel after the change of maintenance personnel to ensure that the operation, maintenance, and maintenance of the flake ice machine are performed well, and to avoid accidents and losses caused by misoperation.
