Ice Machine Applications
Roughly 70% of service calls on ice machines are water related.
The most frequent water related problem associated with ice machines is lime scale accumulation.
Ice is 100% water, and the vast majority of service calls on ice machines are water quality related. The three main water quality issues plaguing ice machines are lime scale accumulation, chlorine, and sediment. Both cubed and flaked ice machines suffer from the following water related problems:
- Scale accumulation on evaporator plate or auger reduces efficiency by slowing the freezing process requiring the compressors to run longer.
- Scale accumulation causes ice to “hang up” and “bridge” in the bin.
- Sediment and scale deposits clog distributor tubes reducing ice harvest.
- Sediment and scale deposits affect the operation of the float valve, circulating pump, and purge valve.
- Chlorine present in municipal supplies can cause corrosion in ice bin, evaporator plate, auger, and cabinet.
Effective water filtration provides the following
Mineral scale build up responsible for increased maintenance is reduced
Energy efficiency and ice machine life are increased while reducing costly service calls
Sediment that causes cloudy ice that plugs distribution tubes & float valves is removed
Chlorine taste and odor is removed (for carbon based systems) reducing potential corrosion issues
Prima Water TOS
The TOS filter cartridges provide chlorine removal w/ scale control utilizing standard carbon block technology that removes sediment and chlorine from the water supply improving the taste of the water and reducing possible chlorine related corrosion issues.
Each of these filters are encapsulated with the patented ScaleStick® insert plug providing unparalleled mineral scale control.
