Keeping the ice maker working efficiently
Can Your Ice Machine Make More Ice?
For those who already have an ice maker, a constant question they might have is how to achieve greater productivity? If this is your case, we have good news for you: implementing small adjustments can achieve a significant increase in ice production without altering its quality.
Water Conditions Used
When it comes to making ice, water is everything. The two main factors are the purity of the water and its temperature when entering the ice maker. When there are relevant levels of minerals in the water, the freezing temperature is altered, being even lower than estimated by the machine. This means that the ice takes longer to freeze because it requires a temperature lower than the normal. The solution here is to guarantee a supply of pure water at a favorable temperature.
Room temperature
Think carefully about where you are going to install the ice maker because its position will determine the performance of it. A colder environment will benefit the machine, which will have to make less effort to make ice. It is vital that the machine is constantly cooled during its operational state. Installing an ice maker on the floor is a good idea. However, the floor material is extremely important. Ceramics and tile cool more efficiently than others.
Routine Maintenance
Believe it or not, ice machines, even those that have high-quality components, require a maintenance process. This procedure allows the internal components to remain in good condition and, consequently, to function optimally. Do not wait for the ice maker to fail before you need an expert to help. Therefore, have technical maintenance regularly to avoid problems and keep the machine working properly at all times.
