Why do flake ice machines need to add salt, ROBIN Machinery tells you!
1. Why add salt
Flake ice machine is divided into fresh water flake ice machine and sea water flake ice machine according to the water source. But the fresh water ice flake machine also adds a certain proportion of salt water, which is far lower than the concentration of sea water. The purpose of adding salt is to make ice flakes easier to form, improve the quality of ice flakes, make ice flakes more suitable size, make them more beautiful, fall off more easily, protect equipment, and consume less electricity. If no salt is added, the ice cap will have a chance to screech.
2. How to add salt
Press the start/stop button to start the flake ice machine, add salt according to the above salt ratio, then fill the brine bucket with brine and mix well, then pump the brine into the liquid line of the brine bucket.
3. Salt and precautions
After adding the salt, observe the operation of the flake ice machine, the size of the flake ice and the ice cubes. If the ice flakes produced by the ice maker are found to be relatively broken, the ice maker is accompanied by a screeching sound of ice being cut with an ice blade, indicating that salt water is not being added to the tank. A common problem is air in the inlet and outlet pipes, which affects the accuracy of the salt pump. At this time, the air should be out of the pipeline. The correct way is: the nozzle of the salt pump outlet pipeline inhales the air. Until you feel the salt water in your mouth, then watch the salt water pump for drips. If there are water droplets, this is normal. Then insert the brine pump outlet tube into the tank.
