Ice Maker Ice Production Error

During the days of summer, beverage shops enter their peak season.At this time, the flake ice machine takes on a crucial role. Ensuring an ample supply of ice to prevent shortages is a fundamental aspect of store sales, yet it’s a stage that’s often overlooked. Today, I’ll share some practical knowledge about flake ice machines. My hope is that in the future, when you’re selecting a flake ice machine, you’ll be able to choose one that suits your store well, offers good value for money, and helps you avoid unnecessary expenses.
The ice - making capacity that you usually see is, in fact, a theoretical value, which is calculated under ideal conditions. As we all know, there must be some errors in products related to equipment, and flake ice machines are no different. The ice - making process of a flake ice machine relies on water cooling. Therefore, the water temperature can affect the ice - making speed, which in turn affects the actual daily ice output.
Here’s a little piece of knowledge for you:
There is often a significant difference between the actual ice output of a flake ice machine in summer and winter and the output stated on the machine. Let me illustrate this with an example from a flake ice machine I recently tested.
When the water temperature is 15°C and the working temperature is 21°C, the flake ice machine can produce ice 120 times every 24 hours. However, when the water temperature rises to 30°C and the working temperature reaches 40°C, the machine can only produce ice 90 times every 24 hours. For many non - brand flake ice machines, under such circumstances, they can only produce ice around 50 times every 24 hours. The actual ice output is only about 40% of the stated capacity, or even lower!
