How to Choose an Ice Maker?

Aug 31,2020

With the needs of social development, ice-using industries have become more and more extensive,because ice is widely used in food, medicine, aquatic products, chemical, marine fishing and other fields. Therefore, ice makers have become the new favorite of the ice industry. So many people may have used ice makers even in small beverage shops, and ice makers have become very common. It can be seen that the prospect of ice makers is broad.

The ice maker is a kind of refrigeration mechanical equipment that produces ice after the water is cooled by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system through the evaporator. The raw material of the ice maker is water. Based refrigeration system, water, as a carrier, passes through a certain device under power and become ice.

According to the use and the characteristics of the ice itself, ice is mainly divided into: freshwater flake ice, seawater flake ice, freshwater plate ice, seawater plate ice, transparent ice and ice water. No matter what kind of ice it is, its use is determined by its characteristics. The role of ice is divided into three types: one is used for cooling, another is used as food, and the third is artificial scenes for viewing. In terms of the different principles of the evaporator and the production process, the shape of the ice produced is also different. People generally sort ice makers into pellet ice maker, flake ice maker, plate ice maker, tube ice maker, shell ice maker, etc. according to the ice shape.

So, how do we choose an ice maker?

First. The output of the ice maker 

If the ice output of the ice maker is proportional to its price, then we can say that the ice maker we bought is cost-effective. It does not mean that the higher the output of the ice maker, the better it is. We need to consider comprehensively from multiple aspects.

Second. The demand for ice

Only if we have a good grasp of the output of ice cubes in the ice maker, can it better serve our work and life. In this way, you can better make predictions based on the scale and other aspects, and choose a suitable ice maker according to your needs.

Third. Model selection

We often encounter the situation in the summer that the ice maker directly "strikes" because of the increase in temperature during operation. So in the hottest season, can the amount of ice produced by the ice maker meet our demand? We should choose our model according to our daily needs.

The ice maker can produce ice cubes of different shapes, such as flake ice maker, snow ice maker, pellet ice maker, block ice maker and so on. According to different functions, choose a suitable ice maker, for example, a food ice maker or an industrial ice maker.
