160Kg Ice Maker Machine

Description

1. Capacity

• Ice production: approx. 160 kg per 24 hours (at standard test conditions, e.g. 21 °C ambient / 10 °C inlet water)
• Ice storage bin: typically 40–70 kg built‑in storage
• Ice type (choose when you buy):
  • Cubes (full or half dice) – most common
  • or hollow cubes / bullet ice, depending on model

2. Ice & Operating Conditions

• Standard test conditions:

  • Ambient temp: ~21–25 °C
  • Water temp: ~10–15 °C

• Production can drop 20–40% in hotter rooms or with warmer inlet water.

• Ice size (cube machine example):

  • Cube: about 22 × 22 × 22 mm (varies by brand)

3. Refrigeration System

• Refrigerant: Commonly R404A or R290 (check local regulations)
• Cooling method:
  • Air‑cooled condenser (most common), or
  • Water‑cooled (less common now; needs plumbing)
• Compressor: hermetic refrigeration compressor, approx. 800–1,500 W input (depending on design)

4. Electrical

• Power supply (typical):
  • 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz, single‑phase (most markets)
  • Some heavy‑duty units: 380–415 V / 3‑phase
• Total power input: about 0.8–1.6 kW
• Controls:
  • On/Off switch
  • Automatic level and bin‑full sensor (machine stops when bin full)
  • Basic indicator lights (Power, Ice making, Bin full, Fault)

5. Water Requirements

• Water connection:
  • Cold water inlet, usually ½” or ¾”
• Water pressure: typically 0.1–0.6 MPa (1–6 bar)
• Drain:
  • Gravity drain, usually ¾” outlet (machine must be higher than drain point)

6. Construction

• Exterior: Stainless steel body (front/sides), plastic trim possible
• Ice bin interior: Food‑grade ABS/plastic or stainless steel
• Insulation: Polyurethane foam around bin
• Door: Front flip‑up or pull‑down bin door for ice access
• Feet: Adjustable legs (often 100–150 mm high for cleaning under machine)

7. Dimensions & Weight (approximate)

Typical for a 160 kg/24 h self‑contained unit:

• Width: ~700–900 mm
• Depth: ~600–800 mm
• Height: ~1,000–1,300 mm (including legs)
• Net weight: about 80–140 kg

(Remote‑bin systems can differ.)

8. Features & Safety

• Automatic ice making cycle with bin‑full shutoff
• Air filter (on air‑cooled units), sometimes removable for cleaning
• Overload and high‑pressure protection for compressor
• Corrosion‑resistant evaporator (nickel‑plated or stainless, depending on type)
• Some models include:
  • Self‑cleaning / descaling program
  • Fault diagnostics LEDs or display
