Common Problem And Maintenance of Flake Ice Machine

Flake ice machine is a kind of industrial ice making equipment, which is widely used in fishery preservation, food processing, chemical medicine, concrete cooling and other fields. The working principle of flake ice machine is to use a vertical spiral blade ice cutting evaporator. When ice making, the ice bucket and the internal water distribution device evenly distribute water to the inner wall of the ice bucket to freeze quickly. After the ice is formed, the spiral ice blade cuts the ice and falls. The stable operation of ice flake machine equipment is directly related to production efficiency and product quality. After long-term use, the ice flake machine will inevitably have various faults.This article will introduce the common problems and maintenance of ice flake machine in detail.

In order to reduce the occurrence of ice flake making machine failures and extend its service life, regular maintenance is essential:

- Regularly inspect and replace aged seals and gaskets

- Clean the condenser and evaporator and keep their surfaces clean

- Check refrigerant levels to ensure the system is operating optimally

- Lubricates all moving parts to reduce wear

- Check electrical connections regularly to ensure they are safe and free of hidden dangersYou may encounter some common problems during normal use. The following are common problems of ice flake making machines and their solutions

1.Electrical system Problem

Cause analysis: power supply problem, sensor failure, control circuit panel damage.

Repair method:

- Replace a damaged power cord

- Use a multimeter to check the sensor resistance value and replace it if abnormal.

- Diagnose and repair or replace damaged control circuit panels.

2.Flake ice machine has poor refrigeration effect

Cause analysis: refrigerant leakage, condenser blockage, evaporator frosting too thick

Repair method:

- Check the refrigerant lines, repair leaks and recharge with refrigerant.

- Clean the surface of the condenser to ensure smooth air circulation.

- Defrost regularly to keep the evaporator surface clean.

3.The machine is noisy when running

Cause analysis: bearing wear, fan blade deformation, chain looseness.

Repair method:

- Replace worn bearings.

- Correct or replace deformed fan blades

- Adjust chain tension and check and tighten all screws.

4.Water leakage problem

Cause analysis: Loose water pipe connection, ruptured water tank, and faulty drain valve.

Repair method:

- Tighten the water pipe connections

- Replace cracked water tank parts.

- Clean or replace any faulty drain valve.

When repairing the flake ice machine, first make sure the power off, use appropriate tools and protective equipment, and follow the maintenance manual and operating instructions provided by the flake ice machines manufacturer to ensure the smooth progress of the maintenance work and the safety of personnel.
