Since the ice machine market is still in the preliminary stage of development, our customers and even our dealers have a superficial understanding of ice machines and remain at the preliminary stage of understanding. An obvious sign is that many ice makers do not have instructions for ice production under different seasons and different ambient temperature conditions, so there are many misleading and mis-purchasing behaviors. So how can I choose the right ice maker equipment?
1. Demand for ice cubes: From the perspective of experience, generally speaking, Chinese restaurants: each seat is required 0.5kg ice cubes; Western restaurants: 1kg ice cubes for each seat; hotel guest rooms: 1kg ice cubes for each room; pearl milk tea, bubble black tea, 1kg ice cubes can supply 7-8 cups; smooth ice, shaved ice each A kilogram can supply about 4 cups. Knowing the above data, friends in the catering industry can make reasonable choices based on their own scale and forecast of turnover. 2. Understanding of the ice production volume of the ice maker: 1. Definition of the ice production volume of the ice maker: When selecting a model, the user mainly considers the amount of ice used. However, the ice production of the ice maker is greatly affected by environmental conditions, and the standard operating conditions need to be clarified before the ice production can be compared. Shengye brand ice machines follow the internationally accepted nominal operating conditions as the standard operating conditions of the product (that is, the temperature of the ice making water is 15℃±1℃; the working environment temperature is 21℃±2℃; the power requirement is single-phase 220V 50 Hz/three-phase 380 volt 50 Hz; water source requirement is clean fresh water; working unit time is 24 hours) The certain kilogram ice maker we saw on the market means that it produces ice every day under standard working conditions quantity. 2. Recognition of the ice production volume of the ice maker in summer: In summer, the water temperature and the ambient temperature have risen significantly, and the rise of the water temperature is equivalent to extending the ice making time of each ice plate (because the freezing point of water is 0℃, it is necessary to The temperature of high-temperature ice-making water is longer to 0°C than that of room temperature water. The temperature of the environment is too high, and the air-cooled ice maker that uses air to exchange heat and cold produces a large amount of ice. The sharp decline is a serious fact that cannot be avoided. 3. About the selection of ice maker: 1. The time when ice is really needed is in summer, so when we choose ice maker, we have to ask a question: The ice maker we bought is hot in summer. During the good business period, will the ice cubes be enough? 2. We know that there is a big difference between the ice production of the ice maker in summer and the ice production marked by the ice maker. Take the Huayu Brothers ID90 ice maker as an example: when the water temperature is 15°C and the ambient temperature is 21°C , Huayu Brothers ID90 ice maker can produce ice 120 times per 24 hours. When the water temperature is 30℃ and the ambient temperature is 40℃, the machine can produce ice 90 times per 24 hours. In summer, there is water to assist in effective heat dissipation). As for many non-brand ice machines (air-cooled), at this time, only about 50 ice productions per 24 hours, actually only nearly 40% of the indicated ice production, or even lower . Knowing these principles, let's look at how to choose an ice machine. 3. If 70 kilograms of ice cubes are needed every day in the summer peak season, how big an ice machine does he need to buy? If he buys Huayu Brothers ice machine, he should choose ID200, the reason is: 70 kg ÷ 0.75 u003d 93.3 kg × 2.2u003d205 pounds. If he buys a non-branded machine (air-cooled), he should choose an ice machine of about 175 kg (385 lb). The reason is: 70 kg ÷ 0.4 u003d 175 kg. 4. In the peak season of business, about 150 kg of ice cubes are needed every day. What type of ice machine do you need to buy? If you buy a Huayu Brothers ice machine, you should choose the ID500 model. The reason is: 500 pounds ÷ 2.2 u003d 227 Kg×0.75u003d170 kg. If you buy a non-branded machine (air-cooled), you should consider an ice machine of about 375 kg (825 lb). The reason is that 150 kg ÷ 0.4 u003d 375 kg. Fourth, about the types of ice machines: 1. According to the shape of the ice cubes produced by the ice making mechanism, it can be divided into: tube ice machine, block ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine and pellet ice machine. 2. According to the different functions used, it can be divided into: edible cbfi ice machine and industrial ice maker; 3. Generally speaking, the ice produced by tube ice machine and pellet ice machine is edible, 4. Ice machines such as flake ice machines, plate ice machines, and block ice machines are for industrial use.Copyright © 2025 Guangzhou Icesource Co., Ltd. - www.icesourcegroup.com All Rights Reserved. 粤ICP备17010012号
