Why do I need to add salt when making flake ice? Anyone who has used an cbfi ice machine knows that the flake ice machine needs to add salt when it is iced. Then you all know why the flake ice machine needs salt and what to pay attention to when adding salt. The following editor will take everyone to understand.
First, why do flake ice machines add salt to make ice
flake ice machines are divided into fresh water flake ice machines and sea water flake ice machines according to the water source. However, the fresh water flake ice machine also adds a certain proportion of salt water, which is far lower than the concentration of sea water. The purpose of adding salt is to make the ice flakes easier to form, improve the quality of the ice flakes, make the ice flakes more suitable in size, make them more beautiful, easier to fall off, protect the equipment, and consume less electricity. If no salt is added, the ice sheet will have a chance to make a harsh sound and consume more electricity.
2. How to add salt to the flake ice machine
Press the start/stop button to start the ice flake machine, add salt according to a certain proportion, and then fill the brine bucket with water and stir evenly. Then put the saline pump inlet pipe into the saline bucket.
3. Precautions for adding salt to the flake ice machine
After adding salt to the machine, observe the ice making situation of the flake ice machine, the size and hardness of the borneol. If it is found that the ice flakes produced by the flake ice machine are relatively broken, the flake ice machine is accompanied by the harsh sound of cutting ice with ice skates, indicating that the salt water has not been added to the water tank. A common problem is that there is air in the inlet and outlet pipes, which will affect the accuracy of the salt pump. At this time, the pipeline air should be discharged. The correct way is: the outlet pipe nozzle of the salt pump inhales air. Until you feel salt water in your mouth, then observe whether there are water droplets in the salt water pump outlet pipe. If there are water drops, this is normal. Then insert the brine pump outlet pipe into the water tank.
You can also make ice without adding salt, but the ice is harder and not easy to fall off. The purpose of adding salt is to make the ice fall off easily.
The above is about why salt is added when making flake ice. Thank you for your patience! If you want to know more about the flake ice machine, you can consult our online customer service, and we will serve you wholeheartedly.
