Crushed Ice Production.
Your 10TA Tube-Ice
®
machine is capable of producing crushed ice with
no loss of capacity. However, there are certain changes to be made in order to convert to crushed ice
production:
Add:
1.
Cutter Assembly (
).
2.
Cutter Motor 3/4 HP:
a.
60hz:
(208-230V/460V, 3.2/1.6A)
b.
50hz:
(190/380V, 4.2/2.1A)
3.
Gear Reducer 5:1 Ratio (
4.
Motor Starter:
a.
(2.5-4.0A)
460V machine -
b.
50hz: 200V machine -
(4.0-6.3A)
400V machine -
Change:
1. Raise the freezer pressure switch setting to make ice 3/16” thick (average).
2.
Reverse cutter direction.
3.
Reverse deflector.
Two people should normally accomplish this conversion process in 6-8 hours (or less). There must
be ample room around the machine for the water tank removal. It is recommended that you have
good quality water when attempting to produce crushed ice. If the ice is opaque and cloudy, it is
subject to clog the cutter mechanism restrict ice discharge and bind the cutter. Also, you should not
attempt to produce crushed ice when the make-up water temperature is below 50
°
F (10
°
C). Colder
water can cause a build-up of ice fines in the tank and eventually result in “short-cycling”.
