Placement Environment Requirements

Commercial Ice Machine Placement Environment Requirements:

I. Space Requirements

The commercial ice machine should be placed in a well-ventilated area. This helps the ice machine dissipate heat, preventing overheating that could affect ice production efficiency and the lifespan of the equipment. Ensure sufficient air circulation around the machine, and avoid placing it in narrow, enclosed corners or positions blocked by large objects.

Reserve adequate operating space. Sufficient space should be maintained around the ice machine to facilitate daily maintenance, cleaning, and troubleshooting by operators. Generally, a minimum of 20 centimeters of space should be reserved on all sides (front, back, left, and right).

II. Temperature Requirements

The ambient temperature of the placement environment should be within an appropriate range. Typically, it is recommended to maintain the ambient temperature between 5°C and 40°C. Excessively high temperatures can increase the workload of the ice machine and reduce ice production efficiency, while excessively low temperatures may cause malfunctions in certain components of the ice machine.

Avoid direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources. Direct sunlight can raise the surface temperature of the ice machine, affecting its performance, while proximity to heat sources such as stoves or heaters can increase the ambient temperature around the machine, raising the risk of equipment failure.

III. Humidity Requirements

The ambient humidity should be moderate. Generally, the relative humidity should be maintained between 45% and 85%. Excessively high humidity may lead to condensation inside the ice machine, affecting its electrical performance and ice quality, while excessively low humidity may increase dust in the air, which can enter the machine and disrupt its normal operation.

Avoid placing the ice machine in damp areas, such as basements, near water pools, or areas prone to water accumulation, to prevent moisture damage to the equipment.

IV. Floor Requirements

The ice machine should be placed on a stable and sturdy surface. Ensure the floor can support the weight of the ice machine to avoid shaking, tilting, or damage due to uneven or unstable surfaces.

It is recommended to place the ice machine on a level surface. The leveling feet or casters of the ice machine can be adjusted to ensure it is placed horizontally.
