The Use and Maintenance of Filters in Ice Machines

Filters for Ice Tech ice machines are an important addition that will improve the performance of ice machines and further extend the life of the machines.

For this purpose, we make use of filters and filtration systems.

In the following, we will explain the Ice Tech filtration systems and the different types of filters.

FILTRATION SYSTEMS

The quality of the water directly affects the lifespan of these machines, as well as the quality of ice that is obtained with Ice Tech machines.

Ice Tech provides filtration equipment that protects the ice machines ensuring proper functioning and extending lifespan. Installation is essential so that the machines will last for many years.

Do accompany the best machine on the market with your filter suitable. The annual cost is minimal, you only need to change the cartridge once a year, depending on the hardness of the water and following the recommendations of Ice Tech and the result achieved is excellent: a machine in good conditions for many years.

PARTICLE FILTER

To filter waste water or sandy water.

Mechanical filter for particles of 5 microns made of woven polypropylene. Prevents the entry of dirt into the machine while protecting valves, pumps, evaporator, etc.

ANTI-CHLORINE FILTER

To remove the bad taste and smell from the water, in addition to filtering waste water or sandy water. Suitable for water with bad odors and flavors or for water that is highly chlorinated. Active charcoal filter and particles of 5 microns. The filter absorbs the particles of unpleasant odors and flavors.

CS ANTI-LIMESCALE AND ANTI-CHLORINE FILTER

To protect against water with a high content of limescale and to remove the bad taste and odor from the water. Suitable for wáter with a lot of limescale and with bad odors and flavors or for water that is highly chlorinated.

Anti-limescale active charcoal filter. The filter protects against limescale, it absorbs the chlorinated particles as well as unpleasant odors and flavors. Available in single or double version and in normal size or XL, depending on the type of machine that it is going to protect.

INSURICE FILTER

This is the most complete filter of the range, to reduce bacterial contaminants, protect against water with high limescale content, and remove the bad taste and smell from the water by filtering microscopic particles. Suitable for extreme conditions, water with a lot of limescale, or with bad odors and flavors, wherever a healthy level of quality is sought.

AgIONTM antibacterial, limescale filter, activated charcoal and 0.5 micron particle filter. The filter reduces contaminants such as asbestos, bacterial cysts, it protects against limescale, it absorbs chlorinated particles as well as unpleasant odors and flavors.

• The capacity of the filter and the lifespan of the cartridge depend on the quality of the wáter
• See the correspondence tables by contacting with the SAT of Ice Tech.

WATER SOFTENERS

It is ideal for hospitality applications since it is compact and fast in regeneration. Volumetric water softener with resin. To fill it up with salt (NaCI). Suitable for water with high limescale content, up to 50-60 degrees of hardness.

REPLACEMENT FILTERS

ANTI-LIMESCALE and ANTI-CHLORINE cartridges and INSURICE are renewed by replacement of what is used up on the existing head. The PARTICLE and ANTI-CHLORINE cartridges are replaced by emptying the glass container and removing the used cartridge. As a reference, the cartridges have a useful lifespan of 1 year. Calculation estimated for an average ice machine with a level of average hardness of water. The replacement of the glass container is supplied in alimentary opaque polypropylene of 9” or 10” with support and coupling for connection to 3/4”.

CALKLIN

Product to carry out the periodic cleaning of the ice machines. They are envelopes with citric acid as the active component that eliminates the limescale deposited in the entire circuit of the ice machines, evaporator, storage, etc. It can also be used for the cleaning of coffee machines, dishwashers, kettles, vending machines, etc… CALKLIN does not stain, is non-corrosive, it can be transported and it can be rinsed down the drain. It is presented in envelopes containing bags of 50gr for machines with production of up to 60Kg./24h or in bags of 200GR for machines with larger daily production.

As you can see, we take into account the maintenance of our ice machines and our commitment is that they remain active as long as possible.

We recommend a review of these every 6 months.
