DESCRIPTION

  

The QUASAR-C ice cubes maker is the result of years of experience in this field and the development of a 

high technology factory. 

Main Features 

 

Storage bin made of polyester strengthened with glass fibre or ABS 

 

Stock bin made of high resistance plastic materials 

 

Polyurethane insulation injected “IN SITU” 

 

Heavy duty door  (pat.) except Q 20-30 y MQ 200. 

 

Agitator motor for continuous service 

 

Tough cam motor (50 Kg/cm) 

 

Safety device and clutch for the water pan preventing its breakage during the upward cycle, (pat.) 

 

Machine stoppage and water pan protection during the downward cycle, (pat.) 

 

The stock ice is the maximum than it could be thanks to the stop machine system. 

 

Low noise 

 

High pressure safety pressostats even in air-cooled machine. 

 

Large  condensers  (work  well  at  high  ambient  temperatures;  and  reduce  cooling  water  consumption  in 

water-cooled machines). 

 

Clear cubes. 

 

Ices Cubes can be adjusted (height and diameter). 

 

Easy to maintain and repair. 

HOW IT WORKS 

When  the machine is switched on the compressor and the agitator motor start, the water entry valve opens 

and allows water into the production pan up to a level where the float makes a micro-switch cut the current 

to the valve and so stop water entering the tray. The compressor, controlled by capillaries produces enough 

cold in the evaporator to gradually freeze the water around its “fingers”. 

When  the  ice  so  formed  reaches  the  proper  size  the  paddles  of  the  agitator  are  stopped  and  its  motor, 

suspended, works the end of cycle micro-switch. 

This micro-switch connects the relay that starts the cam motor. When the micro-switch has fallen, opens the 

hot gas valve and stops the agitator motor. The compressor continues working for another 20”, then stops, 

and the agitator motor is connected. The cam motor starts to move downwards, making part of the surplus 

water flow to the drain, and dropping the ice cubes, pushed by the ejection plate into the storage bin.  

The pan eventually gets back to its initial position and so starts another production cycle.
