STEP 3: INSTALLATION OF PIPE FOR ICE DROPPING TO SILO
The ice comes out through the circular opening of the evaporator and falls by gravity. Being sub-
cooled flake ice, from -5ºC to -7ºC, with a thickness of 1.2 mm to 3 mm, it inclines to come out
(by the rotation of the milling cutter that causes the ice to fall from the evaporator wall). You
have to make a drop to drive the ice into the box.
It is usually a hopper outlet and then flow into the silo. It can be in stainless or food PVC.
The drop must have an adequate slope, so do not make an exit of more than 30% to prevent the
ice from caking.
