Crushed Ice Production
Your P24A/P34A 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. The
following modifications are required:
1. Remove the existing cutter adapter plate and install new adapter plates for crushed ice.
2. Remove the existing tines disc assembly and install new crushed ice disc assembly.
3. Remove the existing ice shield and scraper and install new shield and scraper.
4. Readjust the freezer pressure switch to produce ice 3/16”-1/4” thick for crushed ice.
To remove and install cutter parts, it is necessary to remove the water tank assembly for unrestricted
access. The result is ice that is approximately 1/2” long and frozen only 3/16-1/4” thick. A
modification of this type is not one you would want to make every time a temporary change to
crushed ice is wanted. Contact your distributor for more information and complete details.
Length of Ice
. Ice length can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the length of the spacer under
the adapter plates. The water tank assembly must be removed for this modification. When installing
the adapter plates, make sure the horizontal dimension from the cutter blade edge to the edge of the
adapter plate is as follows:
7/8” space for 1” tubes
1 1/8” space for 1 1/4” tubes
1 3/8” space for 1 1/2” tubes
See Figure 9-6 for illustration of this critical adjustment.
! CAUTION !
Always witness several ice making cycles after making conversions or modifications, to make
sure all ice is clearing during the set thawing time. Adjust timer accordingly.
