Crushed Ice Production.
Your P24 or P34 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 will be necessary to first remove the water tank assembly for
unrestricted access. The result is that the ice 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 was wanted. Contact your distributor for more information and complete details.
Length of Ice.
Ice length can be changed by increasing or decreasing the length of the spacer under
the adapter plates. The water tank assembly must be removed for making 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 clearing during the set thawing time and adjust timer accordingly.
! CAUTION !
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
Tube-Ice® machines are available with a Mitsubishi
Fx1N 24MR programmable controller, FX2N-8ER expansion module and a Mitsubishi E1012
Operator interface. The E1012 interface contains a real-time clock and 6 programmable function
keys that allow for easy screen navigation and enhanced machine operation over the standard Tube-
Ice® machine mechanical controls.
NOTE: The E1012 interface replaces the E150 and requires a 24VDC power supply to power the
unit, where the E150 was powered by the PLC itself.
