Engineering Guidelines 

Location Requirements 

Howe Rapid Freeze Ice Flakers are designed to 
operate in ambient room temperatures 
between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F (38°C). 

 

Minimum Ambient 

Temperature 

Maximum Ambient 

Temperature 

 

50°F (10°C) 

100°F (38°C) 

 

The Ice Flaker warranty is void if it is installed 
in ambient room temperatures below 50°F 
(10°C)

The Ice Flaker must be located above a sanitary 
sewer floor drain hub or trench drain to ensure 
proper drainage to the floor.   

If installing the Ice Flaker with a Howe Ice Bin, 
ensure that the bin is adequately secured to 
the floor so as to prevent the assembly from 
tipping when empty. 

Many designers slope floors to the sanitary 
sewer inlets to manage these wet areas.   

Electrical Requirements 

A dedicated 15 amp, 2 pole, 208-230 volt power 
supply from a field furnished and installed 
disconnect switch is required for each Ice 
Flaker. 

Water Supply Requirements 

Cold water supply to the Ice Flaker must be 
totally separate and unaffected by any local hot 
water supply. 

This cold water supply must be within the range 
of 45°F (7°C) to 90°F (32°C). 

 

Minimum Water 

Supply Temp. 

Maximum Water 

Supply Temp. 

 

45°F (7°C) 

90°F (32°C) 

 

The cold water supply pressure must be within 
a 20 PSIG (140 kPa) to 60 PSIG (410 kPa) range. 

 

Minimum Water 

Pressure 

Maximum Water 

Pressure 

 

20 PSIG (140 kPa)   60 PSIG (410 kPa)  

 

Straight Reverse Osmosis (RO) treated water 
should never be supplied to the Ice Flaker.
