The Ice Maker Compressor is a specialized refrigeration solution designed to meet the demanding needs of commercial ice production. Built with a high-speed scroll mechanism, this compressor delivers consistent cooling capacity from 2 to 5 tons, maintaining evaporator temperatures as low as -35°C for rapid ice formation. The cast iron crankcase and stainless steel valves resist corrosion from moisture-rich environments, while the direct-drive induction motor ensures 95% energy efficiency at full load. A built-in liquid-cooled condenser pre-cooler reduces discharge temperature by 15%, enhancing reliability in high-humidity settings. Weighing 38kg with a 400x350x350mm form factor, it integrates seamlessly with flake, cube, and tube ice machines.
Hyper-Freeze Technology: Optimized valve timing and increased suction port size boost cooling efficiency by 20% compared to traditional piston compressors.
Dual-Voltage Compatibility: Operates on 220V/50Hz or 110V/60Hz with automatic phase detection, ideal for global commercial applications.
Smart Defrost Control: Thermal sensors trigger defrost cycles only when necessary, reducing energy waste during non-production hours.
Heavy-Duty Bearings: Triple-lobed roller bearings rated for 10,000 hours of continuous operation, minimizing downtime in 24/7 ice production facilities.
Integrated Safety Suite: Pressure transducers and motor windings monitors shut down the unit during overpressure or overload, with fault codes displayed via an external LED panel.
Ideal for commercial ice makers in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and industrial cooling plants. Its low-temperature performance excels in producing clear ice, flake ice for seafood preservation, and cube ice for beverage service. The compressor's humidity resistance makes it suitable for coastal regions or indoor environments with high moisture levels. It pairs with both water-cooled and air-cooled condensers, offering flexibility in system design for small-scale counterside ice machines to large industrial ice banks.
Can it produce ice below -40°C?
The standard model is rated for -35°C. For lower temperatures, a two-stage compression kit (sold separately) can extend the range to -50°C.
What is the recommended ambient temperature range?
Operates optimally between 10°C and 40°C. Above 40°C, use an auxiliary fan or water spray system to cool the condenser.
Does it require a separate oil separator?
No—an internal oil retention device maintains proper lubrication in the refrigeration loop, even in long-pipe installations exceeding 15 meters.
How quickly can it recover from a defrost cycle?
Typical recovery time is 8–10 minutes, depending on ambient conditions. The pre-cooler shortens this by 30% compared to non-cooled models.
