Ice generator ITV 13402/20400

An ITV modular ice maker produces clear, crystalline ice by spraying water onto a copper evaporator. The water freezes on contact, forming individual cubes that are released in cycles. This method ensures consistent shape and clarity, essential for drinks service and food presentation in professional kitchens. The GALA REMOTE 380 kg model operates in cycles, each producing 192 cubes. Water is sprayed onto the evaporator, where it freezes into ice. Once the ice reaches the correct thickness, the evaporator briefly warms, releasing the cubes into the storage bin below. The process repeats automatically, controlled by a timer and thermostat, allowing continuous production without manual intervention. To use the ice maker, connect the water supply within the specified pressure range and ensure the air temperature remains between 5 and 40 °C. The external on/off switch starts the production cycle. The unit requires a water softener and filter to maintain ice clarity and prevent mineral build-up on the evaporator. The remote condenser, installed separately, dissipates heat generated during the freezing process. The ice maker is constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, providing durability and resistance to corrosion in a kitchen environment. The main unit and remote condenser are designed for straightforward service, with accessible components and low-cost spare parts. This ice maker chills the copper evaporator with R290, letting the machine freeze water into clear cubes without harming the kitchen's ambient air. Controls include a timer and thermostat to regulate the freezing cycle and an external on/off switch for easy operation. The power requirement of 3.3 + 0.2 kW indicates the load on the electrical supply, suitable for a standard three-phase circuit in commercial settings. With a capacity of 380 kg per 24 hours, the ice maker meets the demands of high-volume catering operations. The weight of 170 kg for the main unit and 40 kg for the remote condenser affects installation and positioning, requiring stable flooring and adequate space. The footprint, with dimensions of 1321 x 638 x 978 mm for the main unit and 425 x 746 x 566 mm for the condenser, determines the space needed for installation and ventilation. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the water system to prevent scale build-up, particularly on the copper evaporator. The water filter and softener should be checked and replaced as needed to ensure optimal ice quality. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with appropriate cleaning agents to maintain hygiene standards. The GALA REMOTE 380 kg is an air-cooled model, with the remote condenser positioned separately to manage heat output. This configuration allows flexible installation, particularly in kitchens where space or ventilation is limited. This ice maker is categorised under modular ice production equipment, designed for integration into professional catering setups where consistent ice supply is critical.
