FieldCapacityCheck
TheIceFlakerisacontinuousproduction
machineandmakesiceatasteadyrateonce
stabilized.
ACapacityCheckconfirmstheIceFlakerand
refrigerationsettingsarecorrect.
1. Chooseanappropriatelysizedcontainer
andweighitwhileempty.
ContainerWeight Lbs.

2. RuntheIceFlakerfor10minutes.
3. Positionthecontainerbelowthe
openingoftheIceFlaker.
4. Catchthefallingiceinthecontainerfor
exactly15minutes.Be surethatthe
containercatchesalloftheice.
5. Weightheiceandthecont ainer 
togetherin
poundsusinganaccurate
scale.Donotdrainbeforeweighing.
MeasuredWeight Lbs.

6. Subtracttheweightofthecontainer.
MeasuredWeight
(from#5)
‐ContainerWeight‐
(from#1)
=CalculatedWeight = Lbs.

7. Calculatethecapacitybymultiplying
thecalculatedweightby96.
CalculatedWeight
(from#6)
x96 x96
=Capacity = Lbs.per
24hrs.

8. Comparethenumberwiththerated
capacityoftheIceFlaker.Keepinmind
temperaturesoutsidetherated
conditionswillhaveaneffectonthe
capacity.
