AFE325 User Operation The AFE325 is an automatic ice flaked machine. All it requires is cool air, clean water, a drain, and an adequate supply of electrical power. The user must regularly sanitize and clean the machine. Component Location & Function Evaporator. This is a vertical cylinder full of water and refrigerated. Also in the cylinder is a slowly rotating auger. The auger forces the ice up the evaporator walls and compresses it at the top. The resulting flaked ice then falls by gravity in

AFE325 Refrigeration System Operation The AFE325 uses a forced draft air cooled System Characteristics: condenser, capillary tube and hermetic Note: This ice machine has a sealed compressor. The system uses R-134a as a refrigeration system. Tap into the system ONLY refrigerant. High pressure, high temperature when it’s absolutely necessary. After tapping refrigerant is forced thru the condenser where it in, recovery, repair, evacuation and recharging, looses enough heat to condense. The high th

AFE325 Water System Operation: The water system consists of a float valve and reservoir. The water level in the reservoir tank is the same level as that inside the evaporator. Building water supply flows to the float valve and . the float valve opens to add water to the reservoir as water flows out to the evaporator. Inside the evaporator there is a water seal. This seal is the type that has a rotating half and a stationary half. The area where the two seals touch are smooth flat surfaces. When
