Icemaker running with- and without 20 ppm salt.
The ice quality and overall perfomance is very much depending on the
water quality.
If you use water with a low content of minerals the ice quality is
very poor and the performance of the iceflaker is low.
If the water has a content of minimum 20 ppm salt the ice quality
improves dramaticaly as yo can see on the second movie.
You can improve the water quality by using BUUS saltmixers Salt-01 or
Salt-02. If the controls are delivered by BUUS it is prepared for
Saltmixers. Ask Peter or Frank
for a price.

In order to make a test you can use ordinary table salt. Use a
spoonfull in the water tank and wait 10-15 minutes for the result.
- If the iceflaker has been running for a long period with poor water
for icemaking it may take a few hours before the surface of the drum
is clean.

Maximum performance from a PAF iceflaker.
If you use 3% saltwater and you have capacity enough you can produce
a lot of ice on a ammonia iceflaker.
This movie shows a PAF iceflaker running at peak perfomance. It made
18000 kg in 24 hours.

Slurry ice on a SC drum
This iscemaker made approx. 2000 kg wet seawater ice for slurry ice. Mix. it with 70 to 80% seawater.
