Flake ice machines are divided into freshwater flake ice machines and seawater flake ice machines according to the water source. But the freshwater flake ice 

machine also adds a certain proportion of salt water, which is much lower than the concentration of sea water. The purpose of adding salt is to make the ice 

flakes form easier, improve the quality of the ice flakes, make the ice flakes more suitable in size, more visually beautiful, easier to fall off, protect the equipment 

and consume less power. Without salt, the ice caps will have a chance to screech.

How to add salt to the flake ice machine? Press the start/stop button to turn on the flake ice machine, add salt according to a certain ratio, then add brine to the 

brine bucket and mix thoroughly, and then put the electronic brine pump into the liquid pipe of the brine bucket.

After adding salt, observe the operation of the borneol machine and the size of the borneol flakes and ice cubes. If you find that the ice flakes produced by the 

ice machine are relatively cracked, the ice machine will be accompanied by the harsh sound of cutting ice with a skate blade, which indicates that no salt water 

has been added to the water tank. A common problem is that there is air in the water inlet and outlet pipes, which will affect the accuracy of the salt pump.

At this time, the air must be discharged from the pipe. The correct method is: the nozzle of the salt pump outlet pipe sucks in the air. Until you feel salt water in 

your mouth, then watch for water droplets in the outlet tube of the electronic salt water pump. If there are water droplets, that's normal. Then insert the outlet 

tube of the brine pump into the water tank.
