Patented ice cube production

The WESSAMT developed wave technology ensures dependable functioning and well-formed, crystal-clear, hygienically impeccable hollow ice cones. In each ice-making cycle, the trough in the ice cube maker is automatically filled with a set amount of drinking water.

The water for ice cube-making is rhythmically moved in the trough. This generates quickly moving waves with a high water speed. The water molecules freeze first at the evaporator profiles. Impurities (minerals, dirt particles etc.) remain in the trough. Hygienically impeccable, crystal-clear ice cubes are the result.

Ice-making is automatically ended once the cubes have obtained their defined thickness.

With the end of ice cube production, the remaining water and impurities are rinsed out by tilting the trough and drained off via the draining channels. At the same time, hot gas is directed into the evaporator profiles to thaw the ice cubes. The cubes detach themselves from the profiles and drop into the storage bin.

Then the trough returns to its original position – the next ice-making production sequence begins.

Only the wave technology stands for extremely high dependability – especially in the case of drinking water with a high calcium content. The use of softer water is recommended over and above a certain drinking water hardness.
