Indicators for de-icing, water shortage, and faults are also present.

3.2 Ice Making Process

The machine can produce over 450 lbs of ice within 24 hours and store up to 300 lbs. Approximately 156 ice cubes are produced every 5-15 minutes. The process is highly efficient with low water and energy consumption.

Image showing different ice cube sizes (thin, medium, thick) produced by the machine. — Figure 3.3: The ice maker allows for adjustable ice cube sizes, with production times ranging from 5-10 minutes for thin ice to 15-20 minutes for thick ice.

3.3 Ice Storage and Dispensing

The integrated storage bin can hold up to 300 lbs of ice. A stainless steel ice scoop is included for convenient ice retrieval. The bin features a food-grade PP liner and a thickened cyclopentane insulation layer to prevent ice melting for up to 8 hours.
