Automatic Crescent Ice Maker

The automatic crescent ice maker is a micro-computer controlled water-fed ice-making unit oriented for light-commercial use, developed and manufactured by YOMAN. Relying on internal electronic control mainboard, it completes full ice-making logic without manual operation for ice-forming, harvest and auto-stop. Tap-water inlet is supported, and manual water-tank version is optional. It targets tea-drink stores, cocktail bars, homestays and small-size hotels requiring long-term steady ice supply. OEM private-label service is available for cross-border traders to develop self-owned commercial product lines.

Automated Ice - making Workflow

After water source and power are connected, the unit automatically fills water. Once water level reaches requirement, freeze cycle starts and water freezes layer-by-layer on evaporator surface to form crescent ice.

When ice reaches preset thickness, mainboard triggers harvest cycle; hot gas flows into evaporator, ice slides down by gravity into ice bin. Ice-bin sensor sends full-ice signal and the machine pauses ice-making automatically. When ice level drops below threshold, the whole cycle restarts. When preset maintenance cycle arrives, auto water-circuit cleaning runs, then the unit returns to standby status.

Automatic Control Function Analysis

Micro-computer mainboard centrally manages the whole unit, integrating water-level monitoring, full-ice sensing, temperature sensing and fault-alarm modules.

Water-level sensor monitors tank status in real-time; water shortage triggers audible-visual alarm and halts ice-making to protect compressor. Full-ice sensor monitors ice bin volume for auto start-stop.

Temperature probes collect evaporator and ambient temperature to fine-tune cycle duration for varied surroundings. Fault codes show on control panel under abnormal conditions for quick troubleshooting. Pre-programmed logic reduces failures caused by human mis-operation.

Advantages for Commercial Continuous Operation

For commercial business hours, the Automatic Crescent Ice Maker supports long-term intermittent cyclic ice-making without full-time operator. Auto start-stop logic avoids useless idling and helps save energy.

Built-in auto-clean cycles mitigate limescale accumulation under heavy daily-use. Fault-code display lowers communication barriers for non-professional maintenance staff.

Real-world yield may drop under high ambient temperature during long-time running.

The 1.2kg ice bin is only for temporary storage and not suitable for high-traffic large-scale foodservice venues with massive continuous ice consumption.

Note: 15kg/24h is theoretical output under standard lab conditions.

Applications

- Tea - drink & coffee shops: Prepare iced coffee, fruit tea and specialty beverages. Crescent ice melts gently without rapid drink dilution for moderate-footfall daily business.

- Bars & cocktail lounges: Make cocktails; rounded crescent-shape improves drink presentation.

- Homestays & small boutique hotels: For guest-room water bars and public lounge areas; automatic operation cuts back-office maintenance workload.

- Small banquets & casual - dining outlets: Satisfy short-term peak ice demand.

Note: Not recommended for high - consumption sites such as large - chain restaurants or high - volume bars.

FAQ

1.  Q: Can this Automatic Crescent Ice Maker produce continuous 15 - kg ice non - stop 24 - 7 once water is connected?

A: 15kg/24h is theoretical output under standard lab conditions. Real-world performance is affected by ambient and inlet-water temperature. The unit auto-pauses when ice bin reaches1.2kg capacity and restarts after ice is consumed, so non-stop continuous output cannot be achieved.

2.  Q: Is manual cleaning still required under automatic mode?

A: Built-in auto-cleaning cycle is available and recommended to run periodically. Deep manual flushing is still suggested for locations with hard local water to mitigate limescale deposits.

3.  Q: Is customization available? What are MOQ and lead - time?

A: OEM custom logo, voltage and packaging are supported. MOQ for first order is 500 units. Repeat orders can be full-container shipments. Normal production lead-time is around 45 working days after deposit receipt.
