Self-Cleaning Snowflake Ice Maker

YOMAN factory’s Self-cleaning Snowflake Ice Maker is designed for household use and light food-service applications where compact installation, soft ice texture and straightforward routine maintenance are required.

What Is a Self-cleaning Snowflake Ice Maker?

A Self-cleaning Snowflake Ice Maker is a countertop ice machine that produces soft snowflake-style ice while providing an integrated cleaning cycle for the internal water circuit.

Unlike a basic ice maker that only handles ice production, this type of machine includes a dedicated cleaning program that circulates water through the relevant water-path components to help rinse residual water and loose deposits.

Specifications

Snowflake Ice Texture

The integrated ice-forming roller produces soft, fine-textured snowflake ice. The adjustable roller system allows the operator to select a suitable texture for different menu applications.

Softer ice can be used for dessert-style products and milk-based drinks, while other settings can provide a firmer texture for coffee, tea and fruit beverages.

Actual ice texture depends on roller speed, refrigeration conditions, water temperature and operating parameters.

Self-cleaning Function

The built-in self-cleaning program circulates water through the machine's internal water circuit to help rinse residual water and loose deposits.

How It Works

1. Press the designated cleaning key on the touch panel.

2. The cleaning cycle starts automatically.

3. Water circulates through the relevant internal water-path components.

4. Residual water and loose deposits are rinsed from the circuit.

5. Empty the used water after the cycle is completed.

6. Refill the tank with fresh water before the next ice-making cycle.

The cleaning function is designed for routine flushing. In hard-water areas, manual descaling may still be required according to water quality and operating frequency.

Product Advantages
