Ice Sweep

MFI Series

Component Description

●Evaporator: A refrigerated vertical tube filled with water and containing a water seal and auger.

●Auger: A solid stainless steel double spiral auger, it pushes the ice crystals up to the top of the evaporator.

●Water Seal: A two part “face” seal, the top half rotating with the auger, the bottom half stationary, the sealing action being where the two “faces” meet.

●Ice Sweep: A plastic cap with “fingers”. It revolves with the auger to “sweep” the ice into the ice chute.

●Breaker (Divider): Where the ice is compressed and much of the extra water is squeezed out of it before it is discharged into the bin.

●Motor: A split phase motor that drives the gear reducer.

●Thrust Bearings: As the ice is pushed up the evaporator, the auger is thrust down, and pressure from the auger thrust is taken up by this bearing.
