NME454, 654 & FME504, 804

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 seal “faces” meet.

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

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

Motor: The motor that drives the gear reducer and auger.

Thrust Bearing: 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.
