Commercial Ice Machine Probes

There are various probes that are installed in commercial ice machines to aid in the proper and safe operation of the machines. These probes observe different parameters of the ice-making process and provide useful information to the control system of the machine. The probes that are used in commercial ice machines include water probes, water level probes, ice thickness probes, ice probes, and sensor probes. A water probe is employed to measure the temperature of the water that is used in making ice through the ice-making machine, to determine if the water is at the right temperature for making ice. A water level probe makes sure that the water level in the reservoir of the machine is always at the right level and not to exceed or below the recommended level. An ice thickness probe measures the thickness of the ice being produced and the control system of the machine adjusts the freezing process to produce the desired thickness of the ice. An ice probe is used to check whether there is ice in the bin of the machine and whether the bin is full or empty so that the machine can be set to stop producing ice when the bin is full and to start producing ice when the bin is empty. An ice maker sensor probe is a general term that is used to refer to any probe that is used to measure an aspect of the ice-making process. These probes are used in Manitowoc and Ice-O-Matic commercial ice machines among other manufacturers. These probes give the machine’s control system correct and dependable data for its proper and secure functioning.
