Ice rake installation

Standard and custom solutions ensure the appropriate fit for your facility and the right capacity to ensure you have ice on-demand, as needed. Optional ice crushers, ice blowers, and ice conveyors can deliver ice of various consistencies throughout your work area. The SFT modular ice raking systems do not require the construction of a refrigerated building with wooden support columns.

They are increasingly popular for retrofitting older ice plants or for new ice plants where wood construction is not practical. The SFT modular ice raking systems are ideal for packaged ice, poultry, seafood and large foodservice operations.

A dynamic and pioneer company which specializes in designing, manufacturing, engineering and service of the best industrial refrigeration equipment and systems, standard and custom-made, for global customers.

Convenient and suitable — designed for any ice plant. All surfaces that contact ice are stainless steel, plastic or galvanized steel. Computer-controlled system for labour-free operation. The products demonstrated here incorporate functionally interrelated features, designed to deliver extended, dependable performance with minimum maintenance. Flexibility built-in to store and discharge any kind of ice: flake, tube, plate, or shell.

Ice delivered to a rake in a below freezing room can have residual moisture removed. The dryer and colder the ice, the easier to handle. Dry ice. Tons of ice can be stored over a period of time and delivered from the rake bin in a short period of time to meet high demands. During the on-peak time, the ice makers can sit idle while ice is available from the ice bin.

This type of electrical load shifting can mean large savings to plant operators. A special load detector device signals the rake assembly to raise automatically according to varying rates of ice build-up in the bin. Also, it may be adjusted for different ice delivery rates. There is less strain and wear on the working equipment; less chance of breakdown; and, most important, less chance to bury the rake.

Another innovative concept. Ice and water can rust equipment, a known fact to everyone in this business. TURBO protects the vital components. To minimize rust and corrosion, all chains, sprockets and other steel components are eletro-coated or hot dip galvanized to produce a minimum maintenance finished product. Storage bin sliding is aluminum to keep the product clean and pure.

The option of stainless steel also can be specified. The built-in flexibility of these products makes this equipment an efficient answer to ice storage for many practical applications. Built to meet most industrial standards. Ice loading and unloading is safe and simple.

Bottom ice blue ice left for sometime will compact and solidify. They offer superior protection against the water that is forced beneath the shingles by an ice dam. Ice and water protector is typically required for low-slope areas and valleys because these roof areas are particularly vulnerable. Homeowners are encouraged to check their local building code as some jurisdictions will have different requirements for use.

The key component of roof ice and water protector is polymer-modified bitumen also known as asphalt. A common feature of most ice and water protectors is the advantage of self-sealing around roofing nails. This feature greatly reduces the possibility of leaks occurring when ice or storms force water underneath the shingles.

No, you cannot install ice and water shield in the rain. The deck must be dry before you start applying the membrane. There are some circumstances where you may put ice and water on the whole deck and some building codes may require it. However, in most circumstances, you should not put ice and water shield on the entire roof deck. Other underlayments typically cost less than ice and water protector, so using them on the rest of the roof is more cost-effective for the homeowner.

However, you should always refer to your local building codes. You do not need to use any permanent fasteners when installing ice and water shield.

Your specific product might call for the use of temporary fasteners to hold the membrane in place, but these are meant to be removed. Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane with an adhesive backing.

It will stick to the roof deck on its own when properly applied. It will also self-seal around the cap nails that your roofers add for the synthetic underlayment and the roofing nails they add for your shingles. In order to calculate your ice and water protector needs, you need to know what width of ice and water protector you need, and the length of the roof that you need to cover.

First, there are a few factors that determine the width you will require. Ice and water protector must reach above the highest expected level of ice dams, which will vary by region and the slope of your roof. The minimum is typically 2 feet 24 inches or 0.

In colder regions, a good practice is to cover the first 3 feet 36 inches or 0. All overhangs should also be covered. In many northern states and provinces, your local building codes will mandate a minimum width of ice and water protector around your eaves, valleys or other features.

Sometimes, they may demand more than 3 feet of coverage. Most ice and water protector products are 3 feet wide. Therefore, if you need 4 feet of coverage, you need to use two full courses of ice and water protector to meet the requirements, even though this will end up covering almost 6 feet.
