Food safety has to be a primary concern on the mind of every Staten Island restaurant owner. You wouldn’t be in business if it weren’t. The consequences of serving potentially dangerous food are serious, not only to your patrons’ health, but also for your business:
Serving potentially hazardous food can have serious consequences for your patrons’ health and your business.
Potentially dangerous food can have serious consequences, both for your patrons and your business. A contaminant can be introduced to an ice machine. The ice can preserve them and allow them the opportunity to reproduce. The sticky substances produced by dangerous microorganisms when they establish colonies are called biofilms. They can then be very difficult to remove once established. It is hard to get rid mold and other dangerous microorganisms.
It will depend on how often you use the machine and where it is located. For very heavily used units located near a cooking line inside a restaurant kitchen, you may need to clean the machine as often as every month. If you haven’t been doing this properly or regularly enough, it’s possible that mold, slime, scale and other debris have built up inside your machine. This could lead to a buildup of ice crystals.
There are many possible nasties that can survive on ice. These include bacteria that can cause severe harm to people. There is a common misconception that ice is too dangerous to host germs. However, ice can be contaminated with bacteria that can survive in cold temperatures. Ingestion of dirty, frozen ice can lead to unexpected cases such as cholera and salmonella.
It is easy to overlook the risks of poor maintenance of your ice machine, as we don’t usually think of it as food. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does consider ice food. Ice is handled and consumed by your staff. And if your ice is contaminated, you won’t even know it until it’s too late. Although your ice may look, smell, and taste fine, it could still contain dangerous microorganisms. Federal law mandates that your ice machines be maintained clean. If you’re found to be in violation, you could be hit with fines of up to $500,000.
In order to avoid the expensive and difficult aftermath of contaminated water, it is essential that you maintain your machine.
The refrigeration system that powers every commercial ice maker is similar to the one found in a freezer. A compressor pushes the refrigerant (a liquid that cools rapidly and has a very low melting point) through a narrow tube, which is known as the condenser. It is a gas when it reaches that area. However, it’s cooled by the condenser. Water or outside air are used to cool it. That cooling causes it to – appropriately enough – condense into a liquid. The liquid passes through an expansion valve before it is sent to the evaporator. There, it is re-evaporated back into a solid. The liquid absorbs heat from surrounding metal. The warm gas then returns to the compressor where it begins the whole process over again.
In the case of a commercial ice machine that produces cubes or half cubes, the evaporator is akin to the ice cube tray you’d use at home, though this one is big, metal, and stands up on its end. That positioning means a worker doesn’t have to try to flex the tray to get the cubes loose like you might do at home.
The system creates ice using a method that is not common in commercial icemakers. This can be alarming for those who aren’t familiar with them and/or cause concern among those who use it. A pump flows gallons of water in continuous streams over the evaporator. It’s perfectly normal. The formation of ice crystals occurs as the water flows on top of the metal. They are social animals and invite other water molecules to chill with them. As the party grows, so does their ice cube count, which fills the entire space in the evaporator plates.
Different ice machines manufacturers may have different approaches to the next steps. The system senses fullness of the trays and stops water pouring over the plate. Each cube is connected to the evaporator plate by a thin sheet ice. Some commercial ice machines can push the cubes out using a small piston to tap the tray. Others heat the evaporator plates, which causes enough melting to loosen the sheet. Both cases see the mass of cubes falling into the waiting basket, with most breaking down upon impact. However, there may be some intact sections.
Ice can cause serious damage to your ice machine. If your ice maker is damaged, it can become very costly to repair. You may end up with broken components due to ice buildup. There are ways to tell when an Ice Machine freezes up. This will allow you to prevent further damage.
Although there are many causes of freeze ups, there are some things that you need to be aware of.
Ice makers are formed when the ice cannot be released from the evaporator. The ice becomes massive as water flows over it. If your icemaker freezes up, it may prevent you from dropping ice. Or, it could grow large enough to cause damage to the evaporator. This can lead to costly repairs.
Scale is caused when your icemaker has hard water. Calcium and magnesium are formed and adhere to surfaces where water is continuously flowing. You may have noticed scale around your faucet and on your shower tiles if you live in an area that has hard water.
It is best to have your machine cleaned by a professional regularly to remove any scale. If you live near hard water, a water softener and phosphate filters can help reduce scale in your machine.
