Food safety has to be a primary concern on the mind of every Staten Island restaurant owner. You would not be in business long if it wasn’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, or not doing it properly or frequently enough, it’s likely that you have mold, slime and scale buildup inside your machine that’s contaminating your ice.
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. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does however consider ice food. Your employees handle ice and your customers eat it. If it’s contaminated with bacteria, viruses or mold, it can spread illness as easily as other foods. If your ice becomes contaminated, it will not be obvious until it is 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 refrigerant, a substance that cools readily and has a very low freezing point, is pushed by the compressor through a narrow tube arranged like an accordion that’s called 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. This cooling causes it to condense and become 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.
The evaporator in a commercial ice machine produces half-cubes or cubes. It is similar to an ice cube tray at home but is large and metal and can be raised 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 forms the ice by doing something that may alarm people who are not familiar with commercial ice-making and/or convince them the unit is broken. 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. The party grows as the ice cubes grow, filling all the openings in the evaporatorplate.
Different ice machine manufacturers have different methods of performing the next steps. The system detects that the trays have reached their maximum capacity and stops pouring water on the evaporator plates. 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 result in the cube mass falling into the waiting bin. Most of it will break apart at impact but some pieces may stay intact.
Ice can cause damage to your commercial ice machine, contrary to popular belief. 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 can form and stick to surfaces with water that is constantly 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.
