GENERAL INSTALLATION
“This manual has been prepared to acquaint the serviceman with the
Installation, operation, maintenanes snd service procedures recon
‘mended by Frick Company for tie SA Shel oe Makers,
DESCRIPTION — The Frick ShelLice Makers are automatic ice mak:
Ing units designed to economically produce clear, sold fragmented
fee in large quantities ~ 13 thru 43 tons par 24 hours,
‘The two models of Frick Shl-lee Makers ae similiar in construction
‘and consist basically of a freezing section; harvesting ection and
‘control panel. Each sation i factory assembled for easy installation
The freezing section includes supporting frame, stainless stl resz:
Ing tubes with iqud and gas headers, sccumulstor with fost snitch
level contol, stainless steel drip pan, cil and liquid traps, water dit
bution system, automaticaly operated suction, liquid and hot gee
valves, necessary solenoids and stop valves.

“The control panel i factory wired and includes timer, terminal board
relay restarter mechanism, ice solector switch and pressure gauges
To facilitate handling the freezing snd harvesting sections are ship
od soparataly
‘Gotional festures, available a extra cost, include oversize ice breaker
motor for ice thickness over 3/8 inch and ice nandling equipment.

INSPECTION LOCATION AND FOUNDATIONS
Frick Shl-tce Makar se shipped in two sctions — base assambly The Shell-loo Makar should be located in a convenint area and as
with ice breaker mechanism and water pan; freezing section with
tubes and secumulator. The control panel end other hardware will be
shipped in a separate carton
‘Carefully inspect the shipment for demages on atval, Make 8 note of
any damages on tho carriers bill of lading before signing an Tile sll
claims for damages apainst the carier immociately, Friek Company
Should also be notified as to the nature and extent of any damages

HANDLING
When the Shell-lce Makar arives on the job ste precautions must be
taken to prevent damage to the machine during unloading and ree:
tion. Do not attach hoists or slings to the freezing tubes, These tubes
constructed of No. 16 gauge materil are easily damaged, Protect the
‘tubes at all times during unloading and erection and Keep the wooden
‘sipportng frame and clamps in postion until the unit sin a vertical
Boston init final location. Lifting lugs have been provided to facil
tate handling of the freezing section. Do not attach hols to other
points when transporting the unit,
cose as posible to the place where the ice wil be used. f possible,
the machine should be mounted directly over the ica storage room
‘This eliminates complicated and exponsive conveyor equipment need
1d to transport the ice from the Shellee Maker ta the storaye aea,

‘machine. A steel framework on concrete foundtion is recor mend

It itis necesory to place the Shel-lce Maker on the same level with
‘the storage r00m a sultable conveyor must be used to raise the ice to
‘the proper height for dropping it nto the storage. An enclosed serew
‘ype conveyor i satisfactory Tor this purpose.24052088

IGE STORAGE
It isnot preeties! to store large quantities of fragmentary ie for tong
periods of time, "Shell co” is no exception; however, due to the
Carved surface there i les tendency for Shellie to stick together in
forage, A storage of sufficient size to Hold not more than 3 devs sup-
ly is recommended, Since “Shel Ico" weighs approximately 34 ls
er eubie foot, the storave should be constructed accordingly. Be
{ure to insulate the storage with urethane or ingulation equivalent
to retard melting and sticking of the ice
It is nat resommended to store "Sh Lee ins bin with sides sloping
{toward a amaler opening in the Bottom. After several eves the ice
‘ll bridge over making removal difieult.Storags with vertical sides

ERECTION
All erection and other sstembly work should be carried out by qual
ited riggers and eractors who ore familiar with refrigeration and ice
‘making equipment. [tf highly recommended that this work be done
by # Frick Factor to insure satisfactory installation and adjustment of
‘your new Frick Shales Maker.
Frick Shel-lce Makers are shipped in two sections — base assembly
with fee breaker and water box; freezing soction with tubes and ac
Cumulator. Erection drewings are furnished with each machine ond
Should be followed crefly. It is necesary to mount the base 3s-

tea, soe ralls or plate should be plaead under the mounting legs
St rdht angee to the root members to distribute the weight of the
‘machine and prevent the mounting les ftom damaging the roofing
‘material. The steel rails should atleast be 6 inches wide and extend
the entre length of the Shell-ce Maker base so that two ofthe four
‘mounting legs rest on each rail. Be sure to level the machine bofore
fnchoring oF seeuting with suitable anchor bots.

‘Attachthe hoisting equipment securely to the lifting lugs on the 2c-
‘umulator and rate the freezing section to Its proper position over

RESTARTING SHAFT
‘Now install the restorting device (Fa. 1) in its proper position onthe
frame ae shown on the drawing Inert the long end of the shaft (Fig
2} through the opening in the back of the contol panel. Be sure the
water defeeting rubber washers are in place
Bolt the bearing brackets in place and tighten al bolts. Adjust the
thrust clamps on each end ofthe restarting shaft (Fi 2) for minimum
tend movement of this shaft. 1/16” movement is desirable, Check
ster adjusting to Insure that there is no binding of this shaft
‘Aajust the feler arms on the restartr shaft so that ll feelers touch
‘the tubes at the some time. This is best accomplished by adjusting
‘wo end feeler arms first Tighten all clamping bolts securely.
