Xinwuxin XIL flake-ice machines · Output, power and discharge

Convert the use profile into a production requirement

The machine table expresses ice output in tonnes per 24 hours; cooling capacity is a separate kW column. For XIL-5T it lists 5 t/24 h, 32.5 kW refrigeration and 20.39 kW total electrical input. For XIL-10T it lists 10 t/24 h, 65 kW refrigeration and 40.72 kW total input. These are supplier schedule values at 25°C ambient and 20°C entering water, not measured site output.

Tell the supplier the amount of ice actually required, its demand by time of day, planned running hours and the hottest simultaneous air/water conditions. Ask for a selected production schedule at those conditions, including start-up, cleaning and downtime assumptions. Do not substitute refrigeration kW for daily ice mass or assume that the full nameplate daily quantity will always be available when the process needs it.

Close water, electrical and refrigeration interfaces

The original schedule gives evaporation −28°C and condensation 36°C. Those are refrigeration-cycle conditions; they are not the final flake temperature or the inlet-water/ambient temperatures. The body lists three-phase supply alternatives including 380 V/50 Hz, 220 V/60 Hz, 380 V/60 Hz and 460 V/60 Hz. Have the quotation identify one selected supply and starting/control arrangement.

The XIL-10T row separates 36.8 kW compressor input from 40.72 kW total input. Request the complete load schedule for pumps, drives, condenser auxiliaries and any remote equipment. Some table rows have inconsistent Chinese/English pump/reducer labels, so the directory does not guess which motor a disputed label means. R404A and listed R22/R717/R507 alternatives likewise need an issued refrigerant selection and destination-specific engineering review; they are not field-interchangeability instructions.

Identify what is delivered with the ice machine

The original supplier illustration shows a separate heat-rejection enclosure, refrigeration assembly and vertical ice-making drum connected by pipes. It is a family illustration, not proof that every model price includes those components. The body describes an internal blade and automatic water supply, but it does not provide a complete piping diagram or identify the compressor and evaporator maker for each row.

Request the exact refrigeration package, condenser option, water-feed equipment, drain connections and ice-discharge interface. Specify whether the order includes a bin, delivery conveyor or only the ice generator. Xinwuxin’s separate container system describes raked storage and screw conveying; those functions must not be assumed from the basic XIL machine page.

Specify product-contact requirements and maintenance access

The website promotes thin, smooth flakes and use with foods or pharmaceutical processes, but no reviewed material declaration, hygienic design dossier or independently checked certification establishes suitability for a specific product. Ask for water-quality limits, actual product-contact materials, cleaning/disinfection instructions and any evidence required by the buyer’s process. The marketing word ‘clean’ is not a compliance finding.

Confirm blade/drum inspection, wear-part replacement, access around the generator and condenser maintenance. The XIL-10T size row gives 3200 × 2050 × 1870 mm and 1980 kg. Require an issued model drawing, discharge elevation, dry/filled mass and lifting plan before fitting the equipment into a process line. No universal maintenance interval or spare-part lead time was verified.

Agree an output test that matches the order

Measure ice mass over an agreed duration while recording water temperature, ambient/heat-rejection conditions, selected supply and all included electrical loads. Establish flake quality/thickness and discharge behaviour under the chosen operating point, plus the required protective and restart tests. The source’s 1.6–2.3 mm statement should be confirmed for the selected unit, not treated as an independently tested result.

The reviewed tables contain eight model entries through XIL-25T; size variants remain together on this family page. Current price, availability, delivered daily output and independently verified customer results are unknown. A comparable enquiry includes the actual production duty and utility/package boundary instead of asking only for the cheapest ‘tonnage’.

1. Issue daily and peak ice demand

   Specify water and air conditions, operating hours and the process consumption profile.

2. Freeze utility and discharge scope

   Select supply, refrigerant, heat rejection, bin/conveyor boundary and product-contact requirements.

3. Verify selected output

   Agree measured production, total electrical input, ice condition and protective tests at a documented operating point.
