Ice Probes & Sensors

Commercial ice machines rely on various types of probes to ensure efficient and safe operation. Probes are designed to monitor different aspects of the ice-making process and provide critical information to the machine's control system. Most common types of probes used in commercial ice machines are water probe, water level probe, ice thickness probe, ice probe, sensor probe etc.

A water probe is used to measure the temperature of the water entering the ice machine. This helps ensure that the water is at the appropriate temperature for ice production. A water level probe monitors the level of water in the ice machine's reservoir. This ensures that the water level remains within a safe range and prevents overfilling or underfilling.

An ice thickness probe measures the thickness of the ice being produced. This allows the machine's control system to adjust the freezing cycle and produce ice of the desired thickness. An ice probe is used to detect the presence of ice in the machine's bin. This allows the machine to stop producing ice when the bin is full and resume production when ice is removed.

A sensor probe is a generic term for any type of probe that measures a specific aspect of the ice-making process.

Manitowoc and Ice-O-Matic are two leading manufacturers of commercial ice machines, and both companies use probes in their products. These probes are designed to provide accurate and reliable information to the machine's control system, ensuring that the ice machine operates efficiently and safely.
