Page 4: Fastice System Overview
Training Manual FastICE System Overview The Zamboni FastICE system creates a sheet of ice that is harder than a sheet of ice produced by conventional towel-based methods. Our system pressurizes and atomizes the ice-making water to convert the water into fine droplets that rapidly freeze to the ice surface. -
Page 5: Fastice Onboard Controls
Training Manual FastICE Onboard Controls The operator controls the real time functions of the system with seven switches in the two switch banks and one rotary knob on the display. The enclosure for the display and switch banks also features a USB port that allows an operator to insert a USB drive into the port immediately after an ice resurfacing session, to download the data from that ice resurfacing session. -
