Ice Supply
The BP360 is designed to feed ice automatically into the compacting chamber. The machine control panel is supplied
with terminals to connect the ice block press to the ice supply system. These terminals allow the BP360 to start and stop
the ice supply system based on the operational state of the machine.
A specially designed ice hopper is included on the BP360 to allow the machine to receive the correct amount of ice
fragments to compact the block and to release freely on each cycle. For the automatic feed feature to function reliably,
all of the ice supplied for the next block cycle must be in the hopper. No ice should be in any transition between the ice
supply system and the ice hopper. Any ice in one of these transitions will cause the BP360 to jam.
Ensure that operator access to the ice hopper is not possible during operation
To ensure operator safety, install fully enclosed transition pieces between
Ice Cut-Off Slide
The ice cut-off slide sets the volumetric measurement of ice fragments that will form the solid block inside of the
machine. Four height settings are provided as slots in the side of the ice hopper. Check that the cut off slide is properly
aligned to one of these slots before starting operation.
Installed on the machine from the factory is a clear plastic guard that surrounds the ice cut-off slide. This guard must
remain in place at all times during operation to avoid serious physical injury. Access to the rear of the slide is made
available for the purpose of setting the desired slide height; however, the slide height should NEVER be adjusted while
the machine is running.
Light Intensity
Cycle control of the BP360 is achieved through a set of mechanical limit switches and a photovoltaic sensor. Operation
of the photovoltaic can be affected by the intensity of light in the location of installation. Consider installing light shades
over the ice hopper if the photovoltaic is not properly responding.
