FEED RATE DIAL
o With the unique and varying sizes of pellet and nugget media that can be utilized in the machine,
the feed rate indicator has been simplified to showcase minimal to maximum feed.
o For your specific application and media setup, begin with minimal feed and increase the dial until
you find what setting works best.
o The Pellet and Nugget Shaving kit is designed to work with nozzles that are 30 scfm (0.85 m3 /min)
or greater. It is not advised for nozzles less than 30 scfm. Check with your sales or service
representative concerning nozzles that operate at 30 scfm (0.85m3/min) or greater to understand
the best performance setup for your system.
PUSHER PLATE
o A unique pusher plate provides more surface area to ensure consistent pellet and nugget media
feeding.
o The pusher plate is designed to work optimally with pellets and nuggets. If using blocks, a 6x6 in.
(150x150 mm) block is recommended. Blocks smaller than 5x5 in. (125x125 mm) will not feed
effectively in the machine.
Pellet and Nugget Shaving Troubleshooting
1. Is the trough and/or shaver wheel blades covered with water ice buildup?
Use compressed air nozzle to clear trough area of excess moisture or remaining dry ice before
startup, refill, and shut down.
2. Is ice bonding to the trough wall and restricting movement of pusher plate?
Move pusher plate to middle of trough prior to filling with pellets/nuggets to reduce amount of dry
ice bonding to trough.
