Scotsman MAR1400 - Manual (Page 6)

General information
Each MAR1400 or MAR2000 is an “Evaporating
Unit Section”, complete with driving mechanism
and control devices, encased in a stainless steel
cabinet. They only require a condensing unit to
make a complete scale-ice maker system.
Because they must be remotely connected to a
properly sized Condensing Unit, it is very important
that the right type and size of all the components
be used to complete the refrigerant system. It is
also very important that highly skilled refrigeration
technicians be used to complete the system by
making the refrigerant, water supply, drain and
electrical connections.
APPLICATIONS
The MAR units produce scale ice. Scale ice is a
dryer and colder form of the familiar flake ice. The
MAR split unit is a remote low side system. A
remote low side allows more flexibility in
placement of the ice machine section.
Some specific applications include:
a) Fishing Vessels
b) Fish Markets and Fish Processing Plants
c) Supermarkets
d) Meat packaging plants
Basically they can go in any place where there is a
limited space situation or where the condensing
unit (compressor/condenser) must be located in a
room where noise and heat is not objectionable.
MAR Split can be set to produce “THICK ICE”
generally used in the fishing industry or the
MAR1400 can be set to produce “THIN ICE”
generally used in the meat processing industry.
Standard versions are set for “THICK ICE”
production (about 2 mm or 5/64” thickness) and for
fresh water operation.
