Ice Machine Pump Motor

If you're looking for a high-performance ice machine pump motor that can handle any challenge, look no further than the Ice Machine Pumps powered by the ECY series motors. This innovative motor is specially designed to meet the demanding requirements of commercial and industrial ice machines, offering superior performance, efficiency, and durability.

The ECY series motor is the result of years of research and development, combining the best features of AC and DC motors into one compact and powerful package. The ECY series motor uses an electronically commutated (EC) motor and can be supplied with variable speed control via PWM or 0-10VDC analog or up to three preset speeds. At the heart of the ECY series motors lies a commitment to energy efficiency. By utilizing advanced technology and high-quality materials, this motor significantly reduces input power, leading to lower operational costs and environmental impact.

Reducing Risk of Failure and Maintenance Costs

Unlike conventional AC motors, the ECY series motors do not require a capacitor or a relay, which reduces the risk of failure and maintenance costs. The ECY series motors also have a built-in thermal protection system, which prevents overheating and extends the lifespan of the motor. The ECY series motors are compatible with most ice machine brands and models, and EC Fans and Drives will work with our OEM customers to provide a custom product so that when it arrives at your facility it can be easily installed into your equipment. For example, the pump assembly can be supplied with a customer bespoke stainless-steel bracket for easy fitment and the motor cable can be supplied to customer requirements and include customer-specific connectors / molded plugs.

With the ECY series motors, you can enjoy the benefits of a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective ice machine pump motor that will keep your business running smoothly and profitably. Whether you need ice for food service, hospitality, healthcare, or any other industry, the ECY series motors can handle it all.

Certifications

EC fans & Drives products have been 3rd party tested and certified (TUV) to satisfy European standard EN 60335-2-89 and ATEX approval to EN IEC 60079, therefore, giving the customer confidence that our products can be used safely in flammable refrigerant systems (R-290). Furthermore, our products have been 3rd party tested and certified to satisfy global safety and emissions approvals and carry the UL/CUL, TUV, CE, and UKCA safety marks.

Why Choose Ice Machine Pumps That Utilize the ECY Series Motors?

• It offers up to 50-60% energy savings compared to traditional AC motors, reducing your operating costs and carbon footprint.
• All plastics used in construction of the ECY Ice pump motor are FDA-approved.
• It provides consistent and precise speed control, allowing you to adjust the ice production according to your needs and preferences.
• It operates quietly and smoothly, minimizing noise and vibration, and enhancing the comfort and safety of your workplace.
• Increases bearing life by using a robust and proven ‘sling washer’ feature which reduces water ingress via capillary action on the motor shaft and incorporates ‘sealed’ ball bearings, therefore, reducing maintenance and saving money on repairs and replacements.
• It improves the system efficiency and helps with Energy Star compliance, by replacing a shaded pole or PSC motor with an EC motor. Shaded pole and PSC motors are inefficient and wasteful, consuming more energy and generating more heat than necessary. By switching to an EC motor, you can reduce the power consumption and heat output of your ice machine and increase its cooling capacity and performance. EC motors are also more environmentally friendly, as they reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the latest energy standards and regulations.

Different ice machine applications may require varying levels of performance and capacity. That's why we offer a range of motor options, including the ECY-30 and ECY-45, to cater to diverse needs. Whether you require a motor with higher flow rates or greater head height capabilities, we have the solution to meet your requirements.

Choosing the Right Motor: ECY-30 vs. ECY-45

Depending on the specific demands of your ice machine application, you may opt for either the ECY-30 or ECY-45 motor to achieve optimal performance and efficiency. While the ECY-30 excels in applications requiring moderate flow rates and head heights, the ECY-45 offers enhanced capabilities for high-demand environments.

• ECY-30: Ideal for applications with flow rates up to 47 liters per minute (12 US gallons per minute) and a head height of 160cm (65 inches). This motor provides efficient and reliable performance for a wide range of ice machine setups, offering a balance of power and efficiency.
• ECY-45: Designed for more demanding applications requiring higher flow rates and head heights. With its increased capacity, the ECY-45 delivers exceptional performance in commercial or industrial settings where productivity and reliability are paramount.

Join the ranks of industry leaders who trust the ECY series motors for their ice machine pumping needs. With its cutting-edge design, unmatched efficiency, and unwavering reliability, this motor sets a new standard for excellence in the field.
