Bitzer 12HP Compressor Specifications
At the heart of the KP20 lies the Bitzer 4PES-12Y, a 12HP equivalent, 4-cylinder semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. The choice of a semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor is deliberate: it provides a fully serviceable engine designed for long-term durability, unlike sealed components that require complete replacement upon failure.
Here are the key performance metrics that matter for your operation:
- Displacement: Delivers 48.50 cubic meters per hour displacement, ensuring powerful refrigerant flow even under heavy load.
- Industrial Design: Функции 4 cylinders for balanced operation, adhering to strict EN12900 standards.
- Heavy-Duty Build: With a weight of 145 kg and high operating pressure tolerances, this compressor is engineered to run 24/7.
- Longevity: Includes provisions for superheat management, which protects the motor during the long, demanding cycles typical in food processing facilities.
Designed for refrigerants such as R404A and R507A, it operates on standard industrial power, making it a robust and efficient solution for continuous refrigeration.
Installation Footprint and Site Planning
The KP20 machine unit measures 1600mm in length, 1350mm in width, and 1090mm in height. While the bare floor area is approximately 2.16 square meters, proper planning requires more than just checking the physical dimensions.
Physical Dimensions and Weight
Because the unit weighs 680 кг, you must install it on a reinforced concrete slab or a structural steel frame capable of handling the load. Its 1350 mm width positions it as wider than many comparable 2-ton машины для чешуйчатого льда, so measuring your facility layout before delivery is a critical step to avoid installation delays.
Utility Requirements: Water and Air
To ensure long-term performance, consider these two often-overlooked factors:
- Ventilation: As an air-cooled unit, the KP20 rejects heat into its environment. Allow at least 300 mm of clearance above and around the unit for proper airflow.
- Качество воды: We strongly recommend installing a water filtration system on the supply line. Removing sediment and scale-causing minerals will protect the evaporator drum and ensure the ice remains sanitary and clear.
KOLLER KP20: Industrial Flake Ice for Peak Freshness & Эффективность
Stationary Evaporator Technology for Zero Leakage
One of the most common failure points in traditional ice machines is the refrigerant seal on rotating drums. The Koller KP20 eliminates this risk entirely by using a stationary evaporator design.
Eliminating the Root Cause of Leaks
Unlike systems where the drum spins, the KP20’s drum remains fixed while the ice knife rotates. This design removes the need for rotating refrigerant seals. By taking moving parts out of the refrigeration circuit, we effectively eliminate the seal wear that typically causes refrigerant leaks.
Materials Built to Last
Material quality is equally vital for longevity. The system utilizes high-grade corrosion-resistant alloys and heavy-wall tubing to ensure structural integrity. The Crosscool Enhanced Tube Technology features internally embossed tubes that improve heat transfer while reducing the overall volume of refrigerant needed. With a standard design pressure of 300 psig and full ASME compliance, these evaporators handle rigorous industrial use with ease.
Electrical Specifications and Power Supply
The Koller KP20 flake ice machine requires a 380V, 50Гц, 3-phase power supply, operating within a 380V-420V range. This is suitable for industrial applications in regions with 50Hz grids.
- Total Installed Power: ~9.85 kW. Use this figure for sizing your circuit breaker.
- Operating Consumption: The compressor typically draws around 7.1 kW under standard operating conditions. Use this figure for calculating daily electricity costs.
This voltage range ensures seamless integration into existing industrial power grids across Europe and Asia, eliminating the need for costly external transformers. For regions with different grid standards, alternative voltage options are available upon request to match your local infrastructure.
Commercial and Industrial Application Scenarios
With a 2000 kg daily capacity, the KP20 is engineered for high, steady ice demand. This machine directly supports critical preservation stages where strict temperature control is mandatory.
- Переработка пищевых продуктов: Rapidly reduces temperature during meat mixing or grinding to prevent bacterial growth and maintain product texture.
- Fisheries and Seafood: Essential for dockside operations or wholesale distribution centers where keeping the catch at optimal sub-zero temperatures directly impacts market value.
- Industrial Cooling: Provides precise temperature control via ice addition for chemical processing or concrete batching plants.
