CA 2175055

An ice bagger (10) comprises an ice maker (11,12), an ice bagging unit (13) which includes an automatic sanitation system (120), and a merchandiser (14). The ice maker delivers particulate ice into a hopper (15, 16) housed within the ice bagging unit. The ice bagging unit (13) includes a bag carrier (39) which retrieves a bag from a bag supply (24) and opens the bag underneath a delivery chute (19) Communicating with the hopper via an auger (18). A scale (65) supports the bag during its filling to measure the weight of the ice delivered into the bag from the hopper. A heating element (99) then activates to seal the bag closed. Once the bag has been closed, the scale pivots to deliver the sealed bag of ice into the merchandiser while the sealer arm raises to its original position. Additionally, the ice bagger further comprises a sanitizing system (120) which periodically activates to sanitize the hopper.

Une ensacheuse (10) de glace comprend un générateur de glace (11, 12), une unité d'ensachage (13) de la glace qui comprend un système automatique d'assainissement (120), et un distributeur (14). Le générateur de glace achemine de la glace pilée dans une trémie (15, 16) logée à l'intérieur de l'unité d'ensachage (13) de la glace. L'unité d'ensachage (13) de la glace comprend un porte-sac (39) qui prélève un sac dans une réserve de sacs (24) et l'ouvre en-dessous d'une goulotte d'alimentation (19) qui communique avec la trémie par l'intermédiaire d'une vis (18). Une balance (65) porte le sac pendant son remplissage afin de mesurer le poids de glace sortant de la trémie et déposée dans le sac. Un élément chauffant (99) est ensuite activé pour fermer le sac par soudage. Une fois le sac fermé, la balance pivote pour déposer le sac de glace fermé dans le distributeur, pendant que le bras de soudage remonte à sa position initiale. L'ensacheuse de glace comprend en outre un système d'assainissement (120) qui se déclenche périodiquement pour nettoyer la trémie.
