Nickel-Safe Cleaning for Commercial Ice Machines

Nickel-plated evaporators require careful consideration when selecting an ice machine cleaner. More aggressive cleaning chemistry may not be appropriate for every equipment material.

Eco Safeway's nickel-safe formulation is designed for commercial ice-machine cleaning where nickel compatibility, non-corrosive cleaning and mineral-scale removal are important considerations.

The result is a commercial ice machine cleaner designed to address routine scale and buildup without relying on unnecessarily aggressive cleaning chemistry.

What Does Ice Machine Cleaner Remove?

Mineral deposits can accumulate inside ice-making equipment as water circulates through the system. Hard-water conditions can contribute to calcium, lime and other mineral scale.

Eco Safeway Ice Machine Cleaner & Descaler is formulated to address:

Calcium and Limescale

Helps remove calcium deposits, limescale and other mineral buildup that can accumulate on ice-machine components.

Mineral Scale

Designed to break down mineral deposits associated with hard-water conditions and routine ice-machine operation.

Organic Buildup

The formulation is also designed to help remove organic buildup and bio-slime.

Important: Cleaning mineral deposits and sanitizing an ice machine are not necessarily the same procedure. Follow the equipment manufacturer's cleaning and sanitation requirements.

Material Compatibility Matters

Commercial ice machines may contain several different materials. When choosing an ice machine cleaner, consider the compatibility of the cleaning chemistry with the equipment.

Nickel-Plated Evaporators

Nickel-plated evaporator surfaces are one of the most important considerations when selecting an ice machine cleaner. Eco Safeway's formulation is designed with nickel-plated components in mind.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is commonly used throughout commercial ice-making equipment. The cleaner should be appropriate for the specific equipment and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Seals and Gaskets

Ice machines contain seals, gaskets and other elastomeric components. Cleaner selection should take these materials into consideration.

Plastics and Tubing

Water lines, tubing and other components may contain plastics or polymers. Always consider the specific materials used in the equipment.

Food-Contact Surfaces

Ice-making equipment contains surfaces that can come into contact with ice and water used to produce ice. Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning, rinsing and sanitation procedures before returning the machine to service.

No cleaning product should be assumed to be universally compatible with every machine or every material. Always follow the specific equipment manufacturer's instructions.
