Times have changed since ITV opened their headquarters in Valencia, and technology has also done so. Therefore, ITV has used it to renew their products and improve them, ready to offer the best efficiency that can be expected from an ice maker.
Operation of an ice maker
Depending on the manufacturer, the ice makers work can vary, but in the vast majority, the basic operation of making ice cubes is the following:
- All ice makers have (or should have) a water inlet, which pours the water on a tray with a different format in each case, depending on the ice cube shape we need.
- The tray with water is frozen by layers, until it is completely frozen and ice cubes are formed. This process usually lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the ice maker and the ice shape to get.
- Once the tray is perfectly frozen, the temperature rises a few degrees, which allows ice cubes to separate from the tray that holds them and fall to the place where they are sorted.
- Once ice cubes are sorted in the repository, they will be ready for the user to lift the lead and use the ice cubes.

With an ice maker this is no longer a problem, thanks to internal filters that purify the water before converting it into ice.
