Ice making machine

Abstract

An electrolyzed water production system 30 for producing silver ion water containing a silver component by electrolysis of purified water is provided in a water supply conduit 23 for supplying the silver ion water as ice making water to an ice making mechanism 10. After stopping of the ice making mechanism, the silver ion water supplied into the ice making mechanism 10 through the water supply conduit is remained.

1 . An ice making system provided with an ice making, mechanism for freezing ice making water supplied through a water supply conduit for production of ice, comprising an electrolyzed water production system provided to produce silver ion water containing a silver component by electrolysis of ice making water purified by a water purifier disposed in the water supply conduit at the upstream of the ice making mechanism. 
   
   
       2 . An ice making system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the silver ion water produced in the electrolyzed water production system is supplied to the ice making mechanism through the water supply conduit and utilized to sterilize the water supply conduit thereby to maintain the same in a sanitary condition. 
   
   
       3 . An ice making system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the silver ion water produced in die electrolyzed water production system is used as ice making water in the ice making mechanism. 
   
   
       4 . An ice making system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electrolyzed water production system is provided in the water supply conduit or within a water supply tank disposed in the water supply tank. 
   
   
       5 . Chipped, flaked or sleety ice containing a silver component produced in the ice making mechanism claimed in  claim 3 .
