FEM has introduced two new ice machine water filtration systems.

Manufactured by American company Pentair Everpure, the filtration systems target common issues such as scale build-up, off-tastes and odours in ice and bacterial contamination. The range includes two types of systems – Pre-Coat Media and Fibredyne – each available in different sizes to match various machine capacities.

The Pre-Coat Media system uses Micro-Pure media with Agion antibacterial protection and pre-coat technology to trap particles as small as ½ micron. It is available in two sizes, with the largest supporting ice cubes producing up to 255kg and ice flakers up to 435kg.

The Fibredyne system offers submicron filtration and reduces contaminants like chlorine, which can affect the taste and smell of ice. Its largest model is suitable for ice cubers producing up to 425kg and flakers up to 725kg. Both systems are designed to inhibit bacterial growth and protect machine components.

Replacement cartridges are available for each model. The Pre-Coat Media cartridge lasts up to six months, while the Fibredyne cartridge can last up to a year.
