Specialty Products

 

Add immediate value to your hockey training facility or team by adding hockey specific training equipment such as a small ice resurfacers or portable ice rink floors (we are the only rep for this one-of-a-kind product in the world).  See below what we offer:


Commercial Portable Aluminum Ice Floors - "HiTran"

Portable Ice Floor as seen at the Winter Classic

The aluminum panel "HiTran" ice rink floors are primarily designed for portable applications. They are the only floors that provide a flat top surface, minimizing the amount of ice thickness required and eliminating the need for any sand or crushed ice, incorporate insulation in the panel, eliminating the need to install loose insulation. The system is designed with quick-couplings eliminating the need of hose clamps and minimizing the labor required on a setup.

These floors can be supplied in two basic types, the parallel flow, which can provide up to a 60' wide ice surface and the series type which can be used for up to a 90' wide surface. The length of the floors is a function of the header size and the heat exchange media flow. These floors are commonly supplied for 40' x 60', 60' x 160', and 90' x 200' surfaces.

The panels are 2.5' in width, 1.75" thick, and weigh approximately 4# per square foot. They can be manufactured in lengths up to 30'. They are designed to operate with either ethylene glycol or propylene glycol heat exchange media.

With the proper capacity chilling system these floors can build up to 1.5" of ice in 18 to 24 hours, and can be installed and operating in as little as 4 hours. The removal of the ice and the floor usually requires about 6 hours.

If a client wishes to establish this rink as a permanent hockey rink this can be done with the proper foundation set-up, board-system and chilling unit.  This type of project can be quoted out based on each company's individual needs. 

NOTE:  These are the exact same floors that were manufactured for the National Hockey League for it's annual Winter Classic hockey game.

Ice Resurfacer Model 3B

This Ice Resurfacer is a small but effective ice machine designed for small rink surfaces

The model 3B is designed to resurface small ice skating surfaces (up to 60' x 160'). The vehicle operates at an approximate speed of 5 mph. The detachable conditioner unit is equipped with a 36" or 48" wide replaceable cutting blade.

The unit is powered by a 24 volt, 1-1/2 HP direct current motor controlled by a solid state speed controller and is connected to four six volt 150 amp hour batteries in series. An automatically controlled, 115 volt AC primary to 24 volt DC, on board, battery charger maintains the charge level when it is connected to the proper AC power source.  A "fuel" gauge is provided on the panel to monitor the charge level of the battery system. An amp meter with color bar is used for motor load.  A switching solenoid system and three position panel switch is installed to enable the unit to be operated in a forward and reverse direction by a selector switch.

The solid state speed controller and the brake are both controlled by the foot pedal. Spring tension holds the brake on when there is no forward pressure on the control pedal (providing dead-man control). By pressing on the heal of the pedal additional braking can be applied.

A 12 volt, DC hydraulic power unit provides the pressure to elevate the reconditioning unit when required. A metering valve is provided in the hydraulic line to the elevating cylinder to control the lowering speed of the conditioning unit.

The stainless steel water tank holds approximately 100 US Gal. of water, and has provision for electric resistance heaters to heat the water if required. A quarter turn valve is provided to allow close control of the amount of water that is required to give an even spread of water on the ice through the towel located behind the resurfacing blade.

The 4.80 x 8 tires are provided with steel studs for traction on the ice.

The actual ice shaving is accomplished by a horizontal blade mounted in the reconditioning unit at the rear of the unit. The depth of the cut and the angle of the blade is adjustable.

The reconditioning unit is provided with two pipe stubs on each side of the top of the unit to accept standard stage weights in the event that the condition for the ice requires additional weight to make the proper cut.

The conditioning unit can be removed by removing the two quick release pins on the connecting link to the conditioning unit and the cam-lock quick coupler on the water hose connected to the water distribution header.
