GB Sencotel Tap Plunger Seal - Slush Machine Parts

A common cause of slush machine leaks is that seals are not being cleaned and lubricated regularly enough.

It is important to remove the tanks, thoroughly clean them and then lubricate the seals on a weekly basis.

Seals can dry out and will collect dirt, causing slush machine leaks.

The most common seals in a slush machine are:

1. The Rear Gasket Seal - Leaks coming from the rear of the tank and collecting via the escape tube at the base and into the drip tray.
2. The Tap Plunger Seal - Leaks coming from the handles into the drip tray.
3. The Beater Seal - Leaks coming from the underside of the machine.

The Beater Seal in particular is critical to the proper functioning of a slush machine, as if this seal is damaged, slush can reach electrical components resulting in an expensive repair, or even replacement.

Proper cleansing of seals is also vital. The slush tank(s) should be 

removed, followed by the seals and other parts. Seals should then be washed thoroughly using warm soapy water, rinsed and then lightly lubricated, taking care to coat the entire seal.

Manufacturers recommend cleaning a slush machine and its seals on a weekly basis to ensure that the risk of leaks is reduced, extending the life of the machine and ensuring compliance with health and hygiene regulations.
