- Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 18166 [1]
- Component Diagram Reference: Position #11 (Shell Assembly) [1]
- Machine Compatibility: Specifically designed for the air-cooled version of the Brema VM 900 commercial modular ice machine. It is also utilized across several other Brema-manufactured models including the CV 950 and EFM 500. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Primary Function: It traps ambient grease, dust, and lint before they can enter the machine, preventing the internal cooling condenser from clogging. [1]
Maintenance Advice
Because the VM 900 is engineered for high-demand tropical conditions (up to +43°C), keeping this air filter clean is critical to prevent the machine from overheating or reducing its daily 400 kg ice production capacity. [1, 2]
- Slide the filter out from its housing.
- Rinse it under warm water to clear dust and grease buildup.
- Allow it to dry completely before sliding it back into place. [1]
If your filter is torn or the plastic mesh has deteriorated, you can purchase an official replacement from commercial kitchen suppliers by searching for Brema Part 18166. [1]
