With Spika machines, the model designation is a useful starting point for identifying the correct replacement part. Components that look similar can differ between machine sizes, generations and configurations, so we recommend checking the complete model designation before ordering.
The Spika range can broadly be divided into NG undercounter machines and MS modular ice makers. This distinction is particularly useful when searching for water-system, refrigeration and control components.
Spika NG machines combine the ice-making section and storage bin in one unit. During servicing, attention often goes to components that manage water circulation, ice formation and the production cycle.
Depending on the exact model, replacement parts may include:
The larger Spika MS machines use a modular configuration. This means the ice-producing head is separate from the storage solution, and the parts used can differ considerably from those fitted to the smaller NG machines.
When working on an MS model, check not only the machine number but also whether it is a standard, Slim or Remote version. This can be important when identifying refrigeration and electrical components.
If water is not distributed evenly across the freezing area, the result may be irregular cubes, reduced production or longer operating cycles. For that reason, pumps, spray components, valves and water lines are important service points on Spika machines.
Before replacing a component, also check for scale, blocked nozzles and restricted water flow. A production problem is not always caused by the electronic control system.
A Spika machine has to freeze the water and then release the finished ice correctly. Problems during either stage can affect production. Depending on the fault, technicians may need to inspect sensors, evaporator components, water distribution or the electrical controls governing the cycle.
Using the exact machine identification helps avoid replacing a component with a visually similar part intended for another Spika configuration.
The Spika family includes several machine sizes and configurations. Current model families include:
Older Spika machines can also remain in professional use for many years. When compatible parts are listed for an earlier machine, always use the exact model and product fitment information to confirm suitability.
Earlier Spika generations include model references such as NG 60, NG 90, NG 110 and NG 140. These machines are no longer part of the current ITV range, but model-specific spare parts can still be relevant for maintenance and repair.
For older equipment in particular, the original part reference can be very useful because a component may have been revised or replaced by a later version.
Check the machine data plate first and note the complete model designation. If possible, also compare the number printed or stamped on the original component. Combining these references is generally more reliable than identifying a spare part by appearance alone.
