Industry News Updates from around the rink PHOTOS: COURTESY OF MIKE CURTI, ZAMBONI, MAYEKAWA/MYCOM HEY GANG, WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME DRASTIC CHANGES. OUR ELECTRIC BILLS ARE SKY HIGH. I'M OPEN TO ANY AND ALL IDEAS, WE JUST HAVE TO GO GREEN. WHAT DO YOU THINK, BOSS? ELECTRICITY FREE MACHINE. ONE ISSUE, THE GUY I GOT THEM FROM NEEDS THEM ONE DAY A YEAR. WATCH OUT FOR BLITZEN, HE EATS BURRITOS FOR LUNCH. Zamboni Ice Resurfacer Received Upgrade , Following the successful 2018 introduction of the Zamboni Model 450, the world's first OEM lithium-ion electric powered resurfacer, the team at Zamboni began development of Li-ion technology to update other models. As a result, the world's most popular electric ice resurfacer has received the ultimate upgrade! The 552AC with lithium-ion batteries provides the ability to quickly charge between resurfacings, maintaining power and eliminating the need for lengthy overnight recharging periods. Charge time is generally equivalent to work time. Recharge for about the same amount of time and you're back on the ice. The most exciting news for facility operators may be that the batteries are sealed and do not require watering or maintenance of any kind. In addition to their improved resiliency and longer cycle life, lithium- ion batteries do not release gases during the recharging process and are truly emission-free. Mayekawa/MYCOM system installed at Cabin John Ice Arena , Mayekawa/MYCOM is excited about the installation of an ice arena system that utilizes a MYCOM M-series compressor at Cabin John Ice Arena in Rockville, Md. The new system will serve the NHL- sized and studio rinks of the facility. When the project engineer was asked why he specified the M-series compressor for this package, he said, "I have used the MYCOM compressor for 40 years without a single failure. Being that all our project designs incorporate efficiency measures, the highly-efficient MYCOM M is a natural fit for us." The MYCOM M offers 20 percent more efficiency than the 30-year-old compressors on their original package. That's a win for both of us. For more information on the MYCOM M-series compressor, please email: info@mayekawausa.com or visit mayekawausa.com. 14 / NOVEMBER.DECEMBER.2019 USICERINKS.COM RINK RANGERS by Mike Curti , Cabin John Ice Arena in Rockville, Md., is the latest rink to install MYCOM.
