Spanish term
despegue (NOT take off!)
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
This expression comes from the instruction manual for an ice machine. It does NOT refer to starting up the machine, rather to "unsticking" the ice produced from the evaporator. Would "ice removal" be too general here?

separation, detachment, breakaway
Three options with the same meaning. Probably breakaway would be the most suitable one for ice.

or:
A los 50� se da sentido de avance E1 a un empujador que desde el centro del evaporador ayuda a extraer la placa acortando as� el tiempo de despegue y disminuyendo la cantidad de hielo fundido en el mismo.
