Flake ice use

Flake ice is widely used in food processing, manufacturing, and concrete cooling.

Fishery: Seawater flake ice machine can be installed directly on the fishing boat to make ice using seawater. Salvaged seafood can be quickly frozen and kept fresh, and fishery is one of the most important application areas of flake ice machines worldwide.

Aquatic product processing: Flake ice can reduce the temperature of processing media, washing water, and aquatic products, prevent bacterial growth and keep aquatic products fresh during processing.

Food processing: For example, when mixing or applying the cream twice in bread production, use flake ice to quickly cool down to prevent fermentation.

Poultry meat processing: huge heat will be generated during poultry and meat processing. Flake ice can be used to cool the poultry meat, and at the same time adjust the humidity of the product and improve the quality.

Vegetable distribution and preservation: Nowadays, in order to ensure the safety of vegetables, fruits, and meats, more and more physical methods are used to control the temperature in the storage and transportation of products. Flake ice has a rapid cooling effect, which can create a low temperature and high humidity environment to ensure that the subject is not damaged by bacteria.

Pharmaceutical industry: In many biosynthesis and chemical synthesis experiments, a large amount of ice needs to be added to control the reaction speed and maintain the activity of the organism. Flake ice is hygienic and clean and has a fast cooling speed. It is the most ideal cooling carrier in this industry.

Properties and characteristics of flake ice

Large contact area and fast cooling

Due to the flat shape of flake ice, it has a larger surface area than other ice of the same weight. The larger the contact surface area, the better the cooling effect. For comparison, the minimum surface area of a ton of flake ice is 1579 square meters, and other types of ice such as tube ice and granular ice can only provide 395 to 1294 square meters, so the cooling efficiency of flake ice is higher than tube ice and granular ice. 2 to 5 times.

Low production cost

The production cost of flake ice is very economical. It only needs about 85 kWh of electricity to cool water at 16 degrees Celsius into 1 ton of flake ice.

Excellent food preservation

The texture of flake ice is dry, soft, and without sharp angles, which can protect the packaged food during the refrigerated packaging process. Its flat shape will minimize possible damage to the refrigerated objects.

Mix thoroughly

Due to the huge surface area of flake ice, its heat exchange process is rapid, flake ice can quickly melt into water, take away the heat, and increase humidity for the mixture.

Convenient storage and transportation

Because of the dry texture of flake ice, it is not easy to cause adhesion during low-temperature storage and spiral transportation, and it is easier to store and transport.

1. The actual ice consumption will vary with water temperature and environmental temperature.

2. The standard power supply is 3N-380V/50HZ power supply.

3. The water source is freshwater, which can be ordinary tap water or underground water.

4. The machine should be placed indoors.
