Flake ice machine: the ideal choice for efficient refrigeration

Flake ice machine is an efficient ice-making equipment widely used in food processing, fishery preservation, concrete cooling, chemical industry and supermarket cold chain. Its unique ice-making method can produce thin and uniform flake ice, with good cooling effect and long storage time, so it is widely recognized in all walks of life.

Flake ice is an irregular thin flake ice with a thickness of generally between 1.5mm and 2.2mm. It has the following significant advantages:
Fast cooling: Flake ice has a large specific surface area and a wide contact area with the cooled items, which can quickly reduce the temperature and improve the cooling efficiency.
Strong fluidity: Flake ice will not stick to each other, and is easy to transport, store and use, which is convenient for various industries.
Suitable temperature: The temperature of flake ice is usually maintained at -5℃ to -10℃, which can effectively cool without causing overcooling damage to food or other items.
Energy saving and environmental protection: Compared with traditional block ice, the production process of flake ice machine is more energy-saving, while reducing the link of manual ice crushing and improving work efficiency.

The flake ice machine is mainly composed of an evaporator, a refrigeration system, a drive device and a control system. Its core component, the evaporator, usually adopts a vertical or horizontal cylindrical design. Water forms a uniform water film on the inner wall of the evaporator. The water film is frozen into a thin ice layer through the rapid cooling of the refrigeration system. Subsequently, the blade or mechanical device scrapes off the thin ice to form flake ice and collect it in the ice storage bin. The whole process is highly automated, easy to operate and has high production efficiency.

Application fields of flake ice machine
Food processing and preservation: widely used in the processing of meat, aquatic products, fruits and vegetables to keep food fresh and extend the shelf life.
Aquatic industry: used in fishing boats or aquatic markets to cool and preserve seafood to prevent fish from spoiling.
Concrete cooling: in the construction of large-scale water conservancy, bridges, tunnels and other projects, flake ice is used to reduce the temperature of concrete, prevent cracks and improve the quality of the project.
Chemical industry: in the chemical production process, flake ice can be used as a low-temperature cooling medium to maintain reaction stability.
Supermarkets and cold chains: used for food display and refrigeration to improve the preservation effect of fresh products.
