This article reviews how different types of ice makers — block ice, flake ice, and slurry ice machines — can meet the heavy demands of seafood processing. It explains why proper ice selection is critical for freshness, storage, transport, and quality preservation. The text also highlights key strengths of Focusun machines, showing how they deliver stable output, low maintenance, and reliable performance under industrial conditions.

The Critical Role of Flake Ice in Food and Seafood Processing Cooling Cooling efficiency isn’t just some small operational footnote in food and seafood processing—it’s basically the foundation of product quality, safety, and how long the product will last. The moment fish come out of the water or fresh produce gets picked, the clock starts ticking. Temperature control becomes a race against spoilage. Traditional cooling methods, like dumping on bulk ice or relying solely on mechanical refrigeration, often struggle to balance speed, consistency, and keeping the product intact. That’s where a good flake ice generator really proves its worth. With its thin, flat texture, flake ice has turned into something of a game-changer, and once you understand what makes it better than the usual options, it’s obvious why so many modern facilities rely on it. People in the industry often joke, “When did ice suddenly become a food-safety superstar?” The […]

Cold storage has become an essential lifeline for fruit and vegetable suppliers, ensuring freshness, reducing spoilage, and stabilizing supply throughout the entire distribution process. By controlling temperature and humidity, cold storage significantly extends shelf life, improves product quality, and minimizes financial losses caused by spoilage—cutting waste rates from 20–30% to under 5%. It also helps suppliers manage seasonal production fluctuations, maintain market supply during off-seasons, and secure higher profit margins. Beyond cost reduction, cold storage boosts brand credibility, supports food safety standards, and enables suppliers to integrate into modern cold-chain logistics systems. In today’s competitive market, well-equipped cold storage is not merely an operational tool but a critical factor for sustainable growth and long-term competitiveness.

This article focuses on the selection dilemma between CO2 and Freon ice makers, comparing them from three core dimensions: environmental friendliness, ice-making efficiency, and applicable scenarios. It provides professional guidance by incorporating the technical practices and case studies of Ferguson Refrigeration, a leader in the refrigeration industry. While Freon ice makers offer an initial cost advantage in small commercial settings, their high environmental risks lead to policy restrictions. CO2 ice makers, with their zero ozone consumption, low global warming potential, and higher ice-making efficiency in industrial settings, are becoming the trend. Ferguson Refrigeration, leveraging its 18 patented technologies and collaborative R&D system with universities, can provide customized ice-making solutions for different commercial and industrial scenarios. Its case studies, including those at the World Expo and Buckingham Palace, demonstrate its technological authority and adaptability to various applications. The article concludes with selection advice, pointing to the long-term development direction of CO2 ice makers.
