What is Flake Ice?
Ice production is carried out using different methods such as flake ice, block ice, cube ice, and tube ice. These types are produced by different industrial ice machines.
Flake ice is formed on a vertical cylindrical drum system. It is one of the most widely used ice machine technologies.
Water is supplied to the inner surface of the drum, where it freezes due to cooling. The formed ice is scraped off using a scraper blade and falls into the storage bin.
This system is simple, efficient, and capable of 24/7 continuous operation.
Applications of Flake Ice
The most common use is fish cooling. Fish must remain fresh from catch through processing and storage.
Maintaining the cold chain from the earliest stage is essential. The most practical solution is flake ice machines.
After processing, fish can also be stored in cold storage facilities.
