Small Capacity, Professional Performance
Choosing an ice machine with a lower capacity does not mean sacrificing professional performance.
The FIM500 offers an ideal solution for businesses requiring a steady supply of flake ice throughout the day, thanks to its production capacity of approximately 20.83 kg/hour. Produced at approximately 1.8 to 2 mm thickness and a temperature of -5°C, the thin ice easily spreads around products due to its large contact surface and guarantees efficient cooling.
Its compact structure makes professional production possible where space is valuable.
Thanks to these features, the FIM500 is the right starting point for transitioning from external purchasing to in-house production.
The Advantage of Flake Ice for Fish and Seafood
When selling fresh products, it is not only about keeping the product cold, but also about how it is presented to the customer.
Fish and seafood must look fresh, vibrant, and appetizing on display counters throughout the day. The fine and irregular structure of flake ice easily wraps around the products to offer uniform cooling.
That is why a flake ice machine for fish shops is one of the most sought-after solutions at seafood retail points.
Flake ice helps preserve temperature during the display of fish, shrimp, mussels, and other seafood, while creating a clean and professional presentation.
Produce Your Own Ice Instead of Buying Every Day
Buying ready-to-use ice may seem easy at first. However, repeated orders, transportation costs, storage issues, and the risk of shortages during peak periods can complicate your operations.
A business that produces its own ice decides when and how much to make.
With the FIM500, ice is produced directly on-site and is ready for immediate use. Especially in summer, in coastal, tourist, and high-traffic areas, supply independence provides a major advantage.
Professional Production in Confined Spaces
In small restaurants, fish markets, and food shops, every square meter counts.
That is why the FIM500 represents a compact alternative for establishments that do not require large ice plants. Offering professional cooling technology in a reduced footprint enables easy integration into your existing layout.
Thus, facilities with limited space can also have their own production system.
Fresh Water Flake Ice for Food Applications
The FIM500 produces fresh water ice using the municipal water supply. The ice produced can be used in various areas, from counter display to food processing.
Producing ice on-site helps the business control the water source and the manufacturing process.
Fresh ice produced daily is used on demand for display, preservation, food preparation, and various refrigeration applications.
Start with the Capacity You Need
You don't need to start with a multi-ton daily machine to transition to professional production.
For many SMEs, producing 500 kg of flake ice per day is the ideal starting capacity to reduce reliance on suppliers and establish an independent system.
If sales volumes grow over the years, upgrading to higher capacities will be possible. The infrastructure thus evolves alongside the business.
The Tamutom FIM500 500 kg/day flake ice machine has been designed for businesses wishing to produce their ice autonomously without heavy installations. Thanks to its compact format, 500 kg/day capacity, and professional technology, it allows small establishments to manufacture their ice, better protect their products, and master their daily requirements.
