Choose an ice machine according to the classification of ice

The ice machine is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice after water is cooled by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system through the evaporator. According to the shape of the ice cubes produced by the ice machine, it can be divided into: tube ice machine, block ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine and granular ice machine; according to different functions, it can be divided into edible ice machine, industrial ice machine, etc. Use ice machine, commercial ice machine, household ice machine, industrial ice machine.

Generally speaking, the ice produced by tube ice machines and granule ice machines is mainly to meet people's eating needs. The ice cubes are relatively small and suitable for fast food restaurants and cold drink shops, while the ice cubes produced by other ice machines are relatively large. For industrial use.

From the shape of the ice machine, there are granular ice (cylindrical, square, moon-shaped), snowflake-shaped, scale ice, plate ice, tube ice, etc.

Granular ice is divided into spray type, flowing water type and immersion type according to the ice making method.

Cylindrical ice is generally made by spraying ice. This ice making method has a low freezing point, which can reach below minus 20°C. The contact surface between the cylindrical surfaces is small, it is not easy to stick together, and it is convenient to use ice. Cylindrical ice cubes have high hardness, low temperature, and crystal clear ice cubes. They are suitable for cooling foreign wines. The slow melting speed will not dilute the foreign wines and affect the taste of foreign wines. The disadvantage of cylindrical ice machines is that the ice production efficiency is relatively low. , generally used for the production of small bar table ice machines.

The temperature of flake ice is -6°C~-12°C, which is most suitable for cooling in industrial processing and transportation of perishable items. It is often used for seafood display on the fresh counter of supermarkets. Large scale ice can also be used in cement plants, chemical plants, meat joint factories, marine fisheries, etc.

At present, many new types of ice machines have appeared on the market, which are highly efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly. It has been recognized by consumers and businesses. With the development of science and technology, better and better ice machines will also be produced, which guarantees the needs of people's lives and related industrial production in the hot summer.
