How to buy an ice machine in the market?

At present, ice machines on the market are generally calculated in kilograms (tons) or pounds of ice production in 24 hours. This unit of measurement indicates the ice production when the ambient temperature is 10 degrees and the water temperature is 10 degrees. In summer, when the ambient temperature and water temperature are high, the ice production will be affected to varying degrees. When both the ambient temperature and the water temperature are over thirty degrees, most ice machines can only produce two-thirds of the unit of measure.

There are also ice shapes for customers to choose when purchasing ice machines. Generally speaking, block ice is practical, cube ice is beautiful, and flake ice is dry. Users can choose ice machines according to their needs. Let's take a look below!

1. Classification by ice type:

A. Block ice B. Cube ice C. Tube ice D. Flake ice E. Plate ice F. Slurry ice G. Transparent ice H. Granular ice

2. Application of different ice shapes:

Large ice block applications: fishery fishing refrigeration, seafood processing, transportation of seafood and fresh goods, food processing, supermarket preservation, concrete mixing and cooling, chemical cooling, slaughtering and freezing and other industries.

Cube ice applications: hotels, hotels, bars, banquet halls, western restaurants, fast food restaurants, convenience stores and cold drink shops where ice is needed to meet every customer who needs ice.

Application of flake ice: pre-cooling in the process of slaughtering/meat/bread food processing, chemical raw materials, fishery fishing, fresh-keeping and cooling of aquatic products, cooling in the process of concrete mixing.

Tube ice applications: daily consumption, vegetable preservation, bar ice, chemical process, civil engineering; diameter sizes are 20mm, 28mm, 34mm, 40mm and other specifications.

Application of fluid ice: The ice crystal particles of fluid ice are small and will not cause damage to the surface of the cooling object. It is generally used in fishing and aquatic product preservation, especially for fishing boats.

Plate ice applications: supermarket preservation, ocean fishery, aquatic product processing, primary processing and preservation of fruits and vegetables, meat processing, medical treatment, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering.

Application of transparent ice: The ice body is strong and not easy to melt. It is suitable for the production of artistic ice sculptures, high-end banquet halls, opening ceremonies and other occasions.

Granular ice application: suitable for drink preparation, decoration, and food storage and preservation.

3. Daily ice consumption of the ice machine:

Estimate the maximum daily ice consumption according to the ice-making daily ice consumption at the peak time of the place of use, and then choose ice machines with different outputs.
