The nature and characteristics of the flake ice machine

Large contact area and fast cooling

Due to the flat shape of flake ice, it has a larger surface area than other shapes of ice with the same weight. The larger the contact surface area, the better the cooling effect. Taking comparison as an example, the minimum surface area of a ton of flake ice is 1579 square meters, and other types of ice such as tube ice and granular ice can only provide 395 to 1294 square meters, so the cooling efficiency of flake ice is higher than that of tube ice and granular ice 2 to 5 times.

low production cost

The production cost of flake ice is very economical. It only needs about 85 kWh of electricity to refrigerate water at 16 degrees Celsius into 1 ton of flake ice.

Excellent food insurance

Flake ice is dry, soft and has no sharp angles, which can protect the packaged food during the refrigerated packaging process. Its flat shape minimizes possible damage to the refrigerated items.

mix thoroughly

Due to the huge surface area of flake ice, its heat exchange process is rapid, flake ice can quickly melt into water, take away heat, and increase humidity for the mixture.

Convenient storage and transportation

Due to the dry texture of flake ice, it is not easy to cause adhesion during low-temperature storage and screw transportation, and it is easier to store and transport.

The actual amount of ice used will vary with the water temperature and ambient temperature.

The water source is fresh water, and ordinary tap water or ground water can be used.

The machine should be placed indoors.

The type of ice produced by the machine is flake ice, thickness: 1.8-2.2MM.

Standard working conditions: ambient temperature 25°C, water temperature 18-20°C.
