Why does the racecourse choose snowflake ice machine

We all know that in the racetrack, when the horses participate in the arduous cross-country races, they will cool down the horses. Why is it so important to cool down the horses after the race? the

When a horse is running, the movement of muscles not only produces energy, but also heat is its main by-product, and the heat generated is directly proportional to the work intensity of the horse. the

Horses mainly rely on sweating to regulate their body temperature. There are 810 sweat glands per square centimeter on the surface of a horse’s skin, of which 60%-70% of heat needs to be dissipated through the skin.

Therefore, a horse will sweat profusely after a little exercise. It can be seen that if the horse cannot sweat and the heat cannot be dissipated, the consequences will be serious. It is like a cold with a high fever that does not go away.

The best way to alleviate it is to take the horse to a cool place as soon as possible and artificially cool it down, and replenish electrolytes if necessary.

Ice is generally used to cool down horses, so where does the ice come from? Of course, it is necessary to choose an ice machine. But with so many types of ice machines, which one is more suitable for racetracks? Snow ice machine. This is because the ice produced by the snowflake ice machine is irregular and fine particles, and the temperature is generally between 0 and 10 degrees.

To cool down the horse, if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will damage the horse's skin, and the snowflake ice has no edges and corners, and will not stab the horse's skin. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the racetrack recommends using a snowflake ice machine.
