Freshmen Must Know: How To Choose The Right Type Of Ice Machine?

No supermarket that deals in fresh food can do without the ice machine (in fact, it must be used all year round, including winter). What types of ice machines are there? The ice machine Gu Siyi is a machine for making ice cubes, but the ice cubes are divided into flake ice, block ice, tube ice, granular ice, etc. According to the shape of the ice cubes produced by the ice maker, it can be divided into: flake ice machine, block ice machine, tube ice machine, granular ice machine, snowflake machine, plate ice machine

The ice machine is a device that uses a refrigeration system, uses water as a carrier, and produces ice after passing through a certain device in the electrified state. Simply put, it is a machine that turns liquid water into solid ice. Depending on the principle and production method of the evaporator, the shape of the ice cubes generated is also different.

The function of ice is divided into three types: one is for cooling, the other is for eating, and the third is for artificial scenes for viewing; according to different places of use, it can be divided into: edible ice machine, commercial ice machine, industrial ice machine ice machine.

According to different condensation methods, it can be divided into: air-cooled ice machine and water-cooled ice machine.

1. The flake ice machine is irregular scale-shaped crushed ice with a thickness of 1.5-2.2mm, and the ice temperature is about -5 degrees. Fast, effective and fast, suitable for industrial processing and transportation cooling of perishable items. It is widely used in supermarkets, buffets, hot pot restaurants, and fresh food counters in hotels for the display of aquatic meat, aquatic product processing, food processing, poultry meat processing, vegetable distribution and preservation, fishing, concrete mixing and cooling, and chemical dye cooling. Pharmaceutical industry, artificial snow, etc.

2. The ice cubes produced by the block ice machine are the ice machines with the largest dimensions among the ice cube types. According to the different types of evaporators, they can be divided into direct cooling block ice machines and salt water pool ice machines. Block ice has a small contact area with the outside world and is not easy to melt. It can be crushed into various shapes of ice according to the requirements of different industries. Application fields: Ice factories in ports and wharves, food processing, long-distance transportation of vegetables, fruits and aquatic products for preservation and cooling, aquatic products and food preservation, cooling in special areas, and the use of ice sculptures for viewing. Ice cubes can be divided into transparent ice cubes and milky white ice cubes, and some pigments can be added to make colored ice cubes.

3. The ice of the snowflake ice machine is relatively humid, the water content is generally between 15% and 25%, the temperature is slightly lower than zero, the plasticity is good, it is easy to take and accumulate, and the shape of the ice is amorphous fine particles of snowflakes Shaped crushed ice can penetrate into narrow gaps, with fast cooling speed and good ice bath effect. It is specially designed for laboratories, especially suitable for use in laboratories such as food and life sciences, medicine, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, inspection and quarantine.

It can be said that the above five types of ice machines are all related to Shangchao Fresh. It can be seen from the actual store tour that there are almost no supermarkets that can completely choose to buy and use the standard.

In terms of equipment, general supermarkets, convenience stores and even street vendors can make the best use of everything.
