Introduction To The Classification Of Ice Machines

Introduction to the classification of ice machines

Ice machines can be divided into commercial ice machines, household ice machines, and industrial ice machines.

Ice machines are classified according to the shape of the ice: granular ice (cylindrical, cube, moon), snowflake, scale ice, plate ice, tube ice, and the newly developed spherical ice.

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.

Refrigeration methods can be divided into: water-cooled ice machine, air-cooled ice machine.
