Which type of ice machine is more suitable for supermarkets?

There are many types of ice machines on the market, among which the common ice shapes are snowflake, block ice, flake ice and so on. We can often see ice machines in milk tea shops, so which kind of ice machines are more suitable for supermarkets?

Ice cubes in supermarkets are mainly used to keep seafood, aquatic products and poultry fresh. So when we choose, we must choose according to the characteristics and performance of each ice maker.

Advantages and disadvantages of flake ice machine:
The flake ice machine does not need crushed ice, and the flake ice produced can be used directly, so the flake ice machine saves electricity. The flake ice machine occupies a small area, which is 1/3 of the block ice machine, so the flake ice machine is trusted by small and medium supermarkets. But flake ice machines have thinner flakes, so they melt faster than block ice machines. If you use a flake ice machine with a large amount of ice in the supermarket, you can replenish the amount of melted flake ice in time.
Advantages and disadvantages of block ice machine:

Block ice machines are more expensive than flake ice machines. The ice cubes produced by our block ice machine cannot be used directly. The crushed ice needs to be crushed by an ice crusher first, and then placed in a supermarket freezer for refrigeration. The advantage is that block ice has high hardness and is not easy to melt, but the whole equipment takes up a lot of space, so it is not recommended to buy and use it in supermarkets.
