Industrial Flake Ice Machines

The use of flake ice, common in the food and beverage industry, is an important element in many processing operations. The cooling requirements are met by covering the product with a 1-2 mm thick ice flakes. Its requirement on big projects and used in a mix with cement.

IceMach^® Flake Ice Machines are designed and manufactured to meet the increasing flake ice applications in the domestic and foreign markets.

• Dough production for bakery products and pastry products
• Refrigeration of fish and seafood
• Filling fresh food displays in supermarkets
• Buffet decorative cooling (in hotels, restaurants, event catering services...)
• Cryotherapy in human and veterinary medicine
• Health spas and hobbies

By analysing the data from our customers in project specific studies; optimum capacity, generator capacity, energy supply, etc. we have optimised the design to fit the needs.

The horizontally designed flake ice machine body is made from stainless steel and suitable for use in industrial environments.

The machine provides continuous production of ice with homogeneous quality, while creating efficiency and cost savings, and not requiring special maintenance or care.

Once ice flakes are formed, they are produced in a dry, clean, continuous manner.

Ice flakes due to lack of sharp edges, wont damage the surfaces of the chilled products, but are extremely useful for storage and delivery.

Our product is suitable for food production, and can be easily controlled by the integrated control system.

Safety and Sanitation

Every component of our IceMach^® Ice Machines is made of SUS304 stainless steel, pure aluminum alloy or PE material. The design prevents the ice from clumping at the bottom of the machines.

The machines are fully compliant with the certification requirements of HACCP plans and FDA.

“Hygienic” IceMach^® Design

The evaporator can be opened without specialised tools and is accessible from all sides.

Easy to clean hygienic water tank made of stainless material (no insulation and corrosion).

Round shaped, cleanliness friendly water tank; does not require changing due to corrosion or foul build-up,

Water tank free of angles, edges and designed with screwless built-in parts for easy and efficient cleaning.

Automatic water pipe rinse function when the machine is not used for more than 24 hours.

Special hygiene advantages,

Back flow protected water supply,

Special drinking water hoses used for protection from biofilm.

HIGH RELIABILITY and LOW FAILURE RATE

Our IceMach^® Flake Ice Machines can operate continuously for more than 20,000 hours.

---

HIGHLY EFFICIENCY and ENERGY SAVING

The freezing surface of flake ice is over 1750 m2 / ton.

A special type of alloy material and patented processing technology are adopted to ensure efficient thermal conductivity.

The IceMach^® Flake Ice Machines produces more ice compared to similar units.

---

SIMPLE CARE and EASY MOVEMENT

The equipment is based on modular design and simplicity of maintenance. The design makes it easy to remove old parts and install new ones in case of the need for replacement.

---

PERFECT FIT and SUSTAINABLE QUALITY

While IceMach^® products are recommended to be operated at an ambient temperature of 5^°C to 40^°C, they show normal performance even under adverse conditions (30^°C ~ 60^°C).

Every part is carefully inspected and tested before assembly following our rigorous Quality Control Procedures.

It is our goal to provide our customers with reliable and durable ice machines.

SUPERIOR ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEM

IceMach^® FLAKE ICE MACHINE uses reliable quality components from such renown manufacturers as ABB, Schneider and Siemens in its automatic control and energy supply systems. Machines come with options for both Automatic and Manual controls, but our proprietary algorithms for the Automatic mode have been developed for the most efficient ice production.

Automatic control system keeps the COP value at maximum by monitoring the cooling performance of the compressor.

The machine and the UX is designed for ease of use and direct control from the display screens. Signals and detailed parameter settings of the entire machine are displayed during the maintenance procedures in a simple on-screen configuration utility.

Efficient cooling

Fast product cooling

Long freshness

---

Dry frozen ice

Dry surface, almost no water without melting

Easy storage, easy use

Attractive appearance

---

Light (Density 0,42 kg / dm³)

Flaked Ice is up to 30% lighter than other types of ice, so less ice is required for displaying purposes and costs of shipping are lowered.

---

Thin ice chips (0,9 - 2,2 mm)

Very good product coverage,

Great surface to volume ratio provides good heat exchange,

Little mechanical resistance, thus good mixing behaviour, does not damage the product and tools such as mincer knives, dough hooks etc...

Reduced production costs.

High efficiency.

100% of the water is turned to ice, so there is no waste of water. Providing superb water conservation characteristics.

---

High reliability - Low maintenance

Reduced operating and maintenance costs.

No additional water treatments are required such as softening or filtration.
