Flake ice machine characteris:

1. Flake Ice for Faster, More Efficient Cooling
All ice is not the same. Flake ice is preferred for many food-related and industrial applications because it has unique features that provide for efficient cooling, excellent product protection, better finished products and ease of use.
 
2. Faster Cooling
Flake ice has more than 17,000 square feet (1,579 square meters) of surface area per ton of ice, providing greater cooling efficiency than any other ice.
 
3. Better Product Coverage
Flake ice is formed in flat flakes which flow freely and provide greater contact area than any other type of ice. Ice thickness can be changed from 1.5 to 2.2 mm with simple adjustments to the machine. These thin flakes melt quickly to cool products efficiently. Heat transfer occurs when ice melts, so the faster ice melts, the faster it cools.
 
4. Thorough Product Mixing
Flake ice melts rapidly to dissipate heat and add moisture to mixtures. This aids the blending process and will not damage mixing equipment.
 
5. Greater Product Protection
Flake ice packs well and cushions products against damage. Its flat shape will not create indentations or cause bruising of perishable products.
 
6. Easier Storage And Distribution
Flake ice is sub-cooled, so it is completely dry. Since there is no free water as with other types of ice, flake ice will not fuse together in a storage bin or clog delivery systems. During storage it forms a thin surface crust, which preserves the ice for use at a later time. Dry, free-flowing ice flakes are available for immediate use by simply breaking the crust.
 
7. Best For High Volume Applications
Flake ice is uniquely suited for high volume applications. Ice produced using a defrost cycle, such as shell, tube or plate ice, carries a lot of free water with it into the storage bin. This water creates problems with corrosion, bacteria growth and iceberg formation in the bin.1. Flake Ice for Faster, More Efficient Cooling
