Flake ice is irregularly shaped and flat provides a larger contact area better dispersing product heat without damaging or “burning” products, this type of ice is popular in commercial and food service applications due to its versatility and ease of use.
Importantly, flake ice machines are commonly used in commercial settings, such as restaurants, bars, hospitals, hotels and other food service facilities, because of their ability to cool and keep food cool and their versatility for mixing with beverages. They are also popular in the fishing and food processing industry for cooling fresh fish and seafood.
The flake ice machine receives water through a purified water supply pipe. The water is usually passed through a filter to remove impurities and is slightly heated to enhance ice formation.
The water is pumped to the evaporator, which is generally cylindrical in shape and positioned vertically. It is internally cooled by a refrigerant gas, which absorbs the heat of the water and freezes it on the inner surface of the cylinder.
As the water freezes on the evaporator walls, a thin layer of ice forms. A scraper knife or helical blade rotates inside the cylinder and continuously scrapes the frozen ice off in the form of thin flakes.
The flakes fall into a storage garbage can or hopper. This bin is usually designed to keep the ice in a hygienic condition and prevent agglomeration.
Flake ice can be dispensed from the machine through an opening or chute into a container, cup or storage area, depending on its intended use.
Vegetable, fruit and vegetable packers use flake ice to preserve their products.
Flake ice can be added to the concrete, preserving a suitable temperature during the curing process.
Because of its flat shape, flake ice is ideal for use with seafood as it disperses heat evenly without “burning” or damaging it.
Flake ice is used to cool chemicals and equipment in laboratories and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants.
