01 / The ice

What flake ice is

Flake ice is made by freezing a thin layer of water on the inside of a cold barrel and shaving it off. It comes out as thin, dry flakes. It is not crushed cube ice, and it is not snow.

01

It stays loose in the bin

The flakes come out dry, so they do not freeze into one block. Ice that has been in the bin all night still breaks up with the scoop, and nobody has to chip it out with a bar before service.

02

No sharp corners

There are no hard edges to puncture vacuum bags, cling film or box liners, and no sharp points pressing into soft product such as fillets.

03

It covers the product

Thin flat flakes sit against the product instead of leaving air gaps, so more ice is touching more surface. That is why a flake ice bed cools faster than a bed of cubes.

04

For product that is sold cold

Seafood and fish processing are the main users. The same applies to poultry, dough, fresh produce and samples that stay on ice for a full shift.

02 / Build

How the machine is built

These six points decide how long the machine runs before it needs a service call, and how much it costs to keep running after that.

Evaporator cast in one piece

The barrel is cast in one piece from low-temperature alloy steel, with the refrigerant channel formed inside it. Fewer welds means fewer joints where a leak can start.

The barrel does not turn

The vertical evaporator is bolted to the frame. Nothing rotates at the refrigerant joint, so there is no shaft seal to wear out. That seal is the usual leak point on drum machines.

SUS304 knife, one piece

The knife is made from one length of seamless SUS304 stainless pipe, not assembled from sections. There are no joints to work loose during a long run.

The knife rolls, it does not scrape

The knife travels around the inside of the barrel on a rolling movement. That gives low resistance and low power draw, no grinding noise, and no ice powder in the bin.

PLC control board

Ice making, shutdown and fault alarms run through the PLC. When something is wrong the panel shows which part, which covers most of what routine service needs.

First ice in about 3 minutes

From a cold start the first flakes arrive in about three minutes. After that the output is continuous, not one batch at a time.

All ten models are air cooled. Dimensions, net weight and electrical data for each model are in the table below.

03 / Evaporator and seal

Fixed barrel, no rotating seal

On a drum machine the evaporator turns, and the refrigerant joint turns with it. That joint wears every hour the machine runs, and a worn joint means gas loss, warm ice and a service call. On this machine the barrel is fixed and only the knife moves, so the joint has nothing to rub against.

04 / Applications

Where flake ice is used

Anywhere product sits on ice for hours, the ice has to stay loose and stay cold. These are the trades that buy this machine most often.

  • Seafood counters and processing
  • Hotels and restaurants
  • Bars and coffee shops
  • Bakeries and dessert counters
  • Laboratories and hospitals
  • Colleges and staff canteens
  • KTV and beverage service
  • Seafood wholesale markets

Choose the model by your busiest hour, not by the daily total. Tell us how much ice you use at peak and how much you want held in the bin, and we will name the smallest model that covers it.

05 / Models

10 models, 200 kg to 3,000 kg a day

All models are air cooled and use R404A. Output is per 24 hours at standard test conditions. Dimensions are the cabinet only, in millimetres.

Output depends on room temperature, water temperature and how well the machine is ventilated. Check your voltage and frequency before ordering: models from 1,000 kg need 380 V three-phase.

Send the ice you need at peak and the bin size you want. We reply with one model.
06 / Site preparation

What you need on site

The machine arrives almost ready to run. These four items are what usually cause problems on site, so prepare them before the crate is opened.

Power

Check the phase

Models up to 800 kg run on 220 V single phase. From 1,000 kg the range is 380 V three-phase. Give the machine its own breaker, with an isolator within reach.

Water in

Ice-making water line

One dedicated potable water line to the machine. On hard water, fit a softener or cartridge filter before the inlet. Scale on the barrel shows up first as wet, cloudy flakes.

Water out

Gravity drain

The drain works by gravity. Keep a continuous fall to the floor trap and do not reduce the pipe diameter. A sagging line is the usual cause of water on the floor.

Air

Keep the grille clear

Every model is air cooled. Leave the front and side grilles clear and do not put the machine in a hot corner. A blocked condenser cuts output before it causes a breakdown.

07 / Questions

Common questions

If your question is not here, send it on WhatsApp. Technical questions usually get an answer the same day.

Ask us directly
How long until the first ice?

About three minutes from a cold start, then continuous. That matters at opening time, when the bin has been drawn down overnight.

Will the flakes freeze into one block?

No. The flakes leave the barrel dry, so they stay separate and scoop freely. Ice that has sat in the bin all night still breaks up with the scoop.

Is flake ice colder than cube ice?

The temperature is about the same. The difference is contact: flake ice is soft and covers the product, so more of the surface is touching ice. That is why it cools faster than cubes, and faster than snowflake ice.

Which model do I need for a seafood counter?

Size it by the busiest hour and by the bin, not by the daily total. Send us the kilos you use at peak and the kilos you want in reserve, and we will name the smallest model that covers both.

What water does it need?

Potable water to the ice-making inlet. On hard water, fit a softener or cartridge filter: scale builds on the barrel and the first sign is wet, cloudy flakes, long before anything fails.

What about warranty and lead time?

Both depend on the model and the destination port, so we quote them. Send the model and your nearest port and you get price, lead time and warranty terms in one reply.
