A flake ice machine is a type of ice maker. According to different water sources, it can be divided into fresh water flake ice machine and sea water flake ice machine. Flake ice is thin, dry, loose white ice, ranging in thickness from 1.0 mm to 2.5 mm, with an irregular shape and a diameter of about 12-45 mm. Flake ice has no sharp edges and corners. The following editor will introduce to you about the properties and uses of flake ice in the flake ice machine. Welcome to read!
Flake ice properties:
Large contact area and fast cooling.
Due to the flat shape characteristic of flaky ice, the surface area is larger than other shapes of ice of the same weight. The larger the contact area, the better the freezing effect. In comparison, the surface area of one ton of ice is 1579 square meters, and its types of ice such as tube ice and grain ice can only provide 395 to 1294 square meters, so the freezing efficiency of flake ice is 2 higher than that of tube ice and grain ice. ~5x.
low production cost
The production cost of flake ice is very economical. It only takes about 85 degrees to cool water at 16 degrees Celsius into 1 ton of flake ice.
Excellent food insurance
Flake ice cubes are dry in texture, soft without sharp corners, and can protect the packaged food during refrigeration and packaging. Its flat profile causes less damage to objects being refrigerated.
mix thoroughly
Because the flake ice has a large surface area and a fast heat exchange process, the flake ice can quickly melt into water, take away heat and increase the humidity of the mixture.
The uses of flake ice machine are:
1. Application in aquatic product processing: Flake ice can reduce the temperature of processing medium, cleaning water and aquatic products, prevent bacterial growth, and maintain the freshness of aquatic products during processing.
2. Application of meat product processing: A large amount of calorific value will be generated during the processing of meat products. Flake ice can be used in the cooling process of meat products, and at the same time, it can adjust the humidity for the products and improve the quality.
3. Application in food processing: If whipping or adding cream twice in bread production, use borneol to cool quickly to prevent fermentation.
4. Application in supermarkets and aquatic product markets: It is used for the configuration, display, packaging and other fresh-keeping functions of aquatic products.
5. Application of vegetable processing: Flake ice is used in agricultural products and vegetable harvesting and processing technology to reduce the metabolism of agricultural products and the growth rate of bacteria. Extend the shelf life of produce and vegetables.
6. Application in long-distance transportation: products that require cooling and preservation, such as ocean fishing and vegetable transportation, are more and more widely used in long-distance transportation.
7. In many biosynthesis and chemical synthesis experiments, a large amount of ice needs to be added to control the reaction rate and maintain its activity. Flake ice cubes are hygienic, clean and fast cooling, making them an ideal cooling carrier in this industry.
8. Application in concrete engineering: When pouring concrete on a large scale in hot seasons, the pouring temperature of concrete must be controlled effectively and reasonably. Ice + cold water mixing is a more effective method.
