In industrial refrigeration, freshness is paramount. Flake ice plays a crucial role, offering unparalleled efficiency in preserving perishables. This overview explores how flake ice ensures optimal temperature control and uniform cooling, meeting consumer demands and enhancing product integrity.
Keep it Fresh, Keep it Cool with CBFI® Flake Ice Machine
1. Cleanliness and Purity
Flake ice stands out for its exceptional cleanliness and purity. Unlike other types of ice, flake ice is produced through a process that removes impurities, ensuring high levels of hygiene. This makes it safe for direct contact with food products.
2. Uniform Cooling
The irregular shape and thinness of flake ice allow for more uniform cooling of products. This characteristic helps prevent hot spots and ensures consistent temperature control, which is crucial for preserving the quality and freshness of perishable goods.
3. Economical Benefits
Flake ice is highly economical compared to crushed ice, which melts faster during loading and storage. The large surface area-to-volume ratio of flake ice enables it to cool products more quickly, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
4. Versatility in Applications
Flake ice is easy to dispense and distribute, making it convenient for various applications:
· Filling beverage glasses
· Packing and shipping perishable goods
· Industrial processes
· Fish and seafood display cabinets in supermarkets
· Optimizing dough temperature in the baking industry
5. Rapid Cooling and Preservation
The rapid cooling property of flake ice ensures maximum freshness and preserves the quality of fresh produce. Upon impact, flake ice does not damage the product; instead, it breaks upon contact, safeguarding the product's integrity.
6. Softness and Moldability
The softness and moldability of flake ice make it ideal for applications requiring conformability, such as physical therapy or cold therapy packs.
7. Low Residual Water Content
Flake ice holds less than 2% residual water content, making it dry and the coldest form of ice. It consists of irregular fragments with variable thickness, adjustable between 1 to 2 mm.
These features collectively make flake ice an excellent choice for maintaining the freshness and quality of a wide range of products and applications.
Why Flake Ice Machine Made by Guangzhou Icesource Co., Ltd. (CBFI®) is recommended?
Since 2004, Guangzhou Icesource Co., Ltd. (CBFI®) recognized the importance of flake ice and pioneered its application in the seafood industry, long before stringent hygiene standards like HACCP became mandatory for the export-oriented fish processing industry.
