1. Large contact area: As its flat and thin shape, it has got the largest contact area among all types of ice. The larger its contact area is, the faster it cools other stuff. In comparison with 1 ton of cube ice, 1 ton of flake ice has 1799 sqm of contact area while 1 ton of cube ice only has 1383 sqm, therefore the flake ice has got much better cooling effects than cube ice.
2. Low cost of producing
The producing of flake ice is very economical, it only requires 1.3RT refrigerating effect to make 1 ton of ice from 16C water.
3. Perfect in food cooling
Flake ice is type of dry and crispy ice, it hardly forms any shape edges, in food cooling process, this nature has made it the best material for cooling, it can reduce the possibility of damage to food to the lowest rate.
4. Thoroughly mixing
Flake ice can become water quickly through the rapid heat exchanging with products, and also supply the moisture for products to be cooled.
Application
Aquatic appliance
Fishery fresh: In fish market ,supermarket and seafood hotel, plenty of ice are used for the fish food preservation.
Fishery production and processing:In fishing and aquatic products processing factory, lots of ice is need as a cold storage and preservation of aquatic products.
Meat appliance
Slaughtering industry cooling :In production of poultry slaughter, ice is for cooling poultry
Food processing: in the cooked food production ,ice water is for cooled chopped mix processing.
Food processing industry
Dairy processing:in ice cream production, required as large amount of chopped ice particles.
Bakery:bread flour in the beating,need to use a lot of ice water to improve the processing temperature.
Chemical appliance
Printing&dyeing chemical:in the paint,dye production, diazotization, coupling and condensation are necessary synthesis process. Lots of heat is cool down with ice cooling/
Pharmaceutical and chemical:In t he synthetic production process of bio-pharmaceutical. Chemical and pharmaceutical industry, much ice is used to control temperature and maintain biological activity.
Concrete cooling
Railway hydropower projects: in the casting process of concrete elements in mass projects, the big temperature change in hydration can cause creaks. Every 10kg flake ice can reduce 1.2-1.4 degree for on cubic concrete.
