Flake ice is directly formed at low temperatures; flakes are as cold as below -80C. Once formed, ice flakes are dry, clean, sanitary and convenient. Ice flakes have no sharp edges so cannot damage refrigerated surfaces. They are easy to store and easy to transport as the result. Ice flakes have a relatively large contact area meaning good contact with items being refrigerated.

Discover constant ice production with no defrost cycles. You will also save water and overfilling – photoelectric eyes within the machine automatically switch off ice making if storage containers reach capacity.

Flake ice applications include

• Fisheries – saltwater versions available
• Food processing
• Concrete cooling
• Artificial snowfields
• Medical
• Fresh food preservation

Flake Ice Machine Key features

• Interiors constructed from quality, non-corrosive materials to eliminate rust and contamination.
• Stainless steel external cladding enables use in any environment.
• Stationary vertical evaporator to prevent leaking seals.
• Polyurethane insulation to restrict heat transfer and eliminate water penetration.

Capacity to suit your needs

• Fresh Water Flakers:
  500kg to 60 tonnes per 24-hour capacity. We offer a 10-year warranty on freshwater evaporators, which are constructed of hardened chrome steel. (Stainless steel is optional in this range.)
• Land-based Sea Water Flaker:
  1 to 60 tonne per 24-hour capacity. Our seawater flakers use a stainless steel or aluminum alloy evaporator.
• Marine On-board Sea Water Flaker:
  1 to 7.5 tonne per 24-hour capacity. Our onboard marine flakers use a stainless steel or aluminum alloy evaporator.

Unique Gearbox and Pump Features

• A float switch will protect your pump from running dry, and extend its life. Flake ice machines feature automatic salt feeding pulsing pumps, with a 20L container for water softening.
• We offer a 12-month warranty on the gearbox and pumps within our Flake Ice machines.

Depending on your specific requirements and where it will be located, we can supply your machine with weatherproof enclosures for further protection. Flake Ice machines are suitable for refrigerant R404A, R22 and R717 and machines are supplied for direct expansion, flooded or liquid recirculation.
