Is your current ice production operation expensive to run and need to find a more cost-effective solution? Why not try one of our industrial sub-cooled flake ice machines?

Recent Work

Last week, Isaac delivered and installed an industrial sub-cooled flake ice machine at a meat processing plant. The machine is on a 6-week trial period, allowing the customer to thoroughly test it and evaluate how beneficial an industrial sub-cooled flake ice machine could be for their business.

Ice Usage

They currently use CO₂ for product cooling and are looking to switch over to sub-cooled flake ice. Each product they produce currently includes water in the recipes, primarily to bond ingredients together for an even mix and consistent product.

Sub-cooled flake ice offers efficient product cooling while also meeting water requirements. It leaves no residue, and its thin, flat structure quickly transfers cooling energy directly into the product. This allows the desired results to be achieved without relying on costly CO₂.

As the bowl chopper generates heat, CO₂ is currently used to cool the product during mixing. By switching to sub-cooled flake ice, the process becomes more efficient—ice can be added as easily as water, fulfilling both cooling and water content needs at the same time.

Cost Saving

At Ice Systems, after our customers' trial periods, they can choose to either purchase or rent the equipment.

This particular customer has already decided to purchase their industrial sub-cooled flake ice machine and expects to save over $200,000 in the first year by switching from CO₂ to sub-cooled flake ice.
