Flake ice has irregular shape and thin flakes; it has no sharp edges and will not damage the outer surface of the cooled object; it has a large contact area and a fast cooling speed; it is easy to crush and has strong plasticity, so it is widely used in food processing, fishery production, manufacturing, and concrete cooling.

Flake ice machines can be divided into freshwater flake ice machines and seawater flake ice machines. Seawater flake ice machines are specially designed for marine ice making operations, overcoming the characteristics of seawater corrosion, pitching and swaying of ships. Among them, seawater flake ice machines can be divided into seawater ship flake ice machines and seawater land flake ice machines.

Ice making principle: The ice knife, sprinkler tray, main shaft, and water receiving tray rotate slowly counterclockwise under the drive of the reducer. Water enters the water distribution tray from the water inlet of the ice maker evaporator, and the water is evenly sprinkled on the ice surface through the sprinkler pipe to form a water film.

The water film exchanges heat with the refrigerant, and the temperature drops rapidly, forming a thin layer of ice on the ice surface. Under the squeezing of the ice knife, it breaks into flake ice and falls into the ice storage from the ice drop port. Some of the unfrozen water flows back to the cold water tank from the return port through the water receiving tray, and is circulated through the cold water circulation pump.

Equipment features:

1. Internal scraper to reduce energy consumption and prevent refrigerant leakage.
2. Stainless steel material, using advanced processing equipment and heat treatment technology to ensure the best heat transfer efficiency.
3. Large-area water receiving tray design to prevent dripping at the bottom of the evaporator.
4. Photoelectric switch is directly installed at the bottom of the evaporator, and full ice is automatically controlled.
5. Direct liquid supply and dry evaporation, simple, safe and reliable control.
6. Integrated and modular equipment, easy on-site installation and maintenance.

Among many flake ice machine brands, Focusun flake ice machine stands out with its excellent performance and wide application fields. Focusun not only inherits all the advantages of traditional flake ice machines – such as irregular but thin and uniform flake ice, no sharp edges and corners to protect the surface of the cooling object, large-area contact to accelerate the cooling process, and high plasticity to meet diverse needs – but also further improves the efficiency and reliability of the equipment through technological innovation.

Focusun seawater flake ice machine is specially optimized for the harsh conditions of the marine environment. Whether it is the ability to resist seawater corrosion or the adaptability to the dynamic movement of ships, it has demonstrated extraordinary strength. Whether it is a seawater ship flake ice machine installed on a sailing ship for continuous ice making operations, or a seawater land flake ice machine deployed on coastal or island bases to serve fishery processing and cold chain logistics, Focusun can provide efficient and stable solutions.

In summary, as an outstanding representative of modern refrigeration technology, flake ice machine plays an irreplaceable role in many industries with its unique design advantages, efficient ice making efficiency, wide range of applications and convenient installation and maintenance characteristics. From food processing to fishery preservation, from manufacturing to construction, flake ice machines, with their excellent performance and flexible adaptability, meet the needs of different fields for efficient refrigeration.
