Flake Ice Plant

An ammonia flake ice plant produces thin, small, and dry ice flakes using ammonia (NH₃) as the refrigerant. Flake ice is widely used in seafood, meat processing, concrete cooling, and other industries requiring rapid cooling and good surface contact.

Key Features:

1. Ammonia Refrigeration System

• Uses natural ammonia refrigerant, which is eco-friendly with zero ODP and GWP

• Provides high thermal efficiency and low operating costs for ice production

2. Produces High-Quality Flake Ice

• Ice flakes are thin, dry, and brittle

• Excellent surface contact with products for rapid cooling

• Typically produced at temperatures around -5°C to -8°C

3. Continuous Ice Production

• Designed for continuous operation with high ice output capacity

• Can produce anywhere from a few tons to tens of tons of ice per day depending on size

4. Energy Efficient

• Ammonia’s excellent thermodynamic properties reduce power consumption

• Optimized evaporators and compressors designed specifically for ice making

5. Compact and Modular Design

• Equipment is often modular for easy installation and scalability

• Small footprint compared to other ice types like block or tube ice

6. Easy Handling and Storage

• Flake ice is easy to transport and store

• Melts slowly and provides gentle cooling, preventing product damage

7. Hygienic Construction

• Stainless steel or food-grade materials in contact with water and ice

• Designed for easy cleaning and compliance with food safety standards

8. Automatic Control and Safety

• Automated control systems for temperature, pressure, and ice production rate

• Includes ammonia leak detection, emergency shutdowns, and ventilation
