Ice helps to keep food in an optimal state for consumption. Its use is essential in certain areas of the industrial and health sector. That is why it is easy to find ice machines in hospitals, fish markets or restaurants.
Even though they are such common machines, there is scant information about how they work, their benefits and main uses. Concepts to consider whenpurchasing an ice machineto make sure you choose the best one for your needs.
If you want to knowhow to make iceand get the best results, just carry-on reading.
ICE MAKING PROCESS AND BENEFITS
How does the ice machine work?
The water comes from an outside source and rises through a tremendously icy metallic cladding, which, in less than 60 seconds, turns the water into columns of ice.
A stainless-steel spiral raises the ice columns to the upper part of the machine, where a rotating arm splits the columns, turning them into cubes and sending them to the freezer where they are stored.
Thanks to a sensor
located above the freezerand inside the machine, the machine stops making
ice when the freezer where the cubes are stored no longer has enough space to
hold any more. Thesecubes can be of different shapesas it depends on the ice machine: they can come out in one way or
another, but the most common are square and cylindrical ice cubes. However,
this ice can be delivered to the end customer in the form of flakes (or as it
is known, in "crushed” form).
Benefits
of having your own ice machine Firstly,
it is possible to make a large amount of ice per day: some of our models can
make up to450kg of cubes in 24 hours. This
means that you will never lack for supply, since you can manufacture it in a
short time and continuously. In addition, the economic aspect is also a plus
point, since it only takes a minimal investmentand you no longer have to resort to wholesale suppliers who charge
much more than the actual cost of manufacturing for your ice packs. How
does the ice machine work? It is
important for the machine to be ina place that is neither too
hot, nor too cold. Therefore, it is recommended to place it in a kitchen as far away
as possible from any ovens or other equipment giving off heat. Of course, it
must be easily accessibleso that it can be easily
connected to a power and water sources, and with enough space for the equipment
to cool down naturally.
