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 in a meat processing factory. The machine has gone in on a 6-week trial basis so the customer has the opportunity to thoroughly test it to see 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 hoping to switch over to sub-cooled flake ice. Each product they produce currently has water as part of the recipes, with its main purpose being to bond ingredients together to achieve an even mix and consistent product.

Sub-cooled flake ice offers effective product cooling while also meeting water requirements. It leaves no residue, and its thin, flat structure quickly releases cooling energy directly into the product. This means it achieves the desired results without relying on expensive 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 just as easily as water, achieving both cooling and water content simultaneously.

Cost Saving

With Ice Systems, once our customers’ trial periods are over, they have the decision to purchase or rent.

This particular customer has already made the decision to purchase their industrial sub-cooled flake ice machine and has estimated they will save £200,000+ in the first year by switching from CO₂ to sub-cooled flake ice.
