Ice is a universal coolant in fisheries. However, not all ice is the same, and the type of ice you use can severely damage your catch and reduce profits. The flake ice used for fish cooling is an ideal choice to prevent the deterioration of fish and seafood due to its uniform cooling. This is especially important for fishing boats when fishing. In recent years, fishermen need to take longer fishing trips to reduce inshore fishing and consume these resources. A longer fishing trip means that it takes longer to process the fish correctly. Therefore, an onboard flake ice machine is required to produce flake ice for coastal cooling, which helps keep the fish at a longer temperature, which is essential for maintaining catch and gaining more profits.
Save your catch with flake ice
When a fish is caught, it begins to rot and the process of corruption begins. The corruption process largely depends on temperature. In fact, no other factors can affect the freshness of seafood as strongly as temperature. Higher temperatures will accelerate the process, while lower temperatures will significantly slow down the process. The fish needs to be kept at a temperature of about 0°C. Even if the temperature rises slightly to 4°C, the spoilage rate of seafood will double. Therefore, the colder the ice-the longer your fish can be kept, ICENICE flake ice used to cool the fish has become the first flake ice for coastal storage.
The advancement of modern refrigeration technology has given birth to lightweight flake ice machines that can be installed on almost any fishing boat. This allows fishermen to better control their fishing location and fishing time. The length of their trip is no longer limited by the amount of ice they load at the port or the time the ice can keep them caught. With our Corporation boat flake ice machine, no matter when you dock, your catch will be as fresh as the day it was captured.
The seafood industry shifts to flake ice
Flake ice is used in almost every step of the seafood supply chain and is superior to traditional ice cubes or crushed ice in many aspects. The flake ice used for fish cooling has a faster cooling speed, a larger surface area, uniform cooling, and perfect preservation of seafood products. It is also softer and has no sharp edges, so it is less likely to scratch or injure the fish during storage.
From the fishing boats with our ice flakers producing flake ice for seaboard storage throughout the trip, to the processing plant, from the storage facility to the seafood department of your local grocery store, flake ice is there every step of the way. During the processing and transportation process, seafood must be handled and preserved properly. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States has very specific guidelines for handling raw seafood to ensure their safety. One of these guidelines is to avoid the accumulation of unchilled fish at any time by ensuring a continuous flow in the handling of the seafood from the processing plant to the storage facility and finally to your local grocer or fishmonger. Processing plants and transportation companies rely on land-based flake ice machines to fill their ice needs every step of the way.
Why choose ICENICE ice shaver?
At ICENICE Corporation, our flake ice machines produce 1,000 to 20,000 pounds of 100% ice hardness per day. Harder ice will produce longer-lasting ice. What should we do? Our flaker wipes off excess water to achieve 100% ice hardness without uniced water. This means you will get the most energy-efficient flaker in the industry and the coldest and longest-lasting ice cubes on the market. In fact, our flake ice has a life span 2-3 times longer than that of our competitors.
At ICENICE, we are committed to helping the commercial seafood industry keep its products refrigerated, fresh, and ready for consumers—from the ocean to the table. Our flake ice machine is the best in the industry and is designed to keep seafood at a lower temperature for a longer period of time, which means that our customers can get more profits and less waste.
