Flake ice machines are widely used in the food processing industry. It is a kind of ice machine. There are three types of flake ice machines based on the water resource, freshwater flake ice machines, seawater flake ice machines, and general industrial ice machines. The flake ice has features of thin, dry and loose white ice with thickness ranging from 1.0 mm to 2.2 mm, with irregular shapes, the diameter is at range from 12 to 45 mm.
After the food is sterilized at high temperature, it is quickly cooled by mixing with ice and water to avoid bacterial growth and maintain the original flavor of the product; In the reaction, the temperature control process with ice can effectively control the decomposition of diazonium salt; during the tumbling and mixing process of sausage production, the high temperature generated through the friction between the high-speed rotating tumbling barrel and the ingredients promotes the growth of bacteria, changes the color and taste of the meat, and causes the degreasing (melting of fat) to exceed the standard of bacteria in the produced sausages, the color is dull, and the taste is relatively good. Hard and greasy.
When the flake ice is mixed into the ingredients of the sausage, it will rapidly get in an ideal cooling concentration, so as to maintain the color and taste of the product, protect food from degreasing, and improve hygiene standards.
Types of Flake Ice Machine
According to the shape of the ice cubes produced by the ice-making mechanism, it can be divided into tube ice machine, block ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine and pellet ice machine; according to the different functions used, it can be divided into edible ice machine, industrial Use ice maker, commercial ice maker, household ice maker, industrial ice maker. Generally speaking, the ice produced by the tube ice machine and the pellet ice machine is mainly to meet people's edible needs. The ice cubes are relatively small and suitable for fast food restaurants and cold drink shops, while the ice cubes produced by other ice machines are relatively large. For industrial use.
Basing on the shape of the ice maker: there is granular ice (cylindrical, cube, moon), snowflake, flake ice, slab ice, tube ice, etc. According to the ice-making method, granular ice is divided into spray type, flowing water type and immersion type. Cylindrical ice is generally produced by spraying ice. This method of ice making has a low freezing point and can reach below minus 20°C. The contact surface between the cylindrical surfaces is small, and the ice cubes are not easy to stick together, and the ice cubes are convenient to use.
High hardness, low temperature, and crystal clear ice cubes, which are all Cylindrical ice cubes’ features. They are suitable for cooling foreign wines. The slower melting rate will not dilute the wine, but it will affect the taste of the wine. It is often applied in seafood displays on supermarket fresh food stands. Large-scale ice can also be used in cement plants, chemical plants, meat plants, marine fisheries, etc.
The Work Principle of Flake Ice Machine
The working principle of the evaporative condenser is to send the high-temperature steam that needs to be condensed into the coil from the upper inlet of the heat exchange coil. The high-temperature steam releases heat in the heat exchange coil, undergoes a phase change, and condenses into a liquid after cooling. Circulating spray water is used as the cooling medium outside the heat exchange coil so that the water is evenly sprayed on the outer surface of the heat exchange coil to form a uniform and moderate water film, which absorbs the heat released by the hot steam in the coil and evaporates, And then through the fan to take the water vapor out of the evaporative condenser to take away the heat in the coil. The evaporative condenser uses the latent heat of evaporation of spray water, uses ambient air as the medium, and uses the ambient wet-bulb temperature as the temperature difference for heat exchange. It has low condensation temperature, large heat transfer temperature difference, sufficient heat exchange, low power consumption, stable performance, etc. advantage.
Advantages of Flake Ice Machine
Scientific structural design
Fine processing make the product high efficient
Energy saving
Environmentally friendly
People-first is focused on safety and operation
Flake ice has no sharp edges and corners and will not stab frozen objects. It can enter the gap between the cooled objects, reduce heat exchange, maintain the temperature of the ice, and have a good moisturizing effect.
Flake ice has an excellent refrigeration effect and has the characteristics of large and rapid refrigeration, so it is mainly used in various large-scale refrigeration facilities, food quick freezing, concrete cooling and so on.
