Liquid Ice Machines

The liquid ice machines are an efficient way for processors and fishermen to chill perishable product. The catch is chilled more rapidly than other types of ice since the liquid ice flows freely and moves like water, getting into every small space or void. This allows greater cooling on all exposed areas of your product. Heat is removed faster and your product is cooled quicker. SFT offers self-contained liquid ice machines in a wide range of capacities both for on-land and onboard installs.

Liquid ice, also called slurry ice, is that kind of ice which is made up of millions of ice micro-crystals which are very small. It is a unique chilling medium for fresh catches. This small type of ice creates a higher heat transfer area than the other kinds of ice, and because of this feature, the liquid ice results in faster cooling. This tiny crystal can form a suspension in seawater in any required concentration. The ice's semi-liquid state allows it to flow, work fast and efficiently chill from inside and out.
The liquid ice machine makes ice in liquid form from the seawater or salted water. The liquid ice machine provides quality chilling and proper temperature control throughout the harvest and storage process of the fresh and frozen material. The liquid ice machine supplies an exclusive range of binary ice generators which is currently used to good effect in pelagic fishing industries.
We use the latest liquid ice making technology to make the most cost-effective solution for rapid chilling and maintain the harvested seafood in the best quality. The liquid ice machines allow the fishermen to produce their own ice on board by directly using seawater.

Features

  • Liquid ice covers the fish completely and chills the fish instantly.

  • The best chilling of fish is up to 15 to 20 times better than conventional block ice.

  • It chills the caught fish as rapid as possible and keeps the fish at the temperature of -2℃ to -6℃.

  • This ice creates a soft ice bed for the fish, so it does not damage the fish.

  • Seawater can be used directly to produce liquid ice.

  • These machines are made of stainless steel SUS304 (SUS316L are optional).

  • It provides high refrigeration efficiency with low input of power.

  • Ice density of this machine is around 40% - 70%.

  • This machine is easy to distribute and handle and so that it increases productivity.

Applications

The liquid ice machines are used in a broad purpose in different kinds of industries, such as supermarkets, cooling, pelagic fishing, and storage of fish, to produce poultry and other perishable products.
