An industrial ice machine is a high-capacity machine designed to create ice on a commercial scale. This machine is often used in industrial applications such as manufacturing, food and beverage product processing, and pharmaceutical industries where product refrigeration is necessary. Just like a smaller-scale ice maker turns liquids into ice, the commercial version creates ice more efficiently using various techniques.
Commercial ice makers have a refrigeration system consisting of compressors, condensers, evaporators, and expansion valves, all of which are used to create cold temperatures for the ice-making process. The compressor compresses a refrigerant gas, then flows to the condenser, releasing heat and transforming it into a high-pressure liquid. Next, the liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, causing it to expand and evaporate. An evaporator inside of the machine will typically receive refrigerant while in its gas state then ultimately turn water into ice cubes. These ice machines are all designed to freeze water quickly and at a rate that is necessary for temperature control within commercial use.
Commercial ice machines increase the volume of ice produced and they're cost-effective as well as energy-efficient. Commercial equipment is made to withstand continuous use without the need for frequent repairs or replacements. An industrial machine is the best way to guarantee dependability when it comes to product refrigeration and temperature control.
Industrial ice equipment offers the convenience and flexibility that best suits your needs as well as the available space in your facility. Some even offer advanced cooling mechanisms and self-cleaning functions to ensure the ice from your unit is always safe to use.
There are several ways to choose the ideal ice machine. For starters, you will want to choose the type of ice you need for your commercial use or application. Ice can be created in different thicknesses as well as ice types and shapes from a flake to a cube. Then, you'll want to determine the capacity and size. There are nugget ice machines, flake ice machines, and units with a larger capacity ice bin. The more specifications you can narrow it down to, the better. You'll also want to consider functionality and energy efficiency. Check out our available industrial ice machines and ice equipment here and start improving your business operations.
