Our ice machines provide the ideal coolant for a wide range of products and applications

Applications:

Bakeries- Constant temperature control of the dough mix is crucial for product quality and yield. It results in predictable bread volume and weight, and ensures better texture and flavour. Accurate temperature control of dough also leads to benefits in processing such as better time management, less wastage, less machinery downtime and packaging errors. Ice is the simplest, most effective and most flexible means of targeting the dough temperature where all the issues combine i.e. as an ingredient within the mix itself.

Fish - Ice can be used for a range of applications throughout the seafood industry including the storage, packing, processing, shore-side handling, and transportation of fish. Ice is ideal for preserving fish and greatly improves product life. Also, used as slurry to stabilise defrosted blocks, and used prior to skinning, yield can be significantly increased.

Laboratories, hospitals, universities - Ice can be moulded to pack around limbs, for organ transportation and in particular for bioscience laboratory work in conserving samples.

Vegetable Growers - Field Heat and warm weather will cause reductions in shelf life; lower produce quality, crop wastage due to non-sale, and a lack of visual appeal at point of sale. All these problems inevitably result in a decrease in profitability. The causes are all temperature related and include dehydration, lack of cooling during transport, respiration, and bacterial growth. The cost effective solution is chip ice. Immediate lowering of temperature after harvest and throughout the chill chain eradicates most issues leaving attractive, high quality, saleable produce which has a longer shelf life.

Meat and poultry - Ice is used in the storage, processing, and transportation of meat and poultry. For example, it may be added to a meat grinder or kneading machine for precise control of the mix temperature caused by friction and ingredient variations. Applications in abattoirs, for cooling offal products, for both human and the pet food sectors, are also cost effective, for example, as an alternative to traditional liver cooling in chill rooms

Hides and Skins - Chip ice, as an alternative to traditional salting methods, substantially reduces process costs from the abattoir to initial processing. Advantages of using ice are that there is no pollution and no contamination by by-products, reducing time and effluent costs. Ice is suitable for all hides and skins, ensuring that the product is delivered to the customer in the best possible condition. It is simple and easy to apply, remains loose and pliable, quick to spread across hides for full and even coverage, thus reducing manual labour.

Other applications - Ice may also be used in the following industries - chemical industries to control exothermic reactions, food processing for pasta cooling or brine cooling etc, in dye manufacturing & silk processing, and salons/spas/sports venues for plunge baths and physiotherapy treatments.
