Flake Ice for Seafood and Food Processing
Learn why flake ice is widely used for seafood, meat, bakery, produce and other food processing cooling applications.
Flake ice has a large contact surface and can wrap products evenly, which makes it useful when fast temperature reduction is more important than ice appearance.
Why food processors use flake ice
Thin flake ice cools quickly, mixes easily and reduces the need for manual crushing. It is used in seafood, meat, bakery, produce and chemical cooling processes.
Seafood cooling advantages
Flake ice can surround fish and seafood with broad contact, helping reduce temperature quickly during landing, transport and processing.
Key selection points
