What Is Marine Flake Ice Machine?

 

Marine seawater ice machine is a type of ice-making equipment installed on fishing vessels. It directly utilizes seawater to produce flake ice, which is used for cooling and preserving freshly caught fish. The components of the marine seawater ice machine that come into contact with water are made of stainless steel 316L to prevent corrosion from seawater. The compact size of the marine seawater ice machine makes it suitable for use on various types of navigating vessels.

Differences Between Marine Flake Ice Machine and Conventional Flake Ice Machine?

Conventional ice machines refer to ice-making machines used on land. They typically use freshwater to produce flake ice or other ice shapes for applications in beverages, food, or industrial settings. The components of conventional ice machines that come into contact with water can be made of stainless steel or carbon steel materials, depending on the application and quality requirements. 

The main differences between marine seawater ice machines and conventional ice machines are as follows:

• Different Ice-Making Raw Materials:

Marine seawater ice machines use seawater, while conventional ice machines use freshwater.

• Different Ice-Making Temperatures:

The ice-making temperature for marine seawater ice machines is -30°C, whereas for conventional ice machines, it is -5°C. This implies that marine seawater ice machines require more refrigeration horsepower to produce ice⁵.

• Different Ice-Making Mechanisms:

Marine seawater ice machines employ a piston-type compressor and an extended oil tank to overcome the severe rocking of the vessel. These machines can operate normally even when the vessel is tilted at a 30-degree angle. Conventional ice machines may use screw or scroll compressors and do not require special anti-vibration design.

• Different Ice-Making Modes:

Marine seawater ice machines can only produce flake ice, while conventional ice machines can produce various shapes of ice, including flake ice, cube ice, tube ice, and spherical ice.
