The thickness of ice produced by our shell ice machine can be adjusted from 3mm to 12mm. Clear, hard all-purpose ice has great lasting quality and can be bagged, blown, conveyed or scooped without deterioration.
Water flows over both the inside and outside surfaces of the double, tapered, stainless-steel tubes.
Refrigerant fills the space between the inner and outer tube surfaces. Clear ice forms on the tubes. When the ice has reached the desired per-set thickness, the water automatically stops flowing. Hot gas is introduced into the space previously filled with refrigerant, and in short time, release the ice.
The ice falls into a stainless-steel outlet conveyor which breaks the ice into nuggets and discharges them.
