Seafood Industry

Sub-Cooled Flake (-7°C) or Chip Ice (-1°C) are essential in the Seafood Sector. Ice Systems offers both types of ice depending on preference and application. From the Catch, Processing, Transportation or Presentation, Ice Systems can supply. 

Flake ice is popular within the industry due to its large surface area and ability to conform to irregular shapes, its brittle properties make it ideal for packing and preserving delicate seafood products without damaging texture or appearance.

Chip ice, on the other hand, is often chosen for its near-melting temperature of -1°C. During transportation, as an example, the chip ice melts and falls between the product, ensuring a consistent temperature throughout.

Our engineer says…

“During Isaac’s servicing trip in Scotland he visited one of our long term customers to complete a Free of Charge health check. Isaac discovered that although the customer mainly uses ice to keep the fish fresh during transportation, they also use ice when storing product. The customer said they do this to prevent the need to freeze the fish as this can affect the quality. He also likes the fact that they can store sub-cooled flake ice within his freezer, ready for promotion or the occasional UK heatwave!”
