Vegetables

In the Vegetables Sector, Sub-Cooled Flake Ice (-7°C) or Chip Ice (-1°C) is often essential. Ice Systems offers both types, tailored to your specific needs and applications. Whether it's for Field Harvest, Packaging, or Transportation, Ice Systems has you covered.

Flake ice is a popular choice in the industry for its large surface area and ability to mould to irregular shapes. Its brittle structure makes it ideal for packing and preserving delicate products, like florette vegetables, without affecting texture or appearance.

Chip ice, on the other hand, is sometimes preferred for its near-melting temperature of -1°C. In transportation, for example, chip ice melts gradually, allowing it to settle between products and maintain a consistent temperature throughout transit.

Our engineer says...

“Broccoli Processor, Isaac was at an existing customer servicing one of their machines, and he asked, what do you use the ice for? The customer said that this particular machine produces ice for a Tesco product line. When harvested, Broccoli continues to grow. Adding sub-cooled flake ice not only keeps the product fresh, but it also slows the growth, keeping the product within spec for their customer.”

Chip Ice Benefits:

Chip ice is regularly chosen for vegetables due to its temperature of -1°C, which is close to melting. This allows the ice to melt and move around the product during transport, ensuring an even temperature distribution.
