Premium Flake Ice Machine & Rake Ice System Technical Specifications
Flake ice features dry, loose, irregular flake shapes with a thickness ranging typically between 1.5mm to 2.2mm. Due to its large contact surface area and exceptional heat exchange efficiency, flake ice delivers rapid cooling and can be thoroughly mixed without sharp points to damage the products to be cooled. It is widely recognized as the best solution for seafood preservation, food processing, concrete mixing, and chemical reaction temperature control. For large-scale industrial projects, integrating a high-capacity flake ice machine with an automated rake ice storage system is critical to achieving unattended, continuous, and high-volume ice distribution.
Large Contact Surface Area & Rapid Cooling
Spiral Skateboard Design with No Damage
Continuous Butt Welding Evaporator
Uniform Ice Thickness & Non-Stick Dryness
Polishing After Electroplating
Precision polishing after electroplating makes the internal evaporator surface smooth, ensuring easier ice dropping, higher ice output, and significantly prolonging the lifespan of the ice cutter.
Inside Scraping Making Ice
Adopts a standing inside screwing ice cutting evaporator design. During the ice making period, water is sprinkled on the internal side of the evaporator and quickly frozen, then ice is cut down by a screw scrape cutter, reducing abrasion with high-quality sealing.
Anneal Relieves Internal Stress
Large welding structures undergo an exclusive high-temperature annealing process inside the bucket. This prevents the evaporator from warping or deforming under long-term thermal stress, ensuring consistent premium quality.
Circularity Detection
Before and after each manufacturing process, a micrometer is used to examine whether the evaporator bucket is perfectly circular, achieving a strict tolerance accuracy of 0.01mm.

FAQ - Flake Ice Machine Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the primary advantages of flake ice compared to tube ice or block ice?
-
A: Flake ice has a very large contact surface area, allowing it to rapidly transfer heat and cool items faster than any other ice type. It is loose, dry, non-stick, and lacks sharp corners, making it perfect for mixing into concrete or packing fresh fish without causing structural or physical damage.
Q2: How does the "Spiral Skateboard Design" protect the flake ice evaporator?
-
A: Our patented spiral skateboard layout inside the evaporator barrel ensures a perfectly smooth rotation. This advanced mechanism eliminates mechanical collision risks, completely avoiding structural damage or wear to the rotating ice blade.
Q3: Why does CBFI perform a high-temperature annealing process on its evaporators?
-
A: Large welding operations generate significant internal thermal stress inside the steel bucket. CBFI is one of the few manufacturers that implements a full annealing process to relieve this stress, preventing the evaporator from warping, twisting, or deforming after years of operation.
Q4: What is the benefit of performing "Polishing After Electroplating" on the ice bucket?
-
A: Polishing after electroplating achieves an incredibly smooth chrome-plated interior surface. This reduces friction during ice scraping, ensures a clean and rapid ice drop, maximizes daily ice output, and significantly extends the lifespan of the SUS304 ice cutter.
Q5: How accurate is the circularity detection of your flake ice evaporators?
-
A: We use precision micrometers to examine the cylinder before and after every manufacturing phase. Every CBFI evaporator bucket must pass a strict circularity inspection with a tolerance accuracy of 0.01mm to guarantee uniform ice thickness.
