Flake Ice Machines
A flake ice machine freezes a thin layer of water on a cold drum and scrapes it off as dry flakes 1.5–2.2 mm thick at about −5 °C to −8 °C. Be There supplies flake ice machines from 300 kg to 20 t per day, for freshwater or seawater.
−8 to −5 °CSpecifications
Typical models.
Drum-evaporator flake ice machines for seafood display, fishing boats, supermarkets, meat processing, concrete cooling and laboratories. Dry, sub-cooled flakes that mould around product without sharp edges. Values are typical; we configure voltage, size or capacity and confirm data on the quotation.

Features
Built for daily commercial use.
Dry, sub-cooled flakes
Flakes leave the drum below 0 °C, so they stay loose and don't bridge in storage.
Seawater option
Seawater models use a corrosion-resistant evaporator for boats and fishing ports.
Gentle on product
Flat flakes have no sharp edges and wrap around fish, meat and produce.
Storage and conveying
Insulated ice bins, ice rooms and screw conveyors for automatic handling.
