The Split-Type Flake Ice Maker FIM300 FIM500 is a high-capacity laboratory ice production system designed for research facilities requiring consistent flake ice supply. The system produces 300 kg of small particle irregular snow ice per 24-hour period, with integrated storage capacity of 200 kg. The split-type design separates the ice-making head from storage components for flexible installation in space-constrained laboratory environments.
The unit operates on air-cooling condensation with a SECOP compressor and R404a refrigerant system, maintaining reliable ice production within ambient temperatures of 10-35°C. The stainless steel tank construction provides chemical resistance and easy sanitization for laboratory applications. Standard accessories include water inlet and drainage pipes plus ice retrieval spoon, with optional filtration available for enhanced water quality control.
How It Works
The flake ice production system operates through a refrigeration cycle using R404a refrigerant and air-cooling condensation. Water enters the evaporator chamber where it contacts a cooled cylindrical surface maintained below freezing by the refrigeration system. As water flows over this surface, it forms thin ice layers that are continuously scraped off by rotating blades, creating small irregular flake particles.
The SECOP compressor circulates refrigerant through the evaporator coils while ambient air provides heat removal through the air-cooling condenser. The split-type configuration allows the ice-making head to be positioned separately from the storage bin, enabling installation flexibility while maintaining efficient ice transport. Produced ice accumulates in the insulated stainless steel storage compartment until retrieved.
