Where there’s seafood, there must be ice. Keep it fresh, keep it consistent — with Praj Refrigeration’s Flake Ice Solutions.

Flake ice is highly regarded for its hygiene and purity, making it the ideal cooling medium in food preservation. At Praj Refrigeration Industries, our flake ice machines are designed to produce ice that is clean, safe, and ready for direct contact with food items.

Thanks to its thin and irregular shape, flake ice conforms closely to the surface of products, delivering fast and even cooling. This uniformity helps eliminate temperature fluctuations — critical for maintaining the freshness, texture, and shelf life of perishable goods like fish and poultry.

Whether it’s for seafood processing, cold storage, or distribution, Praj’s flake ice Machine ensure your products stay cool and your standards stay high.

Flake ice is widely regarded as more economical than crushed ice, primarily due to its slower melting rate during loading and storage. Its large surface area-to-volume ratio enables faster and more efficient heat transfer, allowing it to cool products more quickly than other ice forms.

In addition to its superior cooling efficiency, flake ice is easy to dispense and evenly distribute — making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from filling beverage containers to packing and transporting perishable goods. This rapid cooling capability, combined with its versatility, ensures maximum freshness and helps preserve the quality and appearance of fresh produce throughout the supply chain.

Flake ice is gentle on products — upon contact, it breaks rather than bruising or damaging delicate surfaces. This makes it especially suitable for sensitive applications, where product integrity is critical. Its soft texture and moldability allow it to conform closely around items, making it ideal not only for food preservation but also for specialized uses such as physical therapy and cold treatment packs.

With less than 2% residual water content, flake ice is dry and delivers maximum cooling performance. It’s also the coldest form of ice available, and its fragment thickness — adjustable between 1 to 2 mm — allows it to be tailored for different operational needs.

Thanks to these features, flake ice is a preferred choice across industries. From seafood display cabinets in supermarkets to the transportation of perishables, and even in bakeries for controlling dough temperature, Praj’s flake ice technology ensures optimal performance and consistent cooling.
