Icematic: Flake Ice Machines

CastelMAC, the manufacturer of Icematic Ice Makers, is known as a leader in the production of ice makers. In part this is due to their understanding of the importance of ice to any number of businesses. Flake ice is a very versatile product with many applications across multiple industries. Flake ice helps conserve and display fresh fish, can be used in hospitals and it even has a role for butchers during the production of sausages and bread to chill the mix. Icematic machines create flake ice in two different variations: Flake and Super-flake. Flake ice contains has a 25% residual water content, which makes it very moist. The flake shape makes it extremely versatile and very simple to use effectively. Super-flake ice is more compact and is extruded at temperatures just below 0° Celsius. Super-Flake ice only retains 15-18% of the residual water, which makes it dryer than Flake ice and ideal then for displaying foods, especially seafood, super-flake ice lasts much longer, releasing moisture over a longer period of time without the need for ice replenishment on the display counter.
