Snowkey | Food Packaging | Plate Ice Machine

Snowkey plate ice ranges from 5mm to 30mm in thickness and 20mm to 50mm in width and has no fixed shape. Thickness and width can be adjusted to suit your application.

About Plate Ice Machine:

It is clear, hard cracked ice; is pure in colour and lustre, hard, transparent, dry and powerless.

As it doesn’t melt easily, taking 30% more time to melt than other types of ice, it stores for long periods.

Snowkey plate ice machines pump water from a reservoir to a distributor above the plate. Water then is passed uniformly over a vertical stainless steel plate, which chills the ice. Depending on the thickness of ice you require, the water pump will switch off, and a hot gas will release the ice plate onto a rotating breaker bar.

Your cracked plate ice is stored in a container under the machine and is immediately ready for use.
