Industrial Ice Machine

Our Industrial Ice Machines are used in many different industries. If you need large quantities of ice to cool your products, our Ice Machine is a good solution. By using Omega Laser Plates, you will get a machine that is relatively small in size and is easy to maintain. Based on your needs, we run heat transfer calculations to see which capacity of Ice Machine you need. Our Ice Machines are always custom-made and designed to your specification.

How does an Ice Machine work?

At the top of the Ice Machine, water is pumped in and falls through small holes then slowly flows down the Omega Laser Plates. The coolant in the Laser Plates cools the water down until it is frozen. When the ice on both sides of the plate is approximately 3/16” to 3/8” thick, then hot gas is injected into the Laser Plates, causing the plates to warm up and release the ice from the plates. The ice falls into a storage tank and breaks into smaller pieces. This ice can be transported by a transport screw to the desired location.

Advantages

  • No moving parts which means maintenance is minimal
  • Low energy consumption
  • High ice production for such a small machine
  • Easy to keep clean

LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION

MINIMAL MAINTENANCE

SPECIFICATIONS

All of our Ice Machines are custom-made. Together with an engineer, we look at your cooling needs. If required, we will run a heat transfer calculation. Below are our options:

Capacity

Depending on your requirements, Omega Ice Machines produce from 1 ton up to >100 tons/ice per unit.
Per Laser Plate, 3/16” – 3/8” of ice can be frozen on both sides at a time.

Cooling medium

Almost all coolants can be used with these types of Ice Machines, such as R717, Glycol, CO2, R22, R134A and R404A.

Material

The Ice Machine is made of stainless steel, such as 304, 316, SMO-254 and Duplex 2205.

Applications

Ice Machines were originally used for the fresh food and beverage industry.
Below are examples of many more industries where our ice machines are used:
