Maintaining freshness is non-negotiable in seafood processing. From the moment fish or shellfish are harvested, temperature control directly impacts quality, shelf life, and food safety. Ice plays a central role in that process, but not all ice performs equally. The two most common types used in the industry are scale ice and chip ice. Understanding…
Yes, scale ice cools faster than chip ice because it has a larger surface area and makes fuller contact with the product. This improves heat transfer efficiency, allowing temperatures to drop more quickly and evenly. When comparing ice types in commercial and industrial environments, the structure and behavior of the ice play a significant role…
What is Scale Ice? Scale ice is made up of small, flat, thin pieces of ice that usually have a soft and crumbly texture, typically ranging from 0.059 inches to 0.098 inches in thickness. The process for making scale ice involves spraying a thin layer of water onto a cooled vertical drum, that breaks it…
For many businesses, ice is not a once-in-a-while purchase. It is something you rely on every day. Yet many companies continue buying bagged ice long after it stops making financial sense. Choosing between bagged ice and a long-term or rented commercial ice machine is not just about the price per bag. It affects how much…
As spring arrives and temperatures begin to rise, bakeries face a similar challenge: keeping production consistent as the environment starts to warm up. Warmer conditions can have a direct impact on dough performance. Higher ambient temperatures speed up yeast activity, often leading to over-proofing, stickier dough, and less control over the final product. That’s where…
A new year gives many businesses a chance to reset and refine their ways of working. At Ice Systems, we help companies improve their production with a new industrial ice machine that supports consistent output and reliable temperature control. Many sectors now rely on precise cooling to maintain quality, so investing in upgraded equipment can…
