| TUBE ICE MACHINE |
FLAKE ICE MACHINE |
| Direct refrigeration through heat transfer tubes resulting in less energy consumption. |
Continuous operation of flaker motor across the freezing plate, resulting in high electricity consumption. |
| No moving parts in ice maker and only one cutter assembly provided for ice sizing. |
Flake ice maker. |
| Has in-built chilling system and does not require any external chilling plant further reducing electricity consumption. |
Needs chilled water feed during peak temperature conditions for tropical climates. |
| Can be conveyed through inexpensive screw conveyor or gravity. |
Flake ice is sensitive to minute temperature changes and tends to lump in storages. |
| Uniform size of 1″ diameter, hence reduces meltage and zero lump formation. |
Flake ice damages certain products due to its sharp edges. |
| Consistent output, throughout working life of plant. |
Over time, output capacity reduces and deliver less then rated capacity. |
