Ice Maker: Requirements for Different Ice Shapes

The shape of ice directly affects the user experience, and through technological design, ice makers can produce various forms such as flake ice, square ice, crescent ice, etc., to meet the differentiated needs of different scenarios.

Ice flakes are directly evaporated by an ice maker, forming thin sheets with a large contact area, fast cooling, and low adhesion. They are commonly used for fresh food preservation, cold chain transportation, and medical cold compress. For example, covering fish with ice sheets in the seafood section of a supermarket can quickly lock in fresh food and reduce water loss.

Fangbing is a common choice in dining scenes, with its regular shape that is easy to stack and suitable for bar cocktails and coffee shop cold drink making. Crescent ice, due to its hollow design in the middle, melts slower and is commonly used in hotels, restaurants, or long-term outdoor activities to avoid diluting drinks too quickly.

From home to commercial scenarios, the diverse ice production functions of ice machines are providing more accurate cold chain solutions for different industries by adapting to the shape of ice cubes.
