Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine: Principle, Advantages And Applications

As an important part of ice making equipment, block ice machines are widely used in many fields, such as food preservation, aquatic product processing, chemical refrigeration, etc. Ice block machines are mainly divided into direct cooling block ice machines and brine block ice machines according to different refrigeration methods. With the advancement of refrigeration technology, direct cooling block ice machines have gradually become the mainstream choice in the market. This article will introduce in detail the principle, advantages and applications of direct cooling block ice machines in various industries.

The Principle of Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine

The direct cooling block ice machine uses direct cooling technology. Its refrigeration principle is to transfer the cold to the water through the evaporator directly contacting the ice mold, and gradually freeze the water into ice blocks. Compared with the traditional brine block ice machine, the direct cooling ice block machine does not need brine as an intermediate medium, but directly acts on the ice mold through the refrigerant to cool it down and freeze it. This refrigeration method not only improves the ice making efficiency, but also reduces the footprint of the equipment.

The Advantages of Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine 

Energy saving and high efficiency: Direct cooling block ice machine does not use brine medium, which reduces the energy loss in the heat exchange process. Therefore, under the same conditions, the energy consumption of direct cooling block ice machine is lower and the ice making efficiency is higher.

Easy to operate: The direct cooling block ice machine is simpler in design, and users can operate it through the intelligent control system. One-button start, one-button ice release and other functions make the operation more convenient and quick.

Environmentally friendly and clean: Since the direct cooling block ice machine does not use salt water, it avoids the problem of equipment aging caused by salt water corrosion and reduces the pollution of salt water to the environment. Therefore, the direct cooling block ice machine is more environmentally friendly.

Safety assurance: The entire ice-making process of the direct cooling block ice machine is carried out in a closed environment, reducing the risk of ice contamination. In addition, direct cooling block ice machines usually use food-grade materials to ensure the hygiene and safety of the ice.

The Application of Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine 

Direct cooling block ice machines are widely used in many industries such as food processing, aquatic product preservation, and chemical refrigeration. In the food processing industry, direct cooling block ice machines can quickly produce large blocks of ice for rapid cooling and preservation of food. In the aquatic industry, block ice can provide a stable low-temperature environment for acqutic products, extending their freshness. In addition, direct cooling block ice machines also have important applications in the chemical industry, especially in chemical products that need to be stored at low temperatures for a long time.
