Pure Ice Production Process And Solutions

The current edible ice market has formed a "pyramid-shaped" category structure. Against the background of differentiated consumption, updated ice-eating concepts, and diversified products, consumers' demand for high-quality ice products is increasing. As a high-end sub-product of edible ice, the market size of high-end pure ice is also expanding accordingly.

High-end Pure Ice Making Principle and Technology

The core principle of producing high-transparency pure ice is: high-quality purified water + directional slow freezing + impurity removal. According to this principle, we set low-temperature cold sources (-30℃ to -40℃) at the bottom and sides of the ice mold, and then scientifically configure slow-flow water pumps to force water to flow slowly from one side to the other and freeze (at a speed of about 2-5mm/h), forcing bubbles and impurities to be pushed to the unfrozen water body for discharge, thereby obtaining high-end pure ice with high transparency and hardness.

Pure Ice Production Process

Access to purified water: remove impurities, microorganisms, minerals and odors to ensure that water quality reaches drinking grade or even higher standards.

Pure ice machine ice making: professional ice making equipment controls temperature and speed to produce bubble-free, high-transparency large ice blocks.

Ice cutting: Cut the large ice blocks produced by the pure ice machine into standard sizes to meet the regular ice blocks required for further processing.

Ice cube packaging: Through cutting and processing equipment, ice cubes are cut into ball ice, boiling ball ice, Colin ice, and large cube ice.

Pure ice machine: The high-transparency pure ice machine independently developed and designed by Icemedal Refrigeration can produce crystal clear high-quality ice cubes with a light transmittance of more than 98% under the blessing of multi-stage filtered pure water. This high-transparency pure ice not only presents a crystal-like clear texture visually, but also provides a purer iced experience for high-end beverages with a purity of almost zero impurities, becoming a quality choice for professional cocktails, star-rated catering and other scenes.

Pure ice cutting machine:Icemedal Refrigeration has deeply penetrated the pure ice production line, and has developed and designed cutting equipment that is highly matched with pure ice. Through appropriate adjustment, large pure ice can be cut into ice blocks of different thicknesses and specifications to provide support for the next step of processing. As a pre-processing equipment for high-end pure ice products, the pure ice cutting machine is mainly used to cut large blocks of pure ice produced by the pure ice machine into regular ice blocks of a compliant size that can meet the requirements of further processing. It is an important and indispensable equipment for the production and processing of large ball ice, Colin ice, large cube ice, etc.

Clear Block Ice

Pure ice cutting machine: The cutting equipment developed and designed by Icemedal Refrigeration is equipped with a high-precision CNC system and high-strength alloy steel blades. It uses variable frequency drive technology to achieve free thickness adjustment within the range of 0.5-10cm, thereby producing high-quality ball ice with an error within ±1mm. There is also a scalding ice machine, which can produce large ball ice by scalding ice.

High-end pure ice application

High-end pure ice has a transparency of more than 98%, presenting a crystal-clear texture. After multi-layer reverse osmosis filtration and deep degassing treatment, the impurity content is almost zero, and the special low-temperature solidification technology gives the ice excellent physical properties, with a hardness 40% higher than that of ordinary ice, not easy to break in drinks, and super long melting resistance. The amount of water melted in 30 minutes is 35% less than that of conventional ice.

Pure ice can not only effectively slow down the dilution rate of drinks and accurately retain the original aroma of drinks, but also add artistic beauty to high-end drinks such as cocktails and whiskey with a transparent and flawless visual effect. It has become a professional choice for bartenders, a quality mark for high-end restaurants, and a service highlight of star-rated hotels. It is widely used in bars, high-end restaurants, private tastings, high-end banquets and other top global catering consumption scenes.
