| These units are equipped with an evaporator which is an insulated double wall stationary cylinder mounted in vertical position. Water is pumped into the top tray and then distributed on the inner surface as a continuous water curtain. Then the low temperature refrigerant inside the cylinder walls makes the water freeze to the surface. At last the ice knife removes the ice from the wall without touching the cylinder. Because the ice is produced on the inner wall of the ice drum, the drum itself is static and only the water distribution and ice knife are rotating. This allows the refrigeration system to be mounted in a rigid manner and stay completely sealed, which prevents the loss of refrigerant due to moving parts in the refrigeration system. |
 |
Before leaving the factory every unit is tested to meet specification parameters.
Units from 2,5 – 10 tons come with Bitzer semi-hermetic reciprocating (piston) compressors.
Units from 15 – 60 tons come with Bitzer screw compressors
|
Each unit comes with the following main components:
- Bitzer compressor(s)
- Insulated ice drum with external stainless steel cladding
- Switch board with mainly Telemecanique components
- Salt mixing system
- Galvanized steel frame (stainless steel optional)
|
 |
Three different condenser alternatives are offered:
- Air cooled condenser
- Evaporative condenser
- Water cooled condensor

Some key benefits of Recom Ice Systems Industrial Flake Ice Machines
- High energy efficiency year around because the ice drum is made of a special high heat transfer alloy
- Excellent reliability. Most of the cooling system components are sourced from European top manufacturers. The compressor originates from Danish manufacturer Danfoss-Maneurop, switching gear comes from Telemecanique, refrigeration components from Alco, Danfoss etc.
- Corrosion resistance: Drum cladding, the ice knife and the internal rotating mechanism are made of stainless steel, the steel unit frame is galvanized.
- High thermal energy storage due to dry sub cooled flake ice at -6°C / -7°C
- Possibility to change ice characteristics with the standard salt injection system
- Standard and tropical (high temperature) execution available
Recom Ice Systems are also able to deliver the ice storage, transport and weighing systems. Please check the relevant page(s) on this site.
