What are the main classifications of ice machines?

Ice makers can be divided into commercial ice makers, household ice makers, and industrial ice makers.
The ice maker is divided into ice shapes: granular ice (cylindrical, cube, moon), snowflake, flake ice, slab ice, tube ice, and the newly developed spherical ice.
According to the ice making method, granular ice is divided into spray type, flowing water type and immersion type.
Cylindrical ice is generally made by spraying ice. This method of ice making has a low freezing point and can reach below minus 20°C. The contact surface between the cylindrical surfaces is small, and it is not easy to stick into a mass, and it is convenient to use ice. Cylindrical ice cubes have high hardness, low temperature, and crystal clear ice cubes. They are suitable for cooling foreign wines. The slower melting speed will not dilute the foreign wines, but will affect the taste of the foreign wines. The disadvantage of the cylindrical ice maker is that the efficiency of ice production is relatively low. , Generally used in the production of bar table small ice machines.
The temperature of flake ice is -6℃~ -12℃, which is most suitable for the cooling of industrial processing and transportation of perishable items. It is often used for seafood display on supermarket fresh food stands. Large scale ice can also be used in cement plants, chemical plants, meat plants, marine fisheries, etc.
Refrigeration methods can be divided into: water-cooled ice maker and air-cooled ice maker.
