Ice Generator GR / KS Granular Ice

What is Granular Ice and where is it used?

Granular Ice is a moist, fine and naturally shaped ice with approximately 25% moisture. It forms a flexible and adaptive ice mass that covers products evenly and ensures efficient cooling. This ice type is widely used in seafood displays, fresh food counters, buffets, as well as in medical and laboratory environments.

The high contact surface of Granular Ice allows rapid cooling while maintaining the structure and freshness of products. It is suitable for professional use throughout the day and provides consistent results.

Granular Ice properties and advantages

Granular Ice features a moist and elastic texture that adapts to any product shape. It does not create excessive water pools and maintains a stable consistency, ensuring long-lasting cooling. Its granular structure does not break apart easily, helping to preserve product quality.

This ice type is one of the most effective solutions for fresh product displays, offering hygiene, temperature stability and a professional appearance.

How ICE TECH GR ice makers work

ICE TECH GR machines use a vertical cylindrical evaporator where water freezes on the inner walls. A rotating auger breaks the ice layer and moves it upward, compressing it into granular form with approximately 25% moisture. This technology ensures uniform ice quality and reliable operation in demanding environments.

The machines use eco-friendly R290 or R452A refrigerants and are designed for energy-efficient performance. The construction supports continuous operation and consistent ice output.

Granular Ice applications in professional environments

Granular Ice is excellent for seafood, meat, fruits, salads and other fresh products that require attractive and hygienic display conditions. The moist structure prevents product dehydration and helps maintain freshness longer. The dense ice layer forms a protective barrier that retains low temperatures effectively.

It is also widely used in medical and laboratory settings where temperature control is crucial. Granular Ice is suitable for transportation, as it keeps its shape and avoids excessive water accumulation.
