The Benefits of Flake Ice

Not all ice machines are created equal. In fact, there are many types of ice available, and the differences serve a purpose.

Flake ice

East Coat Refrigeration brand partner Manitowoc defines flake ice as "small, soft pieces of ice [that] form around [an] object without bruising." Below, we take a look at the benefits of this type of ice:

1. It prevents tipping and spilling

Flake ice may be light and fluffy, but its texture actually helps to hold products in place. This is especially pertinent for businesses in the food service industry. For instance, fish markets that put their seafood on display.

2. It's attractive

Flake ice is also just plain good looking! Whether you use it to make slushies or store salads, attractiveness counts. This is something to keep in mind when shopping for the right ice machine.

3. It's  multifunctional

Although it's popular within the food service industry, flake ice can also be applied elsewhere. For example, it's great in a medical setting, when ice is needed to treat pain.
