Industry Knowledge Introduction

Hotels, supermarkets, beverage chain stores, schools, airlines, healthcare, and other industries all require specific solutions for ice used in food and beverages.
Various types of ice, such as tube ice, flake ice, ball ice, diamond ice, and nugget ice, each with different shapes but similar functions, are utilized as additives in beverages or directly in food. Within the same context, differing usage requirements may necessitate the use of various types of ice. For example, in hotels, square or tube ice is commonly employed for carbonated and juice beverages, while ball or diamond-shaped ice is preferred for whiskey, vodka, and other spirits to enhance their smooth texture.

In the past, many establishments utilized small ice makers for their ice production needs. However, worries about the health and safety of food ice, equipment damage and maintenance, as well as the high water and electricity consumption during operation have caused frustration among operators. Minor oversights, such as a staff member forgetting to wash their hands or a small ice maker not having its water filter promptly replaced, can lead to health incidents concerning edible ice, resulting in inestimable losses for brands.

Nowadays, more and more operators are transitioning from decentralized ice supply to centralized ice supply, which involves high operating costs and high maintenance costs for small ice makers. Large ice machines not only save on maintenance costs but also on electricity consumption, leading to unified and standardized management. This not only ensures the health and safety of food ice but also reduces operating costs. Investors have seen business opportunities and have invested in edible ice factories.
