Seawater Flake Ice Machines Video

Yes, our seawater flake ice machine freezes seawater directly without requiring desalination. This ice cools fish and seafood aboard fishing vessels and at coastal processing plants. When the ice contacts catch directly, you still need clean intake water, sanitary storage, and hygienic handling practices.

Yes, we build our marine flake ice machines specifically for shipboard use to handle vessel rolling and pitching. We also match each unit to your deck or hold space, onboard power supply, cooling water conditions, and mounting layout. Our machine selection guide explains how these marine operating factors shape the refrigeration and installation setup.

Our marine units use corrosion-resistant materials across all surfaces exposed to seawater and salt air. Even with anti-corrosion construction, regular maintenance remains essential. Operators should routinely clean water-contact parts, filters, and drains, clear mineral deposits, and inspect the condenser, pumps, seals, and electrical terminals. Follow the service schedule in your manual based on local water quality and running hours.

Calculate your peak daily catch, incoming fish temperature, voyage length, hold insulation, and expected melt loss. Next, factor in your daily ice-making hours, existing bin capacity, and available generator power. Our marine range covers 1 to 30 tons per 24 hours. See our fishery ice sizing guide to calculate both initial chilling and hold-cooling loads.

Pricing depends on daily output, anti-corrosion material grades, refrigeration components, voltage specs, and condenser cooling method. Onboard space limits, mounting layout, and ice storage or delivery equipment also shape the total cost. We quote customized FOB China prices based on your final build.
