Ice flake machine ICE TECH SC5TN

A continuous supply of cold, dry flake ice keeps products chilled without clumping or melting too quickly. The ICE TECH SC5TN COMPACT ice maker produces flat flake ice in adjustable thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, allowing the operator to match the ice to the cooling task—whether rapid chilling, stable temperature maintenance, or attractive product presentation. The machine generates its own refrigeration cycle inside a single cabinet. A built-in compressor and condenser eliminate the need for an external refrigeration system or central cooling unit. Once connected to water and a three-phase electrical supply, the unit begins producing ice without further setup. This autonomy simplifies installation and keeps the system independent of building infrastructure. The direct-drive gear motor quietly spins the ice drum against the stainless steel evaporator, shaving off thin, dry flakes that slide down the wide exit chute without clogging or bridging. Water is drawn by a magnetic pump and sprayed onto a rotating evaporator drum. The drum freezes the water into a thin layer, which is then scraped off as flake ice and discharged through a 480 mm diameter exit. An electronic control system monitors water level, motor load and ice-bin fullness, stopping production automatically when the bin is full or if water runs low. The direct-drive gear motor and stainless steel base ensure stable performance under continuous professional use. The control panel provides access to thickness adjustment and system status indicators. Sensors for water level, motor overload and bin capacity are integrated, giving the operator immediate feedback on operating conditions. A low-water safety system prevents damage if the water supply is interrupted. With a footprint of 3900 mm long, 1220 mm wide and 1550 mm high, the unit occupies a defined worktop or floor space in production areas, cold rooms or display counters. Its 1450 kg weight reflects the robust construction needed for autonomous refrigeration, and the unit is designed to be moved on castors or a pallet truck. The 27.5 kW power rating requires a dedicated three-phase 400 V circuit, typical of high-capacity catering equipment. Daily upkeep centres on the water system and evaporator drum. The magnetic pump and water lines should be checked for scale or debris, and the drum surface kept clean to maintain consistent ice thickness. The stainless steel base resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down, while the electronic controls require no regular calibration. The SC5TN COMPACT is part of the SC Compact series, which offers fully autonomous ice makers in varying capacities. This model is placed in the catalogue under professional refrigeration for continuous ice production, alongside fish processing, supermarket display and industrial cooling applications.
