Plant information

KTI flake ice plants are proven, high-performance solutions for reliable ice production. Designed with advanced technology and built for durability, they ensure consistent output and efficient operation across demanding environments. For over 35 years, KTI has been delivering ideal cooling solutions for industrial processes worldwide. With a strong track record in quality and innovation, their flake ice systems continue to set the standard for efficient and dependable ice-based cooling.

  • For all KTI flake ice plants are Ice thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm can be realized, which can be adjusted according to the application and customer requirements.
  • A KTI flake ice machine can be used by 10 to 100 tons of flake ice per day produce.
  • It is turnkey installed in a 40-foot ISO container and is easy to transport, quick to commission and uncomplicated to expand thanks to its modular design.
  • KTI flake ice systems can also be pre-installed on frames to utilize existing buildings.
  • All KTI flake ice machines are equipped with Ice makers from renowned manufacturers equippedwhich have fixed vertical drums. Thus prevents the risk of refrigerant leakage, as there are no shaft seals. Special blades mechanically remove the flake ice on the inside of the ice maker.
  • Rotating, horizontal ice makers are also used for special applications. These offer the Advantage of easier cleaning and reduce the charge of refrigerant.

Your advantages of KTI flake ice machines

  • KTI flake ice machines have the smallest space requirement at maximum power.
  • KTI flake ice machines come preinstalled and are taken very quickly in operation .
  • KTI flake ice machines are designed for high Energy efficiency optimized.
  • KTI flake ice machines are modularly expandable and fit on KTI Ice Storage.
  • KTI flake ice plants produce Flake ice with the highest quality.

Expert knowledge

In combination with the KTI ice storage systems, the KTI flake ice plant represents a compact and sensible solution for the production of ice. Flake ice produced with KTI equipment is supercooled and of the best quality. Due to the large surface area of flake ice, it quickly absorbs a lot of heat.
Furthermore, the nature of flake ice prevents injury to the skin of fish, making it perfect for cooling fish right after catch and excellent for packaging seafood.
