Automation solutions in flake ice production will significantly reduce manual labor. Automating flake ice distribution can eliminate the high personnel costs associated with shovelling and lifting ice; for example when preparing food display cases with ice. Especially supermarkets can considerably reduce their handling costs by deciding for an automatic flake ice silo type AS with pneumatic dispension system.
One or several flake ice machines are installed on top of a stainless steel silo, in which the flake ice is stored until its extraction. A spiral conveyor in the silo delivers the ice to a dosage system. Thanks to pneumatics, the display is filled with flake ice by means of a dosing tube. The time-consuming and labour-intensive manual shovelling of tons of flake ice is no longer necessary!
