1. OptimICE® Liquid Ice Machine

OptimICE® is a liquid slurry ice technology that replaces conventional flake ice. The liquid slurry ice is produced on board the ship or onshore using seawater or saltwater. The liquid slurry ice surrounds the fish, quickly cooling it down below 0°C and keeping the temperature around -0.5°c

2. OptimICE® PreCooler

The PreCooler ensures that the temperature of the products is always 0°C during production, as well as maximizing the quality and lengthening the shelf life of the product
The PreCooler is used to obtain optimal utilization of the OptimICE® system in variant circumstances.

3. OptimICE® Storage Tank

The tanks make it possible to deliver large quantities of OptimICE® liquid ice in a short period of time. The tanks are designed to maintain a homogenous ice mixture. This is achieved by continually stirring the mixture. Tanks are dual shell manufactured from plastic with air insulation. All tanks are manufactured to meet the most stringent requirements for food production
