Stainless steel flake ice machines, whose ice making evaporator's freezing surface (in contact with water) is made of stainless steel (SS316L or SS304), are characterized by high corrosion and rust resistance properties. This feature makes ICESTA ice machines the perfect companion for the food processing industry, where high levels of hygiene are required, and for deep-sea fishing vessels, where only seawater can be used for ice production, etc.
