KTI - Model SIP -Ice Slurry Generator
KTI slurry generators are used when fish or other foodstuffs need to be cooled very quickly. Also in process cooling, as ice slurry can be pumped through a network of pipes. KTI ice slurry systems convert salt water or a brine solution into ice slurry by passing solid ice crystals in supercooled liquid. Thus, the ice slurry is typically a mixture of ice crystals within a liquid phase such as brine, salt water or even other food liquids. The temperature of the ice slurry is about -3 °C.
KTI ice slurry generators are equipped with a heat exchanger which contains a rotating scraper inside and constantly removes the water freezing at the edge. The speed of the scraper thereby determines the ice particle sizewhile the flow rate of the brine or saline water is the ice-water ratio is predefined. This allows the mass fraction of solid ice particles to be adjusted. The fewer ice particles the ice slurry contains, the easier it is to pump, but it also contains less "cooling energy". Another way to produce ice slurry is to, water and solid ice in a special tank with agitator to mix. This method is ideally used if a KTI flake ice plant or KTI plate ice machine is already available.
- KTI ice slurry generators produce ice slurry very energy-efficient.
- KTI ice slurry generators produce ice slurry with temperatures from -3 °C.
- KTI ice slurry generators offer the highest cooling rate and fastest temperature drop.
- KTI ice slurry generators are also extremely compact for large outputs.
- KTI ice slurry generators are an ideal addition to your existing ice plant.
