Ice Machines for Fishing
Thin, dry flake ice wraps fish without crushing it and keeps it fresh on the counter, in crates and in transit. EFE Ice Systems makes flake ice machines in Izmir for fish markets, fishing boats and seafood plants, producing 300 kg to 10 tons of ice a day.
Why ice?
Why is fish kept on ice?
Fish loses its freshness quickly if it is not cooled as soon as it is caught or harvested. Ice is the most practical way to keep fish cold until it reaches the counter, the crate or the customer.
Flake ice is thin and dry; it does not clump, covers every part of the fish and does not crush it. For long journeys, slow-melting block ice is also used.

Frequently asked questions
Questions from the fishing industry
Which ice machine is best for fish?
Flake ice machines are the most common choice in fishing. Thin, dry flake ice wraps fish without crushing it and cools it quickly. Slow-melting block ice can also be used for long shipments.
Can a flake ice machine be installed on a boat?
Yes. We installed a flake ice machine with a 500 kg daily capacity and its own bin on a fishing boat in Dikili, Izmir; the ice made at sea cools the catch immediately.
How do I store the ice?
On models with a bin, the ice collects in the bin under the machine. We can also install the machine on top of a cold room, so the ice falls straight into the cold room and is stored without melting.
