Automated flake ice storage solution
Streamline your ice management with a solution that eliminates manual handling, enhances hygiene, and ensures a consistent supply of fresh flake ice, optimizing your production workflow.
Automates Ice Storage and Precise Dispensing
The IXT Silo from Marel revolutionizes industrial ice management by automating storage and precision dispensing for various food processing needs. Designed to work seamlessly with MAJA industrial ice makers, it ensures consistent quality and accessibility of flake ice, eliminating manual handling. Ideal for applications in sausages, baking, fish display, and meat processing, it supports continuous and high-speed operations. Offering versions with capacities up to 4,000 kg, it integrates smart sensors and timers for uninterrupted workflow. The silo’s auger conveyors and sloping design prevent ice accumulation, while insulated walls maintain optimal ice condition. Optional accessories like digital displays and pneumatic extraction extend functionality, making it suitable for stringent hygiene standards and efficient resource management.
