Automated flake ice storage solution
In industrial food processing, maintaining a consistent and hygienic supply of flake ice is crucial. Manual handling of ice not only slows down production but also poses sanitation risks and labor-intensive challenges, impacting overall workflow efficiency.
Optimize ice management with automated storage
The IXT Silo is an advanced automated flake-ice storage system provided by Marel. This silo integrates seamlessly with MAJA industrial ice makers, ensuring a consistent and fresh supply of flake ice without the need for manual shoveling. Smart sensors and timers manage the refilling process, allowing for continuous production without interruptions. The unique sloping design and auger conveyors at the base ensure complete drainage, preventing old ice accumulation and maintaining high hygiene standards. Available in 1,000 kg and 4,000 kg capacities, the IXT Silo comes with optional features like a digital display for ice levels, built-in scales for precise dispensing, and a pneumatic extraction hose capable of transporting ice up to 42 meters. This system is ideal for various applications, such as sausage production, bread baking, and fish packing, where a consistent, high-quality supply of flake ice boosts operational efficiency and product quality.
