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.

Benefits

  • Streamlines operations by automatically refilling flake ice, reducing labor costs.
  • Enhances product quality with precise weighing and dispensing, minimizing waste.
  • Provides continuous ice flow, minimizing production delays.
  • Maintains high hygiene standards with fully emptying design to prevent ice accumulation.
  • Flexible installation options with pneumatic extraction, ideal for diverse layouts.
