USSAN · Block ice
Automatic block ice production
The USSAN block ice machine automates water intake, ice production and block release. The USS/KLP-7.5 and USS/KLP-15 models are available for businesses that need ice in block form.
Consider your daily ice demand alongside the point of use and storage arrangements. Compare production figures and connection details for the two models in the table below.
The production process
Water intake
The automatic water intake system supplies the water used for ice production.
Ice formation in moulds
Ice is produced in moulds as individual blocks. Block weight and production quantities are listed in the model table.
Block release
The blocks are released automatically after the production cycle. Include the collection and storage area in your installation plan.
