Flake ice
Flake ice is a loose definition of a group of ice types with irregular particle sizes. These types can be roughly grouped into two main types: scale ice and granular ice. This can cause confusion as different manufacturers, industries or even geographical areas will say flake ice and mean different things. Mainly used in the process industries including bakeries, fish and meat packing, and in laboratories. Flake ice makers are used to preserve fish, and to control industrial reactions, such as concrete cooling.
