Berg Shell Ice Maker is the industry standard in industrial ice makers. This commercial ice machine can create 5 to 50 tons of ice at a thickness determined by the client.

Industrial Ice Machine

2. The shell ice maker is one of the products manufactured by
Berg that has extensive applications in the commercial fishing,
food processing, produce, meat and poultry, and construction
industries.

3. The Berg Shell Ice Maker has
become the industrial ice maker
of choice in many areas and ice
making plants.
The shell ice maker works by
making ice on a tubular evaporator
surface and harvesting it by gravity.

4. How it works

5. Water is pumped through the flow
control valve to the distribution
headers from where it is sprayed
onto double walled
stainless steel
evaporator tubes.
The Freeze Cycle

6. As the water cascades down the
inner and outer surfaces of the
evaporator tubes, it gets chilled down
to its freeze temperature.

7. The free water that
does not freeze onto
the tubes falls through
a perforated trough and
recycled through the
process again.

8. After the ice has formed to the
manufacturer's desired thickness, hot
compressor discharge gas is redirected
into the tubes using solenoid valves;
displacing the low temperature liquid
refrigerant.
The Harvest Cycle

9. As the evaporator tubes warm up, a
thin film of water is formed between
the ice and the evaporator tube wall
allowing the ice to fall freely into a
trough below.

10. Free water produced in the harvest cycle
falls through the perforated trough and
returned to the system preventing “wet” ice
from being discharged from the machine.

11. Once the ice falls into the trough, the discharge
auger reduces the ice shells into finely divided,
irregular shaped fragments and also delivers the
ice shells from the machine to the storage bin
below or for immediate use.

12. The ice making cycle will
then automatically
repeat itself.

13. Unlike the majority of other
industrial ice machines available on
the market, all the components on a
standard Berg Shell Ice Maker that
come in contact with ice or water
are all manufactured from stainless
steel or food grade plastic.
Berg Shell Ice Maker is the Industry Standard

14. Berg industrial Shell Ice
Makers are available in
three basic designs
Two air cooled and one
water cooled.

15. The water cooled models
can be equipped with
marine type condensers
suitable for salt water
operation. Standard air
cooled models are
equipped with copper
tube-aluminum fin
condensers.

16. All Berg industrial ice makers are
fully tested under simulated load
conditions at our manufacturing
plant to ensure they are
delivered to the customer
capable of producing the daily
capacity they are rated for.

17. The versatility of being able to choose ice thickness can
be very important for some operators – as can the
choice of using a softer, colder
salt water ice as opposed to
a fresh water ice.

18. Berg Shell Ice Makers provide
different ice forms for all types of
applications. As well, Shell Ice
handles better than all other types
of ice and keeps its superior
handling characteristics
for a longer period
of time.

19. So, whether you require
ice that is thick or thin,
made from fresh or salt
water, a Berg Industrial
Shell Ice Maker can meet
all your requirements by
varying the ice thickness as
your individual needs change.
