Optimising Ice Makers with HydroFLOW®

Ice makers are essential in the food, hospitality, and healthcare industries, providing clean, high-quality ice for consumption and cooling applications. They can suffer from issues due to scale and biofouling. Limescale forms on freezing surfaces, reducing ice clarity. Biofilm and bacteria contaminate internal components, affecting hygiene and taste. Scale buildup increases maintenance needs and shortens equipment life.

HydroFLOW® provides a chemical-free solution to protect ice makers from scale and fouling. By keeping internal components clean and improving water quality, HydroFLOW® helps maintain consistent ice production, reduces downtime, and extends the lifespan of ice-making equipment.
