Vietnam Seafood Processing: 8-Ton Flake Ice for Shrimp Export

Vietnam Seafood Processing: 8-Ton Flake Ice for Shrimp Export

Project Overview

A seafood export company in the Mekong Delta needed high-quality flake ice for rapid cooling of freshly harvested shrimp before processing and export. Flake ice's high surface area enables the fastest cooling rate among all ice types.

Solution

DAXTRO supplied an 8-ton/day flake ice machine with automated ice delivery directly to the processing line. Food-grade 304 stainless steel on all ice-contact surfaces meets HACCP and EU export requirements.

Key Specifications

• Model: DAXTRO FBI-8T flake ice machine
• Capacity: 8 tons per day
• Ice Thickness: 1.5-2.2mm adjustable
• Material: SUS304 stainless steel (ice-contact parts)
• Compressor: Bitzer semi-hermetic
• Refrigerant: R404a

Results

• Shrimp cooled from 30 degree Celsius to 2 degree Celsius in under 15 minutes
• EU export certification achieved with HACCP-compliant ice production
• 30 percent reduction in product spoilage during processing
• Flake ice quality rated "excellent" by EU importers
