Ice Systems Industrial Ice Machines are a great addition to any medium or large bakery.
As an alternative to water, sub-cooled flake ice can be added quickly, easily and when required. Within the bread sector, ice is often used to slow down yeast growth, preventing over-maturing of the mix which ultimately leads to a sticky product. Within pastry applications, using ice can reduce cracking. The flat and thin structure (high surface area) of flake ice offers a quick melt, consistently and evenly releasing its cooling energy rapidly, without leaving residue.

Our engineer says…
“When installing an ice machine within a mince pie factory Isaac discussed with the customer how they would use the ice. They will use it to replace an old chilled water plant for a specific M&S line. They need the mix to be colder than chilled water to avoid cracking in the pastry without altering the recipe. Sub-cooled flake ice is the perfect alternative for achieving the desired results.”
Maintains ideal dough temperatures, preventing premature yeast activation and ensuring consistent fermentation.
Contributes to consistent texture, moisture, and crumb structure in baked goods.
Helps keep doughs and batters hydrated, reducing the risk of drying out during processing.
Flake ice is the best choice for keeping everything cool in the bakeries sector. The ice is dry to the touch, meaning it doesn’t affect the bread and make it damp.
