Supermarkets
Howe Rapid Freeze® ice flakers are used by supermarkets worldwide for food cooling applications such as seafood displays and produce counters.
Howe’s ENERGY STAR® qualified flakers produce the coldest and longest lasting ice resulting in significantly lower labor, energy and water costs.
Quality Ice
Supermarkets need flake ice to attractively display products in meat, produce, seafood and delicatessen departments. Many of the products in these highly visible areas provide stores with their highest profit margins. Attractive food displays using quality ice offer an important opportunity to distinguish themselves from competitors:
- Sparkles more than other ice, products appear fresher; easy to work with, allowing creative displays
- Cushions products against damage and reduces product weight loss to dehydration more effectively than other forms of refrigeration
- Cools products more quickly than other forms of ice because it reaches a temperature of 22°F
- Provides greater surface contact area (17,000 sq. ft./ton) for products, cooling them to a uniform temperature
- Extends the shelf life of products
