Common ice-making types include cube ice, flake ice, and shaved ice. Cube ice is hard and melts slowly, making it suitable for cooling drinks and widely used in bars, restaurants, and other similar establishments. Flake ice is thinner and irregularly shaped, melting relatively quickly, and is often used for fresh food preservation and chemical cooling. Shaved ice is soft and delicate, making it a favorite in dessert making, frequently used in smoothie shops and dessert shops.
Ice bath machines are mainly classified according to their structural form, heat dissipation method, application scenario, and functional integration.
