The Advantages of North Star Liquid Ice

All liquid ice is not the same. North Star liquid ice offers a number of advantages over other types of liquid, or slurry, ice: 

Faster Cooling:  North Stare flake ice provides rapid product cooling for highly perishable products. When applied, liquid ice immediately fills all voids in the tote or container, surrounding the product entirely with ice for maximum cooling. Rapid cooling lowers bacteria counts, extends the shelf life, increases the value of the product, and enhances product recovery rates.

The Right Temperature: With many brands of slurry ice, temperatures are so low that they damage delicate products. North Star saltwater liquid ice allows users to achieve the optimal temperature and density for their application by varying the ratio of ice to water. By controlling the temperature, the product can be cooled quickly and still maintain its fresh appearance.

Thorough Draining: The water drains quickly and completely from North Star liquid ice leaving only ice and product. Draining saltwater away quickly almost eliminates the concentration of salt in the ice (to less than 0.5%). This greatly reduces the absorption of salt into the product and keeps the product from freezing – both common problems with other brands of slurry ice.

Soft Texture: The soft texture of North Star liquid ice cushions the product and protects it from damage.

Pumpable:  North Star liquid ice is easily pumpable. This makes it idea for applications with multiple use points and for systems installed in tight quarters.
