The North Star Liquid Ice Advantage

North Star liquid ice generators offer a number of benefits you can’t find in other slurry ice machines.
  • Reliable – North Star delivers a dependable generator that produces seawater liquid ice using proven technology.
     
  • Minimum salinity – Our liquid ice generators make seawater liquid ice with a minimum salinity of 2.5%. This allows North Star to apply seawater directly to the ice generator freezing surface. Other liquid ice makers require 3.5% salinity, requiring a brine make-up tank to be added to the system.

  • Meets all food processing standards – North Star evaporator and water path components are stainless steel – the first and best choice for food processing.

  • Compact – The smallest footprint with the largest ice capacity in the industry.

  • Pumpable ice – North Star liquid ice can be pumped anywhere you need it using small diameter PVC piping.

  • Versatile – Available with a progressive cavity pump or can be mounted above a mixing tank for added ice storage.

  • Flexible – Can be operated with either ammonia or Freon refrigeration systems. Multiple refrigeration units are not required.
     
  • Lifetime warranty – Backed by the best warranty in the business – a lifetime evaporator warranty, plus North Star’s performance guarantee.
