™

Howe'sversatile Rapid Freeze
Flake Ice Machinesset the
standard for energy efficiency,
water conservation andlonger,
trouble-free operating life.
Our reliable ice flakers are
engineered to deliver exceptional
ice quality that keeps food cooler
and fresher, longer, atreduced
operating expense.

From food processing and
distribution, to supermarket and
retail applications, Howe has an
energy-efficient Rapid Freeze
solution to meet your needs.

PROVEN ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Innovative engineering, rugged
construction deliver exceptional
heat transfer. Requires
significantly less energy per pound.
Substantially lower operating/
maintenance requirements.
Optimized water usage.

EXCEPTIONAL ICE QUALITY

True, 100% dry, sub-cooled flake
ice contains 4x more surface area
for significantly better cooling – up
to 20% longer. Drier ice draws heat
away quickly and evenly. Process
uses less energy with virtually zero
water loss.

LONGER, TROUBLE-FREE
OPERATING LIFE

Innovative evaporator design
utilizes gravity for 50% lighter
bearing load.Operates, trouble­free,3x - 4x longer than
competitive machines. Fewer
maintenance/service issues.
