🐟 Flake Ice for Newport's Commercial Fishing Industry
Fresh seafood needs effective temperature control from landing and handling through processing and distribution.
Flake ice is particularly useful because the thin flakes spread easily around seafood products and provide a large cooling contact area.
Applications include:
🦀 Flake Ice for Dungeness Crab & Oregon Seafood
Newport is well positioned for Oregon's commercial seafood industry, including Dungeness crab and other Pacific seafood products.
Flake ice machines can support:
For businesses with seasonal peaks, the machine should be selected according to peak ice demand, not simply average annual consumption.
