No added value surpasses freshness! Silk Ice is changing the common understanding of seafood freshness!
The silk ice proposed by Nikko is a slushy ice with the same salinity as seawater, cooled to sub-zero temperatures using sea ice. It is an excellent ice that can simultaneously achieve "prevention of agitation" and "low-temperature storage," which are essential for maintaining the freshness of fish. The continuous silk ice system "sea ice" can generate silk ice within minutes of startup, allowing for immediate freshness preservation right after catch, enabling fish to be landed at peak freshness. This product received the Prime Minister's Award at the 7th Monozukuri Nippon Grand Award. 【Features】 ○ Ice production starts immediately with a switch-on ○ Compact design suitable for installation on vessels ○ Energy-efficient ○ Allows for landing while maintaining the freshness of freshly caught fish ○ Reduces the labor and effort required for ice loading ○ Cost reduction in fuel and other expenses (vessel-mounted type) ○ Discharges 1 to 1.5 tons in about 10 minutes (land-based type) ○ Supplies from the tank via hose (land-based type) ○ Continuous ice production at raw water temperatures up to 28°C 【Silk Ice Features】 ● Extremely fine particle sea water slushy ice ● Very fast cooling speed ● Maintains sub-zero temperatures for a long time ● Does not damage fish bodies ● Reduces bacterial count ● ATP is preserved ● Can be applied to large catches of fish

basic information
Silk ice made from "sea ice" has ice particles that are finely sized from a few microns to several tens of microns, providing a smooth texture. It envelops the fish completely and cools it quickly. As a result, the fish does not thrash about, preventing blood circulation and lactic acid buildup in its body, which means it does not get harmed. Additionally, silk ice can maintain sub-zero temperatures for an extended period. "Sea ice" employs a "continuous (one-pass)" method. (Traditionally, a "recirculating" method involves a large ice storage tank and ice maker that gradually produces ice.) It can continuously generate ice from cold seawater at 0°C to silk ice with varying ice concentrations, always maintaining stable temperature and concentration. There are two types available: a "ship-mounted type" that can be installed on fishing boats and a "land-based type" (which requires a separate storage tank) for use on land. It contributes to preserving the freshness of various fish species. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
