Slurry Ice Machine Field Test: How Fast Can 16kg of Live Fish Be Wrapped And Chilled at 32°C? | ICESTA 10-Ton Containerized Slurry Ice Machine Experiment

Slurry Ice Machine Field Test: How Fast Can 16kg of Live Fish Be Wrapped and Chilled at 32°C?

Introduction:

In fisheries and seafood processing, cooling speed and coverage directly affect freshness, loss rate, and shelf life. Slurry ice is increasingly popular because it can fully wrap seafood and cool it rapidly. But how good is its cooling power in real conditions? ICESTA ran a real-person field test in Shenzhen.

Test Conditions: 32°C Ambient Temperature, 16kg Live Fish + 32kg Slurry Ice

Location: Shenzhen, China

Ambient temperature: 32°C

Test subject: 16kg live fish

Slurry ice used: 32kg

Slurry ice temperature: -1.3°C

Note: With higher brine concentration, ICESTA slurry ice can reach as low as approximately -4°C

Equipment: ICESTA containerized 10-ton slurry ice machine

Test Results: 2-Minute and 2-Hour Performance

Time Point	Observation
2 minutes	Fish fully covered by slurry ice and quickly firmed up
2 hours	Slurry ice still maintained high concentration, good fluidity, and wrapping ability
Cooling performance	Even cooling with reduced cold spots
Freshness performance	Reduced moisture loss, helping to lock in freshness

Why Are Slurry Ice Machines Suitable for Fisheries and Seafood Processing?

Strong wrapping ability: enters seafood crevices for more complete coverage

Even cooling: reduces local overcooling or cold spots

Less moisture loss: helps maintain appearance and freshness

Good fluidity: suitable for continuous operations and storage scenarios

Containerized design: suitable for deployment at fishing grounds, processing plants, and cold chain sites
