Concept
Pumpable ice technology
Summary
Pumpable ice technology (PIT) uses thin liquids, with the cooling capacity of ice. Pumpable ice is typically a slurry of ice crystals or particles ranging from 5 micrometers to 1 cm in diameter and transported in brine, seawater, food liquid, or gas bubbles of air, ozone, or carbon dioxide.
Terminology
Beyond generic terms, such as pumpable, jelly, or slurry ice, there are many trademark names for such coolant, like "Deepchill", “Beluga”, “optim”, “flow”, “fluid”, “jel”, “binary”, “liquid”, “maxim”, “whipped”, and “bubble slurry” ice. These trademarks are authorized by industrial ice maker production companies in Australia, Canada, China,
Germany, Iceland, Israel, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom, and USA.
Technological process
Pumpable ice can be produced in one of two ways: either by mixing crushed ice with a liquid or by freezing water within a liquid.
*The primary way is to manufacture commonly used forms of crystal solid ice, such as plate, tube, shell or
