Just As It Is, Anywhere
From the moment of catch to the point of delivery, we achieve consistent low-temperature management with minimal energy. Rapid freezing allows seafood to be delivered speedily worldwide, fresh and undamaged. That's HybridICE.
ISSUE
Challenges in Preserving
Seafood Freshness
In the fishing industry, maintaining seafood freshness and cooling are major challenges. Currently, cooling with crushed ice made from fresh water is mainstream, but its cooling speed is slow and it can't maintain subzero temperatures. This delay stresses fish, damaging them and promoting lactic acid production that reduces freshness. "Ikejime" (live-fish stunning) is used to prevent this, but it's labor-intensive, requiring the fish to be processed one by one, and unsuitable for mass processing. Loading large amounts of ice onto fishing boats before setting out also affects fuel efficiency.

Rapid Freezing
That Can Solve All Issues
Rapid freezing is gaining attention as a solution to freshness preservation challenges. Rapid freezing involves passing the core temperatures through the maximum ice-crystal formation temperature zone (-1°C to -5°C) within 30 minuteswhen freezing food. This temperature range tends to form large ice crystals that can damage food cells, so the key to preserving seafood freshness is how quickly to freeze without damaging the food.
POINT
Both Freezing and Refrigeration
HybridICE in All Processes
HybridICE produces ice for a variety of applications, from freezing to refrigeration-temperature ranges, by adjusting the concentration of water used in ice making. From rapid freezing to rapid refrigeration, HybridICE can handle all cooling-related processes.

A New Stage for the Cold ChainThe rapid refrigeration of HybridICE enables achieving a cold chain for a wide range of products, from fresh foods to frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, and electronic materials. It can be filled in quantities to match various capacities and uses, from zipper-size to container-size, making possible transportation in the -1°C to -126°C temperature range. Maintaining product freshness and quality while reducing energy costs -- this is the next-generation cold chain making use of HybridICE.

Selectable High Performance
We offer ice makers to meet a wide variety of needs, from small machines that can be used anywhere, such as in kitchens or at workplaces, to medium-dimension elevator-sized machines, to new large machines specialized for mass cooling. These significantly enhance business efficiency by quickly providing the required amount of ice.
-
Ice Shape According
to Required TemperatureOur original technology enables the production of flake-type HybridICE. It also features a function to stir ice slurry according to the required temperature. This allows for a wide range of applications, from delicate food cooling requiring accurate temperature control to industrial uses needing rapid temperature reduction.

Mass-batch Cooling Achieving Enhanced Quality and Greater Efficiency
Depending on the model size, the machine is equipped with an ice-storage box ranging from 22 liters to up to 9,000 liters. What's more, large models are also capable of instant cooling using an automatic-circulation "flowing freezing tank." This keeps the cooling capacity at an unchanging level even with continuous input of large quantities of materials, while maintaining the quality of each ingredient.
PRODUCTS DETAIL
With the addition of options, all products can produce -126°C
ultra-low-temperature HybridICE.

Temperatures Maintained Through
Automatic Circulation.
The Fastest Cooling with
Minimum Personnel.
This model produces about 10 tons of slurry-type HybridICE per day and automatically supplies it to the "flowing freezing tank." The highly fluid HybridICE constantly circulates at optimal temperature, not only enabling instant cooling of each ingredient but also maintaining cooling capacity even with continuous input of large quantities of materials. It makes possible large-quantity cooling in the shortest time, achieving both improved quality and labor savings.

A New Partner in Protecting Quality.
This is a small water-tight machine that can produce highly fluid slurry-type HybridICE without taking up space in kitchens or workplaces. Fine-grained ice and cold water penetrate without causing damage to complex and minute spaces such as the fish's gills and internal organs, cooling the material quickly without compromising quality. The 25-cm deep ice-storage tank has a large capacity of 22 liters. The opening is at waist height, for a design that also improves work efficiency.
