An Introduction to Our Technology
From Freezing to Refrigeration –
Entering an Era of Customizing
Ice with Next-generation
Ice-making Technology
High-concentration brine was conventionally considered "antifreeze." HybridICE enables ice-making using brine with a high concentration of 23.5%. With this next-generation ice-making technology, by adjusting the concentration of the raw water used, it becomes possible to produce ice suited to various applications from freezing to refrigeration temperatures.
CONTROL
From Dry and Snow-like to Slurry
– Free Control of Temperature
and Shape
HybridICE enables control of the state of ice, from dry snow-like to highly fluid slurry. With ice rates also freely adjustable, it achieves not just rapid fish cooling but also fine-tuning the temperatures and salt concentrations required by different fish species, demonstrating its power in a variety of scenarios.
Two Features of HybridICE
-
Ultra-low-temperature Ice-making
By changing the components of the liquid used in ice production, it becomes possible to produce HybridICE of even greater ultra-low temperatures.

SCENE
Examples of Use in Various Scenarios
-
Rapid Freezing
Optimal Quality Preservation
through High-speed FreezingHybridICE locks in the fresh state just as it is. This innovative technology opens up new possibilities across a broad range of fields, from the food industry to the medical realm, and even precision-equipment manufacturing. For instance, in fisheries, it's used for on-board freezing of freshly caught seafood and transportation at optimal temperatures for each type of fish. In the medical field, it's used for precise temperature control in the storage and transportation of pharmaceuticals. In precision-equipment manufacturing, it prevents deformation and damage to heat-sensitive parts. The high-speed freezing of HybridICE serves as a key to supporting advanced quality control and contributes to the development of these industries.

Rapid Refrigeration
Revolutionizing the Cold Chain
with HybridICEHybridICE's rapid refrigeration plays a crucial role in the cold chain. By achieving maintained freshness, mixed-load management, and ultra-low-temperature transportation, it enables the proposal of the optimal cold chain for a variety of frozen products according to their destinations and transportation volumes. This innovative cooling solution leads to reduced energy costs and lower power consumption by achieving a cooling process with favorable efficiency. HybridICE builds the foundation for improving quality retention and sustainability in different industries as the new standard for future cold chains.
