The Laboratory Ice Flakers category supports laboratories that need to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
Temperature uniformity, recovery and control stability influence reaction rates, storage integrity and the reproducibility of many laboratory methods. A well-matched setup balances working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, chamber or bath volume, and uniformity and stability, helping the laboratory avoid unnecessary rework, difficult cleaning or premature replacement.
A complete temperature-control setup matches the load and vessel to the working range, heating or cooling capacity, circulation, monitoring and safety requirements. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, materials and industrial laboratories. As part of the Laboratory Heating and Cooling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Ice Flakers range
Our collection covers benefits of a flake ice maker over a cube ice machine, applications for the bürkle snowpack, choosing the right size welbilt storage tank, and the hibu ice machines made of corrosion-resistant materials, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Benefits of a flake ice maker over a cube ice machine
Flake ice, produced by HIBU machines, has a larger surface area than cubes, allowing for much faster heat transfer and better contact with sample tubes or vessels for rapid cooling. When comparing options, consider working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Applications for the Bürkle Snowpack
The Bürkle Snowpack is a specialised tool that connects to a CO2 cylinder to produce small 50g dry ice pellets quickly, which is ideal for applications requiring temperatures as low as -79°C. The most suitable format depends on heating or cooling capacity, chamber or bath volume, and uniformity and stability. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. This is especially valuable when teams need to hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Choosing the right size Welbilt storage tank
You should calculate your daily peak ice usage; Welbilt offers tanks from 95 kg to 322 kg to ensure your laboratory always has a sufficient buffer of ice during high-demand periods. The most suitable format depends on chamber or bath volume, uniformity and stability, and pump flow or air circulation. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. In practice, this supports efforts to hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
The HIBU ice machines made of corrosion-resistant materials
HIBU flake ice makers and self-contained units are constructed with stainless steel exteriors and high-durability internal components to withstand the humid conditions of ice production. For routine and specialised work, assess uniformity and stability, pump flow or air circulation, and controller and logging options. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories hold samples and processes within the conditions required for repeatable work and dependable storage. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
