The packaged ice industry uses two maintypes of refrigerants, Freon and Ammonia for ice manufacturing equipment.

The difference between liquid overfeed and flooded ice production systems comes down to the method for managing flow of liquid refrigerant into an ice maker and how the system is designed to prevent liquid refrigerant from getting back to the compressor.

Screw compressors and reciprocating compressors are the two types of refrigeration compressors for ice manufacturing.

Modern Ice offers ice makers which can produce dry or wet ice and equipment to condition wet ice into a dry product.
