Since its inception in 1950, North Star Ice Equipment has led the world in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art ice making and handling equipment. North Star pioneered the development of technology that has become the standard in the ice industry, including:
The production of flake ice for industrial use. This super-cold ice chills faster and is easier to handle than any other type of ice.
Flake ice makers with stationary, vertical evaporators to eliminate rotating refrigerant seals.
Ice makers that produce ice on the inside of the evaporator, completely surrounded by insulation, preventing its exposure to high ambient temperatures.
The world’s first ice rake for automatic ice delivery.
Advances in the pneumatic conveying of ice vertically and horizontally over long distances.
Today, North Star continues to set the standard for flake ice production and ice handling technology by developing new products that maintain high standards of quality, technology and design. The company combines a commitment to innovation with over 58 years of ice making experience to manufacture a line of ice making and handling equipment our customers can rely on.
