The PreCooler is used to obtain optimal utilization of the OptimICE® system in variant circumstances. The PreCooler is adjusted and calibrated to suit each customer and his particular requirements. The selection of the correct PreCooler is dependent on the size of the liquid ice system being used and water temperature. The use of a PreCooler allows the customer to optimize the efficiency of the liquid ice system at both different levels of flow and water temperature.

From when the fish is caught, with a temperature of 6°C/43°F in the raw material, it does not take more than 1 hour to cool the fish down to -0.3°C/30.5°F to -0.9°C/30.4°F using OptimICE® cooling — and it stays at this temperature throughout the whole process.

Why Choose this Product

The PreCoolers ensure products stay at a consistent 0°C/30°F, enhancing quality and extending shelf life. Integrated with the OptimICE® system, it optimizes cooling efficiency for perishable goods, ensuring fast and reliable temperature control.

Erik Velsko
Owner
"KAPP's OptimICE® liquid slurry ice system has been a game-changer for our Pacific cod pot fishing operation in Western Alaska. The increased shelf-life, coupled with the improved catch, handling, and chilling methods, has resulted in exceptional Pacific cod products that far exceed the industry standard. We hope our slurry-ice treated Kaia Cod™ becomes the benchmark for excellence in the North Pacific cod fisheries."
Pétur H. Pálsson
Director
“We have used the OptimICE® equipment in our fishing vessels for many years. Our experience has been outstanding. It gives us, without a doubt, better quality, longer shelf life, reduced labor hours, and better price for our products.”
Kristján Vilhelmsson
Managing director - Ships operations
"We have used the OptimICE® Liquid ice systems in our fishing vessels for a long time. Our experience is very good. It gives us better quality, longer shelf life and the labor hours are reduced. We get a higher price for our products".
