MODULAR ICE STORAGE SYSTEMS

North Star modular ice storage systems are a versatile way to store and automatically discharge any type of ice – flake, plate, shell or tube. These systems do not require the construction of a refrigerated building and instead can be installed as a free standing unit in an existing refrigerated room. Modular ice storage systems are completely customizable, making them increasingly popular for retrofitting older plants or for the construction of new plants.
