Why Choose the Automatic Ice Block Machine?

In most countries, ice block machines play an important role in many industries, especially in the tropics, because block ice has one big advantage over other forms of ice.  If the ice is in bulk, it is better for storage, handling, and transportation.  Simplifying the ice-making process (storage, handling and transportation) is often essential in small-scale fisheries and in relatively remote areas.  Moreover, under the same conditions, the storage life of block ice is the longest.  

Shown as follows, ice blocks come in a variety of sizes and are used in fisheries, fruit and vegetable farms, mines, chemical plants and more. But blocks of ice require different specifications, depending on their function.

What is the Automatic Ice Block Machine?

So the ice block should be obtained by a professional ice block machine, and an automatic ice block machine is better.

An automatic direct cooling ice block machine is a new technology compared with the traditional brine cooling machine. The advantage of this ice block machine is that it does not need brine as the heat conduction medium, and the refrigerant evaporates directly in the aluminum alloy ice mold. Freezing time is fast and can save up to 30% energy. In addition, the ice is hygienic and even suitable for human consumption. The use of hot freon gas is now a more efficient method, the lifting system can discharge the whole batch of ice at one time, do not need too much labor cost, occupy small space.

Direct Cooling Ice Block Machine has Some Advantages as Follows：

1. Integral design, moveable, easy installation
2. Full automatic PLC & touch screen control, easy operation
3. No need for brine water as the cooling medium, ice is more sanitary
4. Adopts direct cooling technology, compared with brine cooling machine is 30% energy saving
5. No need for ice thawing tank, ice dumping device, and water feeder…else, space-saving
6. Harvesting whole batch of ice in one time, ice trucking system and ice dragging system available, considerable time saving
7. The perfect combination of high-quality components and exquisite production craft, low failure rate, long service life

ICENICE direct cooling ice block machine can be integral design or split design. For machine capacity lower than 20 tons, we suggest foreign customers take integral design, while for a machine more than 20 tons, we will send refrigeration unit and ice evaporator separately to customer's local, then finalize assembling on site.
