Project Overview & Strategic Port Value
Traditional port-based ice making often suffers from manual labor bottlenecks, slow harvest cycles, and soaring electricity costs. This state-of-the-art facility addresses these pain points directly through industrial-grade integration:
150-Ton Continuous Daily Output: Composed of three independent 50-ton brine block ice lines, each powered by three dedicated refrigeration units. This multi-unit configuration offers excellent redundancy-even during partial maintenance, the plant maintains a robust ice supply.
100 kg Commercial Specification: Produces heavy-duty 100 kg ice blocks, which are the gold standard for deep-sea fishing vessels and wholesale market fleets requiring prolonged cooling.
Technical Highlights & Equipment Architecture
| Operational Module | Configuration Detail | Industrial Value & Efficiency |
| Daily Production Capacity | 150 Tons (3 x 50-Ton Lines) | Simultaneously charges multiple deep-sea trawlers; zero waiting times at the dock. |
| Power & Redundancy | 9 Independent Refrigeration Units | Multi-compressor matching allows step-by-step capacity control, saving up to 20% power during off-peak hours. |
| Harvest Automation | Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Ice Pushers | Replaces traditional manual crane hoisting; automatically aligns and discharges molds, cutting labor costs by 60%. |
| Ice Block Specification | 100 kg Brine Ice Blocks | High density, slow-melting, and ideal physical dimensions for stacked marine storage. |
| On-Demand Processing | Heavy-Duty Crushing Station | Instantly converts 100kg blocks into customized crushed ice formats for delicate seafood preservation. |
| Bulk Buffer Storage | 250-Ton Insulated Cold Room | Acts as a strategic buffer warehouse to withstand massive seasonal surges in fish landings. |
Core Value & Technological Innovations
1. Fully Automated Hydraulic Harvesting (Zero-Labor Ice Discharge)
Instead of relying on heavy manual labor to drag, dip, and harvest heavy ice molds, each 50-ton line is equipped with a fully automated hydraulic ice pushing system.
The hydraulic ram smoothly advances the ice mold grids through the brine tank. This continuous workflow promotes high operational safety, minimizes physical wear on the molds, and achieves seamless, high-speed harvesting with minimal human intervention.
2. Slower-Melting Brine Ice: Superior Protection for Premium Seafood
Unlike freshwater ice, saltwater (brine) ice blocks have a slightly lower freezing point, making them colder and denser.
Slower Melting Rate: Brine ice lasts significantly longer inside vessel holds, securing an unbroken cold chain for long-distance deep-sea voyages.
Slightly Softer Crystals: Crushed brine ice has less sharp, rigid edges compared to freshwater ice, preventing physical damage and bruising to fish skin and scales during transport.
3. Highly Eco-Friendly & Energy-Saving Brine Cooling
Power consumption is the largest operational expense in port-based ice production.
Optimized Thermal Exchange: The brine cooling technology utilizes a highly efficient thermodynamic loop, maximizing heat transfer rates and reducing overall electricity consumption.
Green & Sustainable Operations: Lowering energy consumption directly shrinks the carbon footprint of the fishing port, aligning the facility with modern environmental guidelines and ensuring long-term operational profitability.
