In the field of fishery processing, the supply efficiency of ice directly affects the quality of fish preservation and transportation efficiency. Traditional ice making equipment often faces challenges such as unstable ice supply, high labor costs, and large land occupation, especially during peak ice usage periods, which can lead to ice breakage or delays. In response to this pain point, the CBFI 30 ton tube ice machine and 15 ton ice storage system have emerged. The system relies on three core advantages of automation control, compact layout, and intelligent ice supply to provide a one-stop solution for fishery enterprises from ice making to ice storage. While helping customers save space and manpower, it also achieves rapid freshness locking and efficient circulation of fish catches.
**The Five Core Values of CBFI**
1. Efficient response to centralized ice use, ensuring uninterrupted supply**
The CBFI system is designed specifically for large-scale ice demand scenarios in a short period of time
• Ice making capacity: With a daily output of 30 tons, it can meet the peak ice demand of large fishing boats, processing plants, or distribution centers, avoiding fish spoilage or transportation delays caused by insufficient ice.
• Ice storage guarantee: equipped with a 15 ton ice storage warehouse to ensure sufficient ice reserves, even during ice making gaps or sudden increases in demand, can continue to supply ice.
• Smooth operation: The PLC control system accurately adjusts the ice making rhythm, avoiding energy waste or uneven ice quality caused by frequent start stop of traditional equipment.
2. * * Fully automated to achieve human resource liberation**
The system does not require manual operation from ice making to ice removal, reducing labor costs while improving operational safety:
• Intelligent monitoring: PLC real-time monitors temperature, humidity and other parameters, automatically adjusts ice making rate and ice storage environment.
• Mechanical conveying: The produced ice is efficiently transported to the ice storage warehouse through a screw conveying system, reducing the risk of manual handling in intermediate links.
• Automatic ice laying: The warehouse is equipped with an automated ice scraping device, which can evenly distribute ice particles and avoid accumulation, clumping or waste.
3. * * Compact structure, efficient use of space**
Traditional ice making equipment is often limited by the installation site due to its large size, while CBFI systems only require about 40 square meters of land, making them particularly suitable for fishing processing environments with limited space
• Highly integrated: Adopting a modular design, the ice maker, ice storage, and conveyor system are integrated to maximize space utilization.
• Flexible layout: Customized layout can be made according to the structure of the factory, such as embedding into existing production lines or building new small-scale factories.
4. * * Economical and practical, fast return on investment**
• Save manpower: Automated processes can replace 2-3 workstations, reducing labor costs in the long run.
• Energy consumption optimization: PLC intelligent control ensures that equipment operates within the optimal energy efficiency range, saving 15% -20% energy compared to traditional equipment.
• Extended lifespan: Stable operation reduces mechanical failures and lower maintenance costs.
5. * * Reliable operation, stable guarantee**
• Industrial grade components: The ice maker and PLC control system are made of durable industrial grade materials, suitable for high humidity environments at sea.
• Warning function: Real time monitoring of abnormal situations (such as temperature fluctuations, component wear), advance notification of maintenance, and avoidance of production downtime risks.
**Applicable scenarios: covering the entire process of fishery preservation**
1. * * Offshore fishing fleet**
Requirement: The catch needs to be processed in a timely manner to avoid spoilage caused by prolonged sea transportation.
• Solution:
-The CBFI system supports ice making on board ships, allowing for immediate cooling and preservation of the catch after it is released.
-The miniaturized design adapts to the cabin space and reduces the impact on navigation stability.
2. * * Port processing plant**
Requirement: Large scale fishing and processing require continuous ice supply for sorting, packaging, pre cooling, and other processes.
• Solution:
-The system can seamlessly connect with the production line, and the ice particles can be directly transported to the sorting station or packaging area, saving intermediate transportation time.
-Ice storage facilities can serve as a temporary buffer to cope with fluctuations in order volume.
3. * * Delivery and Cold Chain Logistics**
Requirement: Cold storage ice storage needs to balance rapid replenishment and long-term storage.
• Solution:
-The system supports 24-hour continuous ice supply, combined with cold chain transportation, to ensure the quality of ice used at the end.
-The ice storage capacity design meets the demand for cross regional distribution.
4. * * Small and medium-sized fishery enterprises or cooperatives**
Requirement: The budget is limited, but an efficient solution is still needed.
• Solution:
-Compact design reduces initial investment, while modular structure facilitates subsequent expansion.
-Low energy consumption operation reduces long-term operating expenses.
The CBFI 30 ton tube ice machine and 15 ton ice storage system are not only equipment upgrades, but also key measures for fishery enterprises to move towards intelligent and efficient management. CBFI is committed to becoming a trusted partner in the field of fishery preservation by reducing dependence on manpower through automation, adapting to diverse scenarios through compact design, and ensuring fish quality through stable performance.
