Ice cups are becoming the second growth curve for ice cream companies. The CBFI fully automatic edible ice cup production line, with the advantage of "three effects in one", provides factory owners with a solution to quickly enter the new track.
Guaranteed profit model: Reuse existing resources and seize the market without starting from scratch
1. Seamless connection of existing channels
Ice cream factories usually have a cold chain logistics system covering supermarkets, convenience stores, and catering channels, and the transportation and storage conditions of ice cream cups are highly compatible with ice cream. The low temperature resistance of the ice cups produced by CBFI ice cup machine (stable storage from -18 ℃ to 0 ℃) can directly utilize the existing cold chain network, reducing the development cost of new channels by about 40%.
2. Rapid switching capability of production line
The CBFI production line adopts modular design, and the ice cream factory can deploy the ice cup production line in just 3 days:
• Material compatibility: Supports ice making with drinking water, natural fruit juice, and plant-based ingredients, and shares a water treatment system with ice cream production lines
• Flexible production capacity: The daily average production capacity of a single machine is 6000-12000 cups (adjustable) to meet seasonal demand fluctuations
• Space optimization: The footprint is reduced by 35% compared to traditional equipment, making it suitable for the renovation of existing factories
For example, a certain ice cream factory in the central region increased its monthly revenue by over 800000 yuan by producing ice cups through idle production capacity at night, with an equipment return cycle of only 8 months.
3. Retail scenarios with profit accumulation
Ice cups can be independently used as retail products to expand consumer scenarios:
• Ready to drink scenario: Ice cups and beverage combinations displayed in convenience store freezers, with a unit price 60% higher than individual ice cream
• Social scene: DIY ice cup set (with included syrup pack) has become a hot topic at gatherings, with a repurchase rate of 32%
Enterprise procurement: Customized logo ice cups for event sponsorship, with a gross profit margin of up to 65%

Health Revolution: Zero sugar, zero calorie ice cups open up incremental market
1. Product restructuring under dietary trends
According to the 2025 White Paper on Healthy Consumption, the market growth rate of sugary ice cream has dropped to 5%, while the annual growth rate of health products has reached 28%. CBFI ice cups meet new demands with three major technological breakthroughs:
Molecular locking layer: By using ultra-low temperature crystallization technology (-25 ℃ rapid freezing), a shelf life layer without additives is formed, extending the shelf life by 30%
• Precise sugar control system: capable of adjusting the sugar content by 0.1g/ml, producing extremely low calorie ice cups with a sugar content of only 0.3g/100g
• Natural ingredient compatibility: Supports plant-based ingredients such as coconut milk and oat milk, meeting the consumption preferences of Generation Z
2. Visualization of nutrition and health
The intelligent formula system of CBFI production line can generate "nutrition labels":
Real time display of calorie content (e.g. 160kcal) and carbohydrate content (e.g. 12g) for each cup
Highlight labels such as "0 trans fat" and "no preservatives"
Customization of segmented categories such as vitamin C fortified version, dietary fiber added version, etc
3. Extension of medical scenarios
Compared with traditional ice packs, CBFI ice cups have a hollow structure design that extends the cooling time to 4-6 hours. They have been adopted by multiple health management agencies as:
• Preservation carrier for nutritious meal delivery
• Low temperature beverage solutions for diabetes patients
• Children's sugar controlled snack substitutes
The technical core of CBFI ice cup production line
1. Fully automatic intelligent control
AI formula management: connected to cloud databases, real-time optimization of formulas to adapt to fluctuations in raw material market prices
Energy consumption monitoring system: remote operation and maintenance achieved through 5G Internet of Things, with a fault warning accuracy rate of 93%
Flexible production module: switchable ice cup diameter (3-8cm), thickness (0.5-3mm) and other parameters
2. Economic benefit model of production line
• Cost structure optimization: Water, electricity, and gas consumption has decreased by 22% compared to traditional production lines
• Reduced labor costs: One operator can manage three production lines, saving 60% of labor costs
• Packaging adaptability: supports automatic labeling and QR code traceability system to reduce packaging loss
As consumers' demands for health, experience, and efficiency continue to rise, the CBFI ice cup production line is building a three in one competitive barrier for ice cream companies, consisting of "technology+market+scenario". It is not only an extension of the product line, but also a springboard for the transformation from a traditional cold drink manufacturer to a health solution service provider.
