Why Does Concrete Need to Be Cooled?
Strict temperature control is crucial during the production and construction of concrete. If the discharge temperature is too high, it accelerates the hydration reaction, leading to premature setting and affecting its strength. On the other hand, if the temperature is too low, the hydration process slows down, prolonging the setting time and similarly weakening the concrete's strength, thereby impacting the quality of the structure and causing a series of quality issues.
By precisely adding low-temperature ice and strictly controlling the discharge temperature according to the specific requirements of different types of concrete, internal temperature rise can be effectively suppressed, preventing cracks caused by thermal stress and enhancing the performance and durability of the concrete. This approach not only meets the demands of construction in high-temperature environments but also complies with engineering specifications and design standards (such as China's Code for Construction of Mass Concrete GB 50496), which stipulate that the pouring temperature for mass concrete should be ≤25°C, and the temperature difference between the interior and exterior should also be ≤25°C.
01 Concrete Cooling Solutions
In modern construction projects, precise temperature control of concrete is critical to ensuring structural quality and construction efficiency. To meet this demand, CBFI(Icesource) has launched an integrated intelligent ice storage and conveying scraper system, specifically designed for concrete cooling.
Equipped with functions including automatic ice storage, leveling, ice discharge, and weighing, the system ensures that ice can be efficiently transported by screw conveyors to the concrete mixing stations. It guarantees uniform ice addition during concrete production, effectively controlling the temperature of the concrete, preventing cracks, and improving both the quality of the concrete and overall construction efficiency.

Why Choose Flake Ice?
1.Thin, Dry, and Non-Clumping:
Lightweight, dry, and loosely textured - it resists clumping, remains ready-to-use at any time, and requires no additional crushing or processing.
2.Rapid Cooling with Thorough Mixing:
With a large contact surface area, flake ice delivers excellent cooling performance. Its temperature can reach below -8°C, providing 2 to 5 times faster cooling than cubed ice, ensuring quick and uniform temperature reduction during mixing.
The CBFI(Icesource) patented spiral ice blade features low load, low resistance, low wear, silent operation, and produces evenly sized ice flakes with minimal powder formation.
The CBFI (Icesource) steel structure rake-type ice storage system is robust, durable, and reusable.
