How to distinguish a good ice cup?

In recent years, with the diversification of beverage consumption scenarios, ice cream cups have gradually become an indispensable and essential product in fields such as catering, beverage chains, and food delivery services. According to market research, the global ice cup market is expected to exceed 120 billion yuan by 2025, with an annual growth rate of over 15%. However, while the market is rapidly expanding, buyers are facing two major pain points:

• Uneven quality: Some ice cups have loose sealing film and fragile ice cubes due to process defects, which affects the brand's terminal experience;

• Incomplete service chain: Suppliers only provide product delivery, lacking in-depth support such as production line planning and technological iteration.

Therefore, when selecting ice cups, buyers should not only focus on the quality of the product itself, but also evaluate the comprehensive service capabilities of the supplier. As a benchmark enterprise in the industry, CBFI has a deep understanding of market demand and has built a solution system covering the entire chain, providing buyers with full process value from product selection to implementation.

 

Four core indicators: defining a new benchmark for ice cup quality

CBFI has found through thousands of production line cases that the four major standards for high-quality ice cups are not simply technical parameters, but key points that directly affect the end-user experience and procurement costs.

1. Tightness of sealing film: ensuring transportation and storage safety

• Technical analysis:

The sealing process of ice cups directly affects the compressive strength of products during transportation and storage. CBFI adopts dynamic pressure testing to ensure that the sealing film can remain tight even in a temperature difference environment of -10 ℃ to 40 ℃, reducing the risk of ice melting water leakage.

• Value points of the purchaser:

Ice cups with loose sealing film are prone to water accumulation during transportation, which can cause mold on the packaging box or the cup body to slip, increasing the cost of secondary packaging. When purchasing, suppliers should be required to provide third-party testing reports to verify the sealing performance of the sealing film at extreme temperatures.

2. Tearability of cup lid: Smart design that balances convenience and safety

• Technical analysis:

The "easy to tear" of the cup lid sealing film is not necessarily the thinner the better, but requires a precise balance between strength and tactile sensation. CBFI has controlled the tearing force within the range of 0.8-1.2 Newtons through millions of tests, ensuring that consumers can easily open it with one hand while preventing accidental rupture during transportation.

• Value points of the purchaser:

The design of the cup lid directly affects the consumer experience. (If household users need a design that is easier to tear, then the delivery scene needs to consider sealing).

3. Ice cube appearance: the technological innovation behind the crystal clear appearance

• Technical analysis:

Crystal clear ice cubes do not rely solely on water quality, but require a three-layer filtration system (physical filtration+activated carbon adsorption+UV sterilization) and patented mold design to achieve. The transmittance of CBFI ice cubes can reach 98%, and the surface is smooth and free of impurities.

• Value points of the purchaser:

The transparency of ice directly affects the aesthetics of beverages, especially high-end brands are particularly sensitive to "visual marketing". Suppliers can be requested to provide comparative effect pictures of ice cubes under different lighting conditions during procurement, and evaluate their effectiveness in maintaining beverage temperature (such as whether the ice cubes melt evenly).

4. Ice cube solidity: a qualitative leap from "fragile" to "durable"

• Technical analysis:

The solidity of ice cubes is derived from molecular structure control technology. CBFI reduces ice crystal formation by adjusting the freezing speed (controlled at -5 ℃/hour) and mold vibration frequency, increasing the compressive strength of ice cubes to 80kg/m ² and reducing the ice fragmentation rate to 0.3%.

 

3, CBFI's comprehensive service capability: a one-stop solution from product to implementation

When purchasing ice cup suppliers, in addition to the product itself, the following service dimensions should also be considered:

1. Factory planning: customized design tailored to local conditions

CBFI's engineering team can provide a tailored factory layout plan based on the purchaser's production capacity requirements, factory area, and energy conditions. For example:

Energy saving design: By optimizing the layout of the production line, reducing the distance of material transfer, and reducing energy consumption by 15% -20%;

Maximizing space utilization: Design modular production lines for small and medium-sized customers to increase output efficiency per unit area by 30%.

2. Production line design: Balancing flexibility and efficiency

• Flexible production

• Intelligent monitoring

3. Equipment delivery: Shorten the landing cycle and reduce the risk of trial and error

CBFI provides "turnkey project" services:

Localized supply chain: The localization rate of core equipment has reached 80%, and the delivery cycle has been shortened to 45 days;

 

In the current fiercely competitive ice cup industry, buyers need to make comprehensive decisions based on user needs, combined with product technical indicators and supplier service capabilities. With over 20 years of deep experience in the refrigeration industry, CBFI has provided full cycle support from product development to large-scale production to customers in more than 70 countries worldwide.
