In Bangka Island, Indonesia, a tropical island with abundant fishery resources but high temperature and humidity, and a strong demand for ice cubes, a modern ice factory will officially start operation in October 2023.
The core equipment of the ice factory is two CBFI 15 ton direct cooling ice block machines, which have been operating stably for more than 15000 hours since their commissioning. The daily ice production is stable at over 30 tons, fully meeting the ice demand of local fishing, seafood processing, cold chain logistics, and catering markets.
Faced with the harsh environment of high temperature and humidity and the year-round production rhythm, CBFI relies on its fast response global after-sales service system to provide remote technical support and localized spare parts supply, ensuring that customers can achieve uninterrupted, efficient, and zero downtime production throughout the year, becoming an important support for the local cold chain infrastructure.
Customer pain points
·Traditional ice making equipment has a high failure rate and is difficult to adapt to long-term operation in tropical climates;
·Artificial de icing has low efficiency and high labor intensity, which affects the rhythm of ice removal;
·Traditional equipment has high energy consumption, large footprint, and limited factory space;
CBFI Solution
In response to the above challenges, CBFI has customized two complete sets of 15 ton/day direct cooling ice block machines, integrating efficient refrigeration, intelligent control, and automated ice removal functions, to create a safe, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly one-stop ice making solution.
Advantages of the Plan
1. Compact structure, saving space
The direct cooling design eliminates the intermediate heat exchange process, has high system integration, and occupies more than 30% less space than traditional saltwater ice making systems, making it particularly suitable for island factories with limited space. Fully automatic operation, easy to operate
One click start, the entire process automatically completes water injection, cooling, freezing, hot fluorine de icing, and pushing ice out of the warehouse, without the need for manual intervention, greatly reducing operational barriers and labor costs. Efficient and energy-saving, with low operating costs
·Adopting a single operating condition refrigeration system, the system is simple, stable in operation, and has low maintenance costs;
·Only one water pump is needed to complete the circulation and de icing assistance, significantly reducing energy consumption;
·Short de icing time (single de icing only takes 8-12 minutes), improving daily production capacity.
2. High heat exchange efficiency and fast ice making speed
The evaporator adopts a patented serrated flow channel design, significantly increasing the heat transfer area, improving heat transfer efficiency, shortening the ice making cycle, and ensuring efficient ice production even in high temperature environments.
3. Automated ice removal to improve efficiency
Integrated hydraulic ice pushing device, automatically pushes the entire ice block out of the mold after de icing, and directly transports it to the ice crusher or ice storage warehouse, achieving seamless connection from "ice to use" and improving ice removal efficiency by more than 50%.
Equipment Configuration
Single equipment capacity: 15 tons/24 hours
Ice cube specification: 50kg per piece
Ice film size: 440 * 155 * 850mm
Control system: PLC fully automatic control, touch screen operation, supports remote monitoring
Ice pushing device: significantly improves ice removal efficiency and greatly reduces manual operation.
