CBFI Successfully Wraps Up Livestock & Aquaculture Philippines 2026
From June 24 to June 26, 2026, CBFI (Guangzhou Icesource Co., Ltd.) successfully participated in Livestock & Aquaculture Philippines 2026, one of the country's leading exhibitions for livestock, aquaculture, food processing, and cold chain industries.
Held at the World Trade Center Manila, the exhibition brought together food manufacturers, seafood processors, poultry producers, distributors, and cold chain professionals seeking efficient refrigeration solutions for tropical operating conditions.
At Booth E-20, CBFI presented a complete portfolio of industrial refrigeration equipment, including the Integrated Quick Freezer, Tube Ice Machines, Block Ice Machines, Flake Ice Machines, IQF Freezers, and customized cold storage engineering solutions.
As temperatures continue to rise across Southeast Asia and electricity prices remain high, visitors were particularly interested in equipment that combines high production efficiency, energy savings, and reliable operation under high ambient temperatures.
Rising Temperatures and Energy Costs Are Reshaping the Philippine Cold Chain Industry
The Philippines faces unique challenges for food processing and cold chain operations.
Year-round tropical temperatures, high humidity, and increasing electricity costs place tremendous pressure on seafood processors, poultry factories, meat manufacturers, edible ice plants, and cold storage operators.
Businesses today are looking beyond simple refrigeration equipment. They need complete solutions that can:
Reduce electricity consumption
Improve freezing efficiency
Maintain stable production during extreme heat
Lower maintenance costs
Preserve food quality for domestic and export markets
CBFI addresses these challenges with integrated refrigeration systems specifically engineered for tropical environments.
Global Debut of the CBFI Integrated Quick Freezer
One of the biggest highlights of the exhibition was the official offline launch of the CBFI Integrated Quick Freezer.
Developed through more than 22 years of refrigeration engineering experience, this new generation freezing system is designed specifically for small and medium-sized food manufacturers seeking professional freezing performance without the high investment of traditional freezing rooms.
Unlike conventional blast freezers, the Integrated Quick Freezer combines refrigeration, intelligent controls, and freezing technology into one compact, factory-assembled unit.
Faster Freezing, Better Product Quality
The Integrated Quick Freezer features a -35°C high-efficiency refrigeration system combined with CBFI's reciprocating freezing technology.
This allows food products to pass rapidly through the critical ice crystal formation zone, preserving:
Natural texture
Original color
Moisture content
Nutritional value
Product appearance
Compared with conventional cold storage freezing, the system significantly improves freezing efficiency while reducing thawing loss and increasing finished product yield.
For seafood, poultry, meat, and prepared food manufacturers, this means higher product quality and greater commercial value.
Compact Design with Flexible Installation
Designed with an integrated monoblock structure, the equipment requires no separate machine room or complicated civil construction.
Key advantages include:
Only 24 m² installation footprint
More than 40% space saving
Factory pre-assembled and tested
Production ready in approximately three days
Relocatable as one complete unit
Purchase or rental options available
The compact design makes advanced freezing technology accessible to growing food manufacturers while supporting seasonal production expansion.
Intelligent Operation and Lower Maintenance Costs
The Integrated Quick Freezer is equipped with a PLC intelligent control system featuring a touchscreen interface for fully automated operation.
Additional features include:
One-touch operation
Automatic defrosting
Easy cleaning structure
Optional IoT remote monitoring
Remote fault diagnosis
The system minimizes labor requirements while reducing maintenance costs and supporting continuous production under demanding operating conditions.
Proven Success Across the Philippine Market
Beyond new product launches, CBFI also showcased several successful local reference projects that demonstrate the reliability of its refrigeration technologies.
30-Ton Tube Ice System for Concrete Cooling
CBFI supplied a complete 30-ton tube ice production system with an automatic ice conveying solution for a large construction project.
Designed specifically for concrete cooling applications, the system provides stable ice production under tropical temperatures while helping contractors control concrete curing temperatures and improve construction quality.
Key benefits include:
Stable full-capacity operation under extreme heat
Compact integrated structure
Fast installation
Energy-efficient refrigeration design
Excellent resistance to voltage fluctuations
Intelligent Edible Ice Plant
Another successful Philippine project features a 20-ton integrated Tube Ice Machine serving the growing edible ice market.
The intelligent PLC control system supports fully automated production with minimal operator intervention.
Project highlights include:
Continuous 24-hour ice production
Modular production expansion
Reduced power consumption
Intelligent remote monitoring
Stable edible ice quality
The solution helps local ice producers increase productivity while lowering long-term operating costs.
120-Ton Ammonia Block Ice Plant for Fisheries
CBFI also presented one of its largest fishery projects in the Philippines-a 120-ton ammonia block ice plant serving offshore fishing operations.
Producing high-density 150 kg block ice, the system provides long-lasting cooling performance for seafood preservation during transportation and storage.
Advantages include:
Natural ammonia refrigerant for superior energy efficiency
Lower refrigeration operating costs
Continuous 120-ton daily production
Reliable operation under tropical conditions
Long melting time for extended cold retention
This project has become a benchmark solution for industrial fisheries in the Philippines.
Complete Refrigeration Solutions for the Philippine Food Industry
Throughout the exhibition, visitors explored CBFI's comprehensive refrigeration portfolio, including:
Integrated Quick Freezers
IQF Freezers
Spiral Freezers
Fluidized Bed Freezers
Tube Ice Machines
Flake Ice Machines
Block Ice Machines
Cold Storage Engineering
Automatic Ice Storage & Conveying Systems
These solutions support a wide range of industries, including:
Seafood processing
Poultry processing
Meat processing
Ice manufacturing
Food processing
Construction cooling
Cold chain logistics
