The Four Year Upgrade Path of Indonesian Ice Processing Plant
In 2021, a fisheries supplier in Indonesia introduced the first CBFI 3-ton tube ice machine and subsequently upgraded it to the latest 4th generation 30 ton model year by year. The customer stated, "From 3 tons to 30 tons, each generation of products has significantly improved in refrigeration efficiency, ice particle forming stability, and maintenance convenience. Especially with the fourth generation model paired with a horizontal automatic packaging system, the daily ice making capacity has increased by 40% and labor costs have been reduced by 60%
Key points:
· Continuous upgrade capability: The experience of iterating 4th generation products covers 70+countries worldwide, and the long-term cooperation value is verified by the Indonesian case.
· Industry adaptability: The ice tube is sturdy and resistant to melting, especially suitable for long-distance fishing transportation, cold storage pre cooling, and bulk ice use in food processing plants.
· Full chain efficiency: The combination of ice tube machine and automatic packaging machine seamlessly connects from production to storage, reducing ice particle loss (traditional manual packaging loss is about 15% -20%).

Technological breakthroughs and process details
Highlights of the fourth generation upgrade:
• Intelligent temperature control algorithm: dynamically adjust the surface temperature of the evaporator through sensors, with an ice layer uniformity error of less than 2%;
• Low vibration structural design: combination of seismic isolation chassis and shock absorber bracket, with a total machine noise of ≤ 65dB (10-15 decibels lower than industry standards);
• Environmental certification: using environmentally friendly refrigerants that comply with the Indonesian government's 2025 policy requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How to estimate the actual production capacity of the ice pipe machine?
• It is necessary to comprehensively consider the local water quality hardness, power grid stability, and operator training. CBFI provides on-site survey and capacity simulation reports.
Q2: Is it necessary to purchase an automatic packaging system?
• Suggested combination: Manual packaging can only handle 8 tons/day per shift, while automatic packaging machines can achieve 24-hour unmanned operation, increasing efficiency by three times.
Q3: What should we do if the electricity in remote areas of Indonesia is unstable?
• Optional voltage regulator and power-off protection module, capable of maintaining operation even with voltage fluctuations of ± 15%.
Q4: Which regions are supported by after-sales service?
• Indonesia establishes a 24-hour technical response team with a spare parts inventory cycle of ≤ 3 days.
