The block ice machine is a piece of specialized ice making equipment used to produce large sized ice blocks for ice sculpturing, ocean fishing, food preservation and goods storage/shipping because ice blocks have a relatively smaller specific surface area and lower melting rate.

Feature
1. Our block ice maker allows simple operation due to the implementation of low temperature brine water and intelligent PLC controller, and this PLC controller helps users to control ice making process in an exceptionally convenient way.

2. The evaporative coil (Ti pipe) boasts superior heat transfer effect, and it is made from anti-corrosion materials to ensure its long life. In addition, galvanized sheet is optional.

3. For this block ice machine, its ice thawing tank and ice dumping unit are scientifically designed to simplify operation. In particular, the thawing tank is heated by hot gas discharged by the compressor, thus making it more energy-saving and suitable for areas with low water temperature.

4. Thanks to the modular design, it is very easy to ship, move and install our ice block machine, while bespoke design is also acceptable in order to better satisfy customer requirements.

5. Containerized block ice machine is available: max. ice output of 6t/24h for 20' type and 12t/24h for 40' type.

6. Our block ice machine is extremely durable, and little maintenance is required.

Workflow
Water is filled into ice moulds by the water feeder automatically, and then ice moulds are placed in the brine tank where the brine is stirred and circulated by the agitator. With the help of refrigeration system, the brine is cooled, thus freezing water inside ice moulds. After that, a crane is used to lift and move ice moulds to the ice thawing tank for melting, then ice blocks are dumped from ice moulds and stored.
