Ice Maker and Ice Freezer covers ice production and ice storage: cube, flake, tube and nugget ice machines, block ice plants, ice storage bins and ice freezers, for beverage service, food display, fish and seafood handling and general cooling.
Sizing is where buyers most often go wrong, because quoted daily production assumes a reasonable ambient temperature and cool incoming water, and a machine in a hot kitchen fed warm supply water will produce noticeably less than its rating, on exactly the day the most ice is needed. Specify with headroom, and size the storage bin against the peak demand period rather than the daily total. Water quality affects both cube clarity and machine life, so a filter is part of the installation.
Ice equipment is procured through tendering by fisheries departments and landing sites, municipal fish and produce markets, hospital, school and institutional catering, hotel and tourism authorities, defence and police catering, health facilities, and fisheries and cold chain projects financed by development banks and agricultural funds. We quote against the specification and provide daily production figures stated against ambient and water temperature, storage bin capacity, water quality requirements, refrigerant declarations, power requirements, make and origin declarations, warranty terms and inspection arrangements.
Send us your daily ice requirement, your ambient conditions, your water supply and the ice type, and we will size the machine and quote it.
