BAOCHARM Ships 5 Units of 5-Ton Flake Ice Machines to Indonesia After Successful Remote Testing – Repeat Order from Fishing Client

July 17, 2026 – Qingdao, China – On July 15, the final shockproof wooden crate was loaded into a container at Qingdao Port, marking the dispatch of five BAOCHARM BCFB-5T flake ice machines bound for Surabaya, Indonesia. With a combined daily ice production capacity of 25 tons, these units had passed a rigorous remote factory inspection on July 12. This repeat order from a long-term Indonesian fishing partner once again underscores the reliability of BAOCHARM flake ice machines in demanding tropical marine environments.

Repeat Business Built on Trust

The buyer, a well-established Indonesian fishing company and a returning BAOCHARM customer, decided to expand its fleet’s ice supply based on the consistently stable performance of previous BAOCHARM equipment. The decision to reorder the same BCFB-5T model reflects deep confidence in both product durability and service support.

Remote Inspection: Data That Speaks for Itself

Due to geographical distance, the July 12 factory acceptance test was conducted via live video streaming. With BAOCHARM’s QC, after-sales, and foreign trade teams present on-site, all five BCFB-5T units were started and ran continuously at full load for two hours. During the live video inspection, clear and uniformly thick flake ice was discharged continuously. Recorded data showed that each machine achieved a daily ice output of 5.2 tons, exceeding the 5-ton rated capacity. Each BCFB-5T unit is equipped with a high-efficiency Bitzer compressor and a SUS304 stainless steel evaporator, delivering rapid freezing and long-term corrosion resistance in marine environments. The client offered a straightforward comment: “Test results exceeded our expectations.”

Fortified Packing for a 12-Day Ocean Voyage

Following the successful inspection, the machines entered meticulous packing and shipping preparation. To withstand the roughly 12-day sea journey and tropical maritime climate, each machine was secured in a four-layer shockproof wooden crate, with internal moisture-proof barriers, anti-corrosion treatments, and multi-point fixation. On July 15, the five crates were loaded into two 40-foot high-cube containers at Qingdao Port and set sail for Surabaya, Indonesia. BAOCHARM’s logistics team supervised the entire container loading process, and full transport insurance was procured to guarantee a worry-free delivery.

Indonesia: A Maturing Fishing Ice Solution Market

BAOCHARM has now served over 15 clients across Indonesia’s fishery and food processing sectors. To date, over 50 BAOCHARM flake ice machines are operating in Indonesian waters, producing a combined 200+ tons of flake ice daily for fishing fleets. This batch delivery of five heavy-duty flake ice machines further confirms that BAOCHARM’s standardized ice-making solutions for fishing vessels have been widely adopted across the archipelago. “This bulk delivery once again validates the stable performance of BAOCHARM flake ice machines in tropical marine environments,” said General Manager Li of the Sales Department. “We are committed to providing our fishery partners with flake ice machines that ensure consistent ice discharge with minimal unplanned downtime in tropical conditions—the repeat orders from Indonesia confirm the equipment’s suitability for these demanding operations.”

Looking Ahead

As the five BCFB-5T flake ice machines head to Surabaya, BAOCHARM’s local after-sales service network stands ready to provide installation support and operator training.
