Industrial Automatic Flake Ice Maker Making Machine for Fishery Process

The BCPB-3T Industrial Automatic Flake Ice Maker is engineered for demanding commercial and industrial applications where consistent and efficient cooling is critical. This robust flake ice making machine produces a high volume of dry, sub-cooled flake ice, which is the preferred choice for seafood preservation, meat processing, and concrete cooling due to its superior heat absorption and gentle texture.

At the core of its design is a focus on durability and automation, ensuring minimal operator intervention and maximum uptime. It is an ideal ice-making solution for fishery processing plants, food production facilities, and large-scale catering businesses that require a dependable on-site ice supply.

Core Technical Features and Advantages

Automated, High-Efficiency Ice Production

This flake ice maker machine is built around a fully automated system designed for simplicity and reliability.

• Intelligent Control System: Features an advanced PLC control panel that automates the entire ice-making cycle, from initiation to harvest. The system includes clear diagnostics for easy monitoring and maintenance.
• Optimized Ice Quality: The machine produces dry, loose flake ice with a consistent thickness typically between 1.6 to 2.3mm. This dry characteristic prevents clumping, making it easy to handle, store, and transport.
• Rapid Cooling Capacity: Flake ice has a large surface-area-to-volume ratio, allowing it to absorb heat much faster than block or tube ice. This leads to quicker temperature reduction for products like freshly caught fish, locking in freshness and extending shelf life.

Robust Construction for Industrial Duty

Constructed to withstand continuous operation in challenging environments, the BCPB-3T is a cornerstone of industrial infrastructure.

• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Key components, including the evaporator and water distribution system, are made from stainless steel or other treated materials to resist corrosion, a crucial feature for use in marine or high-humidity environments.
• Heavy-Duty Components: The system is powered by a reliable industrial-grade compressor and a sturdy gear motor that drives the ice-cutting mechanism, ensuring consistent performance under heavy loads.
• Simplified Maintenance: Designed with serviceability in mind. Easy access to major components and a straightforward mechanical design help reduce maintenance time and costs.

Energy-Conscious and Reliable Operation

In an industry where operational costs are paramount, this ice flake making machine is designed for efficiency.

• Efficient Thermal Design: The vertical evaporator design allows for efficient heat exchange, and the system can be configured with air-cooled or water-cooled condensers to suit your facility's specific utilities and ambient conditions.
• Stable Performance: Engineered to deliver consistent ice output even with variations in incoming water temperature, providing reliable production planning for your business.

Quick Questions & Answers

Q: What makes flake ice better for fish preservation than other ice types?

A: Flake ice cools seafood faster due to its large surface area. Its soft, dry texture is gentle on delicate fish skins and prevents bruising, while it also provides better coverage, creating a consistent cooling environment.

Q: Is this machine suitable for use on a fishing vessel?

A: Yes, the BCPB-3T is built with durability in mind. For marine use, specify corrosion-resistant options. It is designed for stable operation, making it a reliable choice for onboard seafood preservation.

Q: How much electrical power does this industrial flake ice machine require?

A: It is designed for standard industrial 3-phase power supplies (e.g., 380V/50Hz or 460V/60Hz), which are common in processing plants and large facilities. Always check the specific power requirements for your model.

Q: Can the thickness of the ice be adjusted?

A: Yes, the ice thickness is typically adjustable within a range (e.g., 1.6-2.3mm) to suit different application needs, whether you require faster-melting ice or more durable flakes.

Q: What kind of maintenance does this automatic machine require?

A: Regular maintenance includes cleaning the water system to prevent scale, checking and cleaning the condenser, and ensuring moving parts are properly lubricated. The automated control system often includes alerts to help schedule maintenance.
