Industrial Direct Cooling Clear Ice Block Maker Machine Making Transparent Block Ice

Why Choose BAOCHARM Clear Block Ice Making Machine?

In industries where ice purity, clarity, and longevity are critical, standard cloudy ice is insufficient. Cloudiness is caused by trapped air bubbles and impurities. Our machine solves this by producing crystal-clear, high-density block ice that melts slower, cools more effectively, and presents a premium appearance for retail and hospitality use.

This industrial ice block making machine is designed for continuous duty, making it ideal for ice factories, fishing vessels, food processing plants, and large-scale hospitality services.

Core Technology: Advanced Direct Cooling System

The BCTM-3T employs a high-efficiency direct cooling method. Unlike older brine systems, our machine's evaporator plates make direct contact with water, enabling faster and more energy-efficient heat transfer. This process not only saves energy but also contributes to the formation of harder, clearer ice by promoting uniform freezing from one direction, which helps push impurities down and results in a transparent top section.

• Energy-Efficient Demolding: The machine features an intelligent demolding system. Instead of relying solely on energy-intensive hot gas, it utilizes a smart design that repurposes waste heat from the condenser to assist in releasing ice blocks, significantly reducing energy consumption.
• Consistent Ice Quality: The automated process ensures every block ice produced meets the same high standard of clarity and structural integrity, batch after batch.

Key Features and Specifications

The clear ice block maker machine is built for performance and durability:

• High-Capacity Output: Engineered for substantial daily production to meet commercial and industrial demands.
• Automated Operation: Fully automated cycle from freezing to demolding, reducing labor costs and ensuring operational safety. The system includes automatic water replenishment and batch ejection.
• Robust Construction: Key components are built with industrial-grade materials. The evaporator is often made from high-strength, food-grade aluminum or stainless steel for longevity and hygiene.
• Customizable Block Size: While producing standard large blocks, the system can be adapted to create different block dimensions based on mold configuration to suit specific customer needs.
• Rugged and Reliable: Designed for a long service life in demanding environments, from cold storage facilities to coastal fishing ports.

Primary Industrial and Commercial Applications

This versatile ice block making machine serves a wide range of sectors:

1. Fishing & Seafood Industry: The primary market. Transparent ice blocks are essential for preserving catch quality during sea transport and at auctions. Their slow melt rate ensures seafood stays fresh and undiluted.
2. Food Processing & Cold Chain Logistics: Used for temperature control in processing plants and during the transportation of perishable goods.
3. Hospitality & Retail: High-end hotels, bars, and supermarkets use clear, sculpted ice for beverage presentation, seafood displays, and buffets due to its aesthetic appeal.
4. Chemical & Concrete Industries: Process cooling where pure ice is required to avoid contamination.
5. Special Events: Ice carving for festivals, weddings, and corporate events starts with a pristine, bubble-free block of ice.

FAQs

Q: How is clear ice different from regular white ice?

A: Clear ice is denser and free from trapped air bubbles and impurities. It melts slower, cools more effectively, and is visually superior, making it ideal for food display and premium cooling applications.

Q: What is the advantage of a Direct Cooling system over a Brine System?

A: Direct cooling block ice machines are more energy-efficient, have a faster freezing cycle, require less maintenance (no brine circulation system), and typically have a smaller footprint.

Q: Is the ice produced safe for direct contact with food and beverages?

A: Yes. Our machines use food-grade materials (like anodized aluminum or stainless steel) in the freezing chambers, ensuring the transparent ice block maker produces hygienic, safe ice.

Q: Can I customize the size of the ice blocks?

A: Yes. We offer customizable ice block making solutions. The size and shape of the ice blocks can be adjusted based on your specific mold requirements and capacity needs.

Q: What kind of after-sales support do you provide?

A: We provide comprehensive support including installation guidance, operational manuals, and a warranty on core components. Remote technical assistance and a global network for spare parts are available.
