Block Ice Machine

Industrial block ice machines are ideal refrigeration solutions for food processing, seafood preservation, industrial cooling, and other related fields. They are capable of continuously producing large blocks of ice that are hard, dense, and slow to melt, providing a long-lasting and stable low-temperature environment. Compared to traditional flake ice or crushed ice, industrial block ice machines offer a more efficient and durable alternative

High-Performance Block

Ice Machines: Brine Tank

& Direct Cooling

Produce pure, dense solid ice blocks from 5kg to 100kg+ . Choose between traditional brine tank (indirect) or advanced direct refrigeration system for energy efficiency & faster freezing

2~50T/day                    -10℃~-12℃

Production capacity                                              Block core temp

Two Advanced Block Ice Making Technologies

We provide both brine tank (indirect freezing) and direct cooling block ice machines.

Choose according to your energy preference, climate, and production scale

Brine Tank System

Based on calcium chloride brine solution as secondary refrigerant. Ice cans are submerged in a brine tank, and the freezing process is uniform and stable. Ideal for large-scale industrial block ice plants

Typical capacity: 5 – 50 tons per day

Direct Cooling System

Refrigerant (R404A/R507A/R717) evaporates directly into specially designed plates or molds. No brine pump needed – significantly reduces energy consumption by 15-25% and freezes 30% faster

Typical capacity: 2 – 30 tons per day (≤50kg blocks)

Technical Specifications

Standard configurations are available for brine-type and direct-cooling block ice machines, with flexible customization
