- Industrial Block Ice Solutions
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
- Traditional · Reliable · Heavy Duty
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
- Proven robust design, 30+ years lifespan
- Suitable for 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, 50kg, 100kg blocks
- Easy maintenance and lower initial investment
- Consistent ice quality – crystal clear blocks
Typical capacity: 5 – 50 tons per day
- High efficiency & energy saving · Rapid freezing · Fully automatic
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
- Lower power consumption & less floor space
- No brine corrosion issues – fully stainless steel
- Automatic ice unloading & reduced labor cost
- Ideal for food-grade ice and pure block demands
Typical capacity: 2 – 30 tons per day (≤50kg blocks)
