Block Ice Plants offered by us are developed by a team of experienced professionals, in tandem with the norms and guidelines already laid down by the industry.

Offered range of plant consist a brine tank, an electrically operated crane, a thawing tank, a tilting device with an inclined wooden table to receive the ice blocks as they slide out of the cans and filler.

Operations/ Functions

The Ice Machine & Harvesting section of the plant consists of the Brine Tank, an electrically operated Lifting Device (Crane) running on rails along the sides of the tank, a Thawing Tank, a Tilting Device with an inclined Wooden Table to receive the ice blocks as they slide out of the cans and a filler. Standard Rectangular 25,50 & 150 kg Ice cans, the brine tank is covered with solid Wooden Lids as shown on the picture.

The Machine Room occupies the rear the Machine Room accommodates the Brine Chiller with the Liquid Separator the Brine Recirculation Pump the Air or water Cooled condenser the Refrigerant Receiver the Electric Switch Board and other accessories which are connected to one another through refrigerant and brine piping as shown on the piping Diagram and the electrical wiring Cold pips and vessels are insulated as required.

The refrigerant evaporating in the brine chiller cools the brine the cold carrier which is recirculated by the brine Pump from the Brine Tank through the brine chiller and back to the brine tank. The recirculated quantity is sufficient to facilitate adequate agitation in the brine tank. Removal of the process heat takes place in the Air or water Cooled condenser. Liquid refrigerant collects in the Liquid Receiver from where it passes over an expansion device back to the Brine Chiller.

The Refrigeration capacity required to maintain the temperature in the ice storage is small compared to that of the block ice plant, Therefore, to simplify design and minimize service and maintenance work, The Ice Storage is cooled with the ice Storage is cooled with an Air-Cooler Refrigerator through brine pumped from the brine Tank, for which a small brine pump is provided.

The Two main sections of the plant, namely the Ice making & Harvesting and the Machine Room & Ice Storage are Placed Side by Side on the Installation site and Interconnected by the supply and Return Lines for the brine and Electric Power Supply for Harvesting and Lighting.

The flake ice produced by PPEPL machines is sub-cooled to -5°C/-6°C Due to the high amount of energy accumulation the ice will last much longer than some other types of ice used for preserving fish,Restaurants - for salad bars, Bakeries and Laboratories and research facilities.

In addition the shape of flake ice offers a large surface area whereby the product is cooled rapidly.

Saliant Features

Higher refrigeration efficiency and lower loss of refrigeration capacity: Automatic flake ice machine adopts the latest vertical evaporator with inner ice removal tools. . In the process of ice, the water distribution device in ice maker sprays water even on the internal surface of the ice maker to freeze in a short time. After the ice is formed, the ice removal tool drops down and cut the ice. In this method, it makes a full use of evaporator and increases the efficiency of ice maker.

High quality, dry and non-caked: The thickness of flake ice produced by automatic flake ice machine with vertical evaporator is about 1mm to 2mm. The flake ice shape is irregular and it has good mobility.

Simple structure and small land area: The series of ice flake has different kinds including fresh water type, seawater type, and fixed cold source type, equip cold source by customer, and ice flake machine with cold room. And the daily capacity is ranges from 500kg to 60000kg. Customers can choose suitable machine according to site and different water quality. Compared to traditional ice, it has advantage of small land area and low operation cost (no man for ice harvest).

Advantages

The temperature of ice is lower and it can reach 8 degree Celsius below zero.

The Ice is dry and transparent, good looking shape, non-caked, good mobility and sanitary.

It has the flake shape, so that it has big contact area with refrigerating products and the effect is excellent.

Flake shape and no sharp edges, cannot destroy refrigerating products and it is beneficial for storage and transportation

The thickness of flake ice is 1mm-2mm. No need to crush and can use at any time

Movable Ice Plants for Multiple Projects

Fitzer has the answer for customers who need turn-key ice plants that are easy to install and can be moved from place to place a popular Fitzer ice system installed in standard shipping containers. These pre-assembled ice plants are easily transportable by truck or rail, making them particularly useful for operations in remote locations, or those that need to move ice making facilities from one project site to another.
