As a company that has been deeply involved in the fresh food industry for many years, the customer understands the sales market and users of ice cubes better, and wants to build a comprehensive ice factory.


At the same time, it can meet the needs of various fields such as the edible ice market, aquatic product market, industrial production market, and transportation market. It is required that the ice produced should be differentiated from the ice in the local ice market. Cleaner, more resistant to melting, and fully automated edible ice equipment!


pain point 1


The customer's comprehensive ice factory not only produces and sells edible ice but also industrial ice, and has many types of ice equipment, and also involves the linkage use of other supporting equipment.


Moreover, the storage, packaging, and delivery standards and time required for different types of ice are also different according to market demand. How to reasonably plan the entire ice plant is the first and most concerned issue for customers.

CBFI Solutions


CBFI has specially set up a project team for such large-scale projects, and has visited the customer's site for many times.


CBFI's professional sales also learned about its investment intentions and future plans from the customer. The project team, technical engineers, and electrical engineers held a meeting to discuss and plan the ice plant plan for the customer based on the customer's needs and the actual situation on site.

The ice factory is tiled into a whole floor, and the overall plan is divided into two areas: the edible ice production machine area and the industrial ice production area.


Due to the different ways of use, the workshop planning standards and space placement of the two types of ice are also different.

The edible ice production area adopts GMP production standards. Two 10-ton edible tube ice machines and four 5-ton edible cube ice machines and supporting equipment are placed. There is also a dedicated ice storage for edible ice. The shipping platform is at Front door.


The main unit and the evaporative cooler are placed outdoors and stacked up and down, which not only saves space, but also avoids pollution to the edible ice workshop during maintenance.

A 120-ton saltwater ice block pond is designed in the industrial ice production area, including the main engine, ice pushing device, saltwater pond, and ice pouring device. The shipping platform is at the back door.


Although the customer's site area is sufficient, CBFI did not fully use all the site when designing the ice brick pool, but ensured the salt water When there is enough space for pool construction, some sites are reserved for customers to flexibly expand production capacity in the future. (Due to the continuous high temperature weather in Chongqing this year, the customer's ice factory business is in short supply, so he urgently purchased an additional ice machine from our company and placed it in the reserved position. The production capacity has expanded and the profit has also increased a lot.)


pain point 2


The customer requires that the size of the industrial ice should be large enough, resistant to melting, and the output should be large enough, and the ice should be sold to the long and short line transport vehicles of fresh vegetables and the local seafood market.


CBFI Solutions


According to customer requirements and site survey, CBFI recommends customers to use salt water ice block pools.


CBFI is a pioneer in the large-scale fluorine-refrigerated ice block machine industry. In 2010, it successfully developed and manufactured the world's first large-scale fluorine-refrigerated ice block machine with a daily ice production capacity of 100 tons. It has rich experience in the design, construction and construction of large-scale ice block pools.

The ice bricks produced by the salt water ice brick pool are not only the largest in size among all ice types, but also have better melting resistance and are not easy to melt.

Ice is made from salt water. The ice making water is installed in the ice film and soaked in salt water to make ice. There are 5 contact surfaces that freeze, and there is a lot of salt water around the ice film. The cold storage in the salt water is relatively sufficient. Therefore, the brine ice blocks freeze more evenly, the ice crystal layer inside the ice cubes is relatively tight, and the ice cubes are relatively hard and resistant to melting.

When CBFI built the salt water ice block pool, it has a set of perfect insulation technology for the ice block pool to ensure that the salt water pool will not leak for life.

After the ground is leveled, first lay a layer of waterproof coating, then wrap the three-layer extruded board with plastic film and place it on the waterproof coating, then spread a layer of plain cement, and place the welded iron plate on it.


In addition to the above requirements and pain points, from the perspective of saving operating costs for customers, CBFI also designed a heat recovery system for the customer's ice plant. The heat generated by the compressor can be used for domestic hot water and clean water, which greatly saves water costs for customers.



Enterprise effect feedback


After the construction and commissioning of the ice plant, the customer started production immediately. The quality of all kinds of ice cubes produced is better than other businesses, so the sales are also very tight.


Moreover, there have been no major failures in various types of equipment after running for so long. CBFI after-sales engineers also come to the customer's equipment regularly to maintain and overhaul the equipment, so that the ice plant can operate normally and smoothly.


Customers are very satisfied with CBFI's pre-sales and after-sales services, especially praising the rationality and forward-looking overall planning of the ice plant.


It is precisely because CBFI has reserved enough space that customers can rest assured to purchase additional equipment to expand production capacity during the continuous high temperature weather in Chongqing this year.
