In 2024, CBFI (Guangzhou Icesource Co., Ltd) successfully delivered and installed a 10-ton direct cooling block ice machine for a customer in Anhui Province, China. This project not only provided high-efficiency ice production but also included a complete 500m³ cold room solution, achieving a true one-stop service from ice making to ice storage.

High-Quality Ice Production – Crystal Clear & Uniform Ice Blocks

The CBFI direct cooling block ice machine uses advanced aluminum alloy ice molds and world-famous compressors (Bitzer/Copeland/Refcomp). After 8-12 hours of freezing, each ice block weighs 20kg or 50kg with perfect transparency and uniform thickness.

From the top view of the ice molds, customers can clearly see the ice surface is extremely smooth and bubble-free – this is the distinctive advantage of direct cooling technology compared to traditional brine systems.

Effortless Ice Harvesting with Automatic Sliding Design

One of the biggest highlights of this project is the automatic ice sliding system. Once the ice-making cycle is complete, the ice blocks automatically detach from the molds and slide directly into the cold storage room via a gentle slope – no crane or manual handling required.

This design significantly reduces labor costs and improves operational safety, especially suitable for large-scale commercial ice plants.

500m³+ Professional Cold Room Construction Service

In addition to the 10-ton direct cooling block ice machine, CBFI also designed and built a 500+ cubic meter cold room for the customer. The entire cold room uses high-density PU panels and efficient refrigeration units to maintain a stable temperature of -10°C, ensuring long-term ice storage without melting.

Customers no longer need to contact multiple suppliers – CBFI provides everything from ice machine manufacturing, cold room design, installation, to after-sales technical guidance, truly achieving a turnkey ice factory solution.

Professional Installation & Technical Support

Every CBFI direct cooling block ice machine undergoes 100% pre-factory testing and debugging. After delivery, our engineers traveled to the site in Anhui to provide on-site installation guidance and staff training, ensuring the equipment was put into production smoothly on the first day.
