Block Ice Plant

An ammonia block ice plant producing 50 kg ice blocks uses ammonia (NH₃) refrigeration to manufacture large solid ice blocks, commonly used in fisheries, cold storage, and food processing.

 Key Features:

1. Ammonia Refrigerant System

• Uses ammonia, a natural refrigerant with zero ozone depletion (ODP=0) and zero global warming potential (GWP=0)

• Highly efficient for large-scale ice production with lower energy consumption

2. Ice Block Size

• Produces 50 kg solid ice blocks

• Uniform size and shape ideal for transportation, storage, and industrial use

3. Direct Contact Freezing in Molds

• Water is frozen inside insulated molds or boxes

• Ammonia cools the mold walls or plates, freezing the water into blocks

4. Continuous or Batch Production

• Can be designed for batch-wise production or semi-continuous depending on plant setup and demand

5. Energy Efficient Operation

• Ammonia's thermodynamic properties reduce power usage during freezing

• Well-insulated molds and storage chambers minimize heat gain

6. Robust Industrial Design

• Heavy-duty compressors, evaporators, and condensers sized for 50 kg block production

• Corrosion-resistant materials for durability and hygiene

7. Safety Systems

• Ammonia leak detectors and alarms

• Emergency ventilation and automatic shutdown systems

• Compliance with safety standards and local regulations

8. Water Quality and Filtration

• Integrated water treatment to ensure ice purity

• Filters and sanitization equipment to avoid impurities

9. Ease of Operation and Maintenance

• Automated controls for temperature, pressure, and production cycles
