Description
Block ice is a kind of rectangular ice; weight can be customized 1kg~200kg. Large dimension but small contact area means block ice does not melt easily. Among the common ice types in tropical countries, block ice has its own unique advantages. Block ice is convenient for storage, handling and transportation and are very important for small-scale fisheries and relatively remote areas. Thermojinn direct cooling block ice machines are stable and energy efficient. Simple to use and cost-effective to maintain.
Block ice applications
Fishing industry, fresh keeping, food processing cooling, chemical industry and other fields. The transparent ice more used for ice sculpture, ice show etc.
Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine
Modular design is adopted. The large capacity direct cooling block ice machine is divided into refrigeration unit modular, evaporator modular and cooling tower modular. The evaporator modular is divided into many sets according to size of ice machine.
Refrigeration unit modular
Include compressor, liquid reservoir, water-cooling condenser, cooling pipe, valve, electric control panel and so on.
Evaporator modular
Include evaporator, ice platform, ice platform left-right translation module and some supporting equipment.

Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine Features
- Adopts latest technology, no need of brine tank
- Aerospace aluminium alloy 6053-75, high heat transfer coefficient, high strength and robust evaporator by enhanced welding technology;
- Direct heat exchange between the water and refrigerant in aluminium evaporator brings higher ice making efficiency, thus ice forms 1.5 times faster than ordinary ice machine which uses brine water;
- Easy-to-operate screw rod lifting mechanism gets feedback from the distance sensor which can realize more precise and safe control;
- Passive reservoir control method applied to specify precise liquid supply, which increases ice making efficiency and system reliability,
- Automatic water adding function by back type liquid level control technology,
- Silicone foam seal avoids evaporator dripping problem,
- Unique refrigeration system, using hot gas defrost technology makes easier and automatic ice harvest;
- Integrated modular design facilitates installation and maintenance on the spot Food grade manufacturing process, totally complies with food standard.
