ICE MAKING PLANT

There are a number of basic facts and considerations to be kept in mind when planning for settingup a Ice factory. Some of these are listed below:

• the probable demand for ice consumers
• the ability of buyers to pay genuine fair cost for ice
• the availability of a clean uncontaminated and pure water supply
• air and feed water temperatures
• the reliability (constant) of the electrical power supply
• a convenient site for the installation of the plant (location like near to Mandi etc.)
• qualified man powers to maintain and operate the plant & equipments
• spare parts and service availability in the state/country

Types of icemaker

• Block ice
• Rapid block ice
• Flake ice
• Tube ice
• Plate ice
• Other icemakers

 The target buyers for ice plant can be divided into two categories:

Domestic users, such as people living in rural areas & suburbs of cities, where access to refrigerators is difficult due to lower purchasing power. Second category is institutional buyers (big byers), who buy in bulk, such as government organizations, factories, hotels, restaurants, bakeries, fish sellers, milk plants etc.

An ice plant production facility mainly comprised of compressors, condenser, water  tanks, brine  agitator,  accumulator  for  parallel  supply  of  ammonia,  crane, trolley, oil separators and electric motors. All the needed machineries are available locally and easily acquired from local machinery vendors. The palnt and equipments to produce Ice is available with the vendors locally at a very reasonable price. One of the benefits of using locally manufactured machinery is availability of spare parts and it’s easier to find operators to operate these machines.
