Ice Block Maker
The block ice machine maker is one type of industrial ice maker known for its high industrial capacity. This device, through its specialized system, can receive water and transform it into large ice cube molds (half a meter or one meter in length). Ice cube makers are used in various industries, and industrial units prefer to use them for ice production because they can manufacture large ice cube molds.
Negin-Tabkh Company operates in Iran with its experienced expertise and skilled technical staff in designing, manufacturing, and operating ice cube makers with capacities ranging from 50 to 500 molds in 12 hours. They use advanced equipment and provide the best warranty and after-sales service.
What is an ice block maker?
The industrial ice block maker machine is one of the devices used in ice production, specifically for producing ice in block form. These molds are designed specifically for producing ice in different shapes and high quality. The ice block maker machine consists of several parts, including a water tank, a cooling system, and ice production molds.
With the ice block maker, water is poured into the tank and rapidly cooled using the cooling system. The cooled water then enters the ice production molds, where it transforms into ice and takes on various shapes such as cubes or cylindrical molds. The ice is then removed from the molds and can be used in various industries such as food, medicine, or preserving fresh products.
In general, the ice block machine is an important device in the ice manufacturing industry, enabling the production of high-quality ice blocks. With these devices, it is possible to produce ice on a large scale and use it in various industries and applications.
Performance of the ice block maker machine
The ice block maker machine operates by placing molds filled with pure water inside the freezing tank. The temperature of the freezing tank is cooled by the cooling system to approximately 10-15 degrees Celsius, and the water inside the molds is circulated by a fan to convert it into solid ice at a temperature ranging from 5-8 degrees Celsius. When the water inside the molds is completely transformed into ice, the molds are removed from the freezing tank using a crane, and the ice is emptied from the molds. The produced ice can be used as needed, directly packaged, or stored in a refrigerator for future use.

Spare Parts for Moulded Ice Making Machine
A molded ice-making machine consists of a variety of parts and key components. Here is a comprehensive explanation of its main parts:
Ice Moulds (Ice Block)
The ice molds in a molded ice-making machine can be customized according to the desired size. The standard dimensions of the molds can be 25 kilograms, but different sizes can be requested based on the requirements. It should be noted that larger molds take longer to freeze the ice. For example, freezing ice in 25-kilogram molds takes about 8 hours, while freezing ice in 50-kilogram molds takes about 12 hours. The ice molds in molded ice-making machines are made of galvanized sheets or stainless steel 304 and 316, with sheet thickness ranging from 1.25 to 2 mm.
Cooling Compressor
The cooling compressor is selected based on the daily ice production capacity. Cooling compressors are available in a variety of models and brands, and they should be chosen based on needs and budget. The cooling compressor can be reciprocating (piston) or screw (rotary) type. The selection of the cooling compressor also depends on the capacity and usage of the device (industrial or commercial), and the type of refrigerant (ammonia or Freon). A variety of cooling compressors are available in Iran, especially at Neghin-Tabkh Khavarmianeh, including the following brands: Bitzer – Germany, Bock – Germany, Grasso – Netherlands, Kirloskar – India, Gram – Denmark, Sabroe – Denmark, Dorin – Italy, Refcomp – Italy.
Evaporator
The cooling evaporator is placed in the brine tank and cools the water. The design and implementation of the evaporator play a crucial role in reducing the ice freezing time and increasing the efficiency and lifespan of the device. The design of the evaporator in the molded ice-making machine should allow for proper airflow and even distribution of heat to ensure proper and fast ice formation.
Control Unit
The molded ice-making machine contains a control unit that allows for adjusting and monitoring the production process. The user interface is used to set the operation time, temperature, and control other production-related processes. Display screens are used to show information regarding the status, operation, and maintenance.
Cooling System
The cooling system is used to cool the water in the evaporator and freeze the ice in the moulds. The type of cooling system depends on the size and requirements of the device. The cooling system can use air-cooled, water-cooled, or ammonia-based compressors.
Water Control System
The water control system is used to ensure proper water flow and distribution within the ice moulds. It includes water pumps, control valves, and distribution pipes.
Outer Structure and Insulation
Moulded ice-making machines are generally manufactured using stainless steel to protect against rust and corrosion. Insulation is used to maintain the coldness inside the device and reduce heat loss.
Other Parts
Other parts include the external door of the device, motors, switches and electrical components, safety and protection systems, water pipes, and connections.
It should be noted that the configurations of molded ice-making machines may vary among different manufacturers and according to the specific requirements and specifications of each customer. Therefore, it is best to contact the manufacturing company for more information.
Benefits of a mold ice maker
The benefits of using an industrial cube ice maker to produce large-sized ice cubes include:
1. Large production capacity: An industrial cube ice maker can produce varying quantities of ice, allowing you to meet high-demand requirements and provide ice as a supplier to other businesses and industrial centers.
2. Precise ice shaping: With the use of large and customized ice molds, you can produce ice in desired shapes and sizes. This capability ensures precise ice shaping according to your specific needs, which is particularly important in various applications.
3. Cost and time savings: On-site ice production reduces transportation costs and eliminates the need to purchase ice from external sources. Additionally, the high speed and continuous production capability of an industrial cube ice maker save time, resulting in fast and efficient productivity.
4. Precise temperature and timing control: Industrial cube ice makers feature precise temperature and timing control systems. This capability allows you to adjust and monitor production parameters, ensuring consistent high-quality ice production.
5. High stability and quality: Ice produced by industrial cube ice makers is known for its high quality and stability. This is crucial for preserving chilled food freshness, transporting perishable goods, and other essential applications.

Purchasing an Iranian Cube Ice Maker from Negin-Tabkh
To purchase a cube ice maker, you should first inform us of the quantity of ice you require. Additionally, the installation location of the device directly affects the price and purchase of the cube ice maker. For example, if the device is installed in a hot climate area with the possibility of it being in the shade, it is recommended to purchase an air-cooled cube ice maker. Also, it is recommended to purchase a cube ice maker with a cabin for locations such as highway stations and pilgrim stations.
Furthermore, in hot climate regions where it is challenging to provide water for cooling, air-cooled cube ice makers are typically used. On the other hand, in areas such as northern regions of Iran, it is recommended to purchase a water-cooled cube ice maker. However, to choose the best cube ice maker, it is advisable to consult our consultants, as purchasing a cube ice maker is a specialized matter that requires a thorough study of your needs and environmental conditions.
