Case Study: 60-Ton Flake Ice & Fully Automated Storage & Delivery System for A North American Offshore Fishing Company

A U.S.-based integrated offshore fishing and seafood processor operating in the North Atlantic and Alaskan waters faced challenges with manual crushed ice supply: low efficiency, high waste, hygiene concerns, and inability to meet peak demand for multiple vessels.

ICESTA designed and delivered a complete "60-ton flake ice production + fully automated storage + conveying system" including:

60Ton Flake Ice Machine: 60 tons/day output, stable operation, uniform flake thickness, subcooled and dry.

Automated Ice Storage Bin: Large capacity, equipped with rotating rakes and load cells for FIFO operation.

Conveying System: Stainless steel pipelines delivering flake ice to dock loading points and the processing plant.

PLC Control Panel: Supports remote monitoring, alarms, and data exchange with client' s management system.

1. Extreme environment ready: Key components made of corrosion-resistant materials suitable for high-humidity, salt-spray marine environments.

2. Energy efficient: Advanced refrigeration circuit delivers energy savings compared to conventional models.

3. Hygienic & safe: Fully enclosed conveying design minimizes ice exposure, meeting food processing hygiene standards.
