Flake ice system for concrete cooling solution

Turn-key Concrete Cooling Solution

Complete Set of Containerzied Ice Water Plant

& Ice Plant & Ice Storing & Dosing System

Over the past 15 years, ICESTA's strong R&D and engineering teams have continuously provided customers with first-class customized ice solutions and complete-set Turnkey projects.

I. Why Ice is needed for concrete Production

Over one decade, ICESTA has pioneered the field of concrete cooling technologies and continues to be the world class in concrete cooling, thanks to the continuous technological developments.

It is necessary to cool or heat the concrete to control the temperature of the freshly mixed and poured concrete. Without a controlled cooling, stress cracks could appear within the concrete, which causes instability and fractures. Especially in dam, tunnel or bridge projects this would be an incalculable risk.

For this reason, regulations about the concrete pouring temperature are being formulated more precise since ever, so that even in moderate temperature zones, the issue of “temperature-controlled concrete” is becoming increasingly important.

II. What constitutes ICESTA concrete cooling equipment

1. Container Ice Plant (Flake and Plate)

1. Ice Storage Facility

2. The Screw Conveyor

3. Ice Weighing Hopper Unit (Ice Dosing System)

III. Solution Design & Parts Description

After the customer’s demand confirmed,our technical team design the detailed project.

1.(Containerized)Flake ice machine

According to customer’s requirements, We supply

1)Standard Flake ice machine without container

2)Flake ice machine fitting in container (20FT, or 40HQ container). The ice machines are well fully pipe connected and tested fully before delivery from factory which give the user’s most convenience at site.

2*30tons per day evaporating cooling flake ice machines

Icesta ice factory, integrated with a Vivid H-M Interactive Feature, cools your Concrete ready mix all automatically

* The Ice delivery system include:

A.Ice deflector & elevator system

The system consists of ice deflector, link mechanism ,support frame, driving unit, and Ice deflector open or closed by Hydraulic unit. one pair of up & down limit switch attached on the ice deflector, which will control the deflector on the up limit position or down,

B.Ice raker

During the ice flaker running, ice raker reverse to turn over the ice mound, which makes those dropping ice spread over the ice storage bin and the ice elevator which fixed with up and down limit as well as safety protection switch will automatically adjust the raker vertical height.

The screw conveyor under the ice storage

The screw conveyor below the ice deflector take charge of the ice which raked

Out from bin delivering to the outside, then into slant delivery system

D.Ice rake hoist

The ice raker elevator raise and reduce the ice raker by fixed pulley and steel wire rope, it consists of machine frame, drive gearing device, chain wheel, chain, steel wire rope and pulley. With the steel wire rope dragged by chain, the ice raker rise & down. and one pair of limit switch attached on the steel frame, which will control the raker stop on the up limit position or down limit position.

The Automatic Ice Storing Bin is converted from a (second hand)40FT Reefer Container (5-8 years). A reefer container is insulated in an integrated way. The temp controlling & defrosting system is controlled by ICESTA control system. And refrigeration Unit System is normally from Carrier or Mitsubishi.
