Large-Scale Concrete Cooling Project in The Philippines - Complete 60T/Day Containerized Plate Ice Plant Solution

Project Location: Philippines

Project Time: 2024

Application Industry: Large-scale infrastructure construction, Concrete Cooling

Core Requirement: To provide a continuous, stable, and massive supply of cooling medium for large-scale concrete pouring (e.g., bridges, dams, foundations) in a tropical hot climate, in order to control concrete hydration heat, prevent thermal cracking, and ensure project quality and structural safety.

Core Challenges: Tight project schedule requiring rapid deployment; large and continuous ice demand; site conditions demanding high equipment reliability and automation.

This solution provides a complete, turnkey plate ice production, storage, and delivery system, addressing project ice needs in a modular and automated manner.

Total Capacity: 60 tons per day (based on 24-hour operation).

Core Equipment & Configuration:

• Ice Production Unit: 2 sets of ICESTA-PI-30T Containerized Plate Ice Makers.

• Single Unit Daily Output: 30 tons of plate ice.

• Plate Ice Specification: 8-10mm thickness, featuring large surface area for high cooling efficiency and easy mixing with concrete.

• Form Factor: Standard 40-foot container modules, internally integrated with refrigeration system, evaporator, and electrical control cabinet, pre-commissioned before shipment.

• Storage & Delivery Unit: 1 set of ICESTA-SILO-100T Fully Automatic Ice Storage and Delivery Silo.

• Storage Capacity: 100 tons.

• Function: Automatically receives plate ice, manages inventory, and delivers ice on-demand and in measured quantities via an internal screw conveyor.

• Terminal Processing Unit: 1 set of Ice-Water Preparation System.

• Ice-Water Preparation Capacity: 180 cubic meters per day.

• Function: Rapidly converts plate ice into low-temperature ice water for concrete mixing or direct cooling, offering flexible application methods.

• Control System: Centralized PLC integrated control system with a touch-screen HMI (Human-Machine Interface). Enables one-touch automated control and remote monitoring of the entire process from ice making, storage to delivery.

1. Rapid Deployment: Containerized modular design allows for quick commissioning upon arrival with only simple connections to water and power, significantly saving time compared to traditional built-in-place ice plants and perfectly aligning with urgent project timelines.

2. High Efficiency & Reliability: Utilizes high-efficiency direct evaporation ice-making technology and international brand compressors (e.g., Bitzer, Copeland), ensuring continuous output at rated capacity even in the Philippines' high ambient temperatures, with stable operation.

3. Fully Automated & Intelligent Operation: "Production-Storage-Delivery" full-process automation reduces reliance on manual labor; intelligent silo management prevents ice clumping, ensuring consistent output quality.

4. Strong Adaptability: Container structure provides robust protection for equipment; corrosion-resistant design suits complex construction site environments with a long service life.

5. Significant Benefits: Provided the customer with a stable and reliable source of high-quality ice, effectively controlling concrete temperature rise from the material source, safeguarding the structural safety and durability of the main project, and ensuring overall construction progress.
