Product Overview

The BMB300 is a true factory solution, not a single machine. It comprises four independent direct cooling evaporator modules fed by a common high-efficiency compound compression system (screw plus reciprocating booster in economized configuration). This setup allows partial load operation, maintenance bypass of any module, and scalable production. The structure is seismically rated and can be installed on multiple floors or a mezzanine. All operational data—freeze progression, harvest count, energy consumption per batch, compressor runtime—is logged and accessible via OPC-UA for factory MES integration.


Working Principle

The system uses a falling-film pre-cooler to bring incoming process water down to 4°C before it enters the ice molds, drastically cutting freeze time. Direct expansion plates operate in a sequential harvest mode: while one module defrosts and drops ice, the other three continue freezing, ensuring steady compressor loading. Blocks are released onto a shock-absorbing conveyor that transports them directly to a cold storage or a crusher station. Defrost waste water heat is recovered to pre-heat boiler feed water, boosting overall plant efficiency.


Advantages

Key advantages include full remote operation via VPN-enabled PLC with live alarm notification, a centralized oil return system for the parallel compressor rack, and intelligent demand response—the plant can target production during off-peak electricity rates automatically. Water contact materials are 316L stainless steel and food-grade aluminum, complying with FDA and EU 1935/2004. Ice block weight is configurable from 15 kg to 50 kg per block. Standard power is 3-phase 380V/50Hz, with 6.3 kV or 13.8 kV transformer options available for direct grid connection in large facilities.
