5-Ton Brine Block Ice Machine
ICEMA-BMSB50 is a traditional brine immersion block ice system producing 5,000 kg of extremely transparent, high-density blocks per day. By using a brine solution as a secondary refrigerant, the machine achieves a slower, more uniform freezing process that yields ice with central clarity ideal for food display, sculpture, and pharmaceutical cooling. It is built for steady demand in fisheries, markets, and medium-size industrial cooling where ice aesthetics and longevity matter.
The BMSB50 consists of a brine tank with an immersion-type galvanized steel freezing frame, an external ammonia or Freon refrigeration unit, and a motorized hoist system. The brine tank is heavily insulated with polyurethane sandwich panels and internally lined with anti-corrosion coating. A central agitator ensures constant brine velocity across all cans, preventing thermal stratification and guaranteeing uniform ice thickness. The frame can accept custom can configurations without modifying the main structure.
Stainless steel ice cans filled with fresh water are lowered into the recirculating brine tank maintained at -10°C to -15°C. Heat is removed from the cans evenly, causing dissolved solids and air to be pushed out of the solidifying ice toward the unfrozen core. After the programmed freeze time, the unfrozen core is vacuum-suctioned and replaced with clean water to produce solid, clear blocks. The harvesting station lifts the frame, inverts the cans, and briefly sprays hot water to release the ice blocks, which then slide onto a tilting table.
The brine immersion technique produces blocks with crystal-clear centers and very low air content, making them denser and longer-lasting than direct cooling alternatives. The compressor rack uses a Bitzer screw compressor with an evaporative condenser option for water-scarce regions. The PLC control panel stores up to 20 different freeze curves and monitors brine concentration, temperature, and level automatically. All structural steel is hot-dip galvanized and epoxy-coated; water-contact parts are SUS304. Power supply is 380V/50Hz/3P, with full customization to local grid specifications.
Rapid deployment and production of block ice to provide basic cold chain environment for medicine, vaccines and perishable food, no need for a fixed factory building.
Ice is provided for workers' canteens and food preservation. The brine mode can produce transparent ice for direct drinking water cooling (with good viewing effect).
On-site ice production meets diversified requirements such as catering stalls, first aid stations, and ice sculpture exhibitions.
No need to build a permanent ice factory; the container moves with the fishing vessel during the operation cycle to reduce logistics costs.
