The BMSB50-CS couples the BMS50 brine ice maker with a modular polyurethane cold room erected around the harvesting station. The cold room operates at -5°C and is equipped with a separate, independent condensing unit and evaporator, sized to maintain ice temperature even during high-frequency door openings. An internal conveyor and a push-bar gantry automatically stack blocks up to 3.5 meters high, maximizing storage density without manual labor inside the freezer.

After the brine cycle completes, ice blocks are released from the cans directly inside the adjoining cold room. An automated incline conveyor lifts and passes each block through a sealed pass-through window. Inside the cold room, a PLC-coordinated stacker crane places blocks in predetermined layers, using anti-freeze coated contact surfaces to prevent clumping. The cold store’s evaporator unit uses an electric defrost system and runs on a time-based or infrared ice-temperature trigger, ensuring constant -5°C conditions with minimal energy consumption.

The integrated design drastically reduces ice melt loss because blocks never encounter ambient air between production and storage. The cold room comprises 150 mm thick polyurethane panels with cam-lock assembly, allowing future expansion or relocation. The system’s central controller coordinates both the brine timer and the cold storage set point, and it features a proprietary algorithm that switches the cold storage compressor to an energy-saving “night mode” when no harvesting occurs. Power options include 380V 3-phase and full solar hybrid compatibility with DC compressor arrays. The structure meets EU HACCP storage directives.

Temporary cold storage in disaster areas/war zones

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.

Remote mining areas/oilfield living areas

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).

Large outdoor activities (music festivals, sports events)

On-site ice production meets diversified requirements such as catering stalls, first aid stations, and ice sculpture exhibitions.

Tropical islands/seasonal fishing grounds

No need to build a permanent ice factory; the container moves with the fishing vessel during the operation cycle to reduce logistics costs.
