The 100tons ice block machine view is very interesting and attracting . The process includes big block ices melt ice processing ,taking off ice processing ,and adding water into the mold . It is a very perfect producing process.
100 tons is the maximum capacity of the fully configured machine, this one is a lot smaller. The ice is used for seafood preservation on fishing vessels etc. The explanation is on the manufacturer web site.
There appear to be 20 blocks of ice per "run". Each block appears to be about (SWAG) 200 gallons (US). 1 (US) gallon of water (@62 Deg F) weighs up to 8.34 pounds. 200 gallons * 20 blocks * 8.34 pounds = 32,960 pound of water or 16.48 tons per run. Ignoring loss of water due to slight thaw to remove blocks from molds, an unknown solution (yellow stuff at end) used to freeze the water in the molds, it could be presumed 100 tons of ice per 8 hour production shift (given 1 hr to freeze each run= 6 hrs plus 2 hrs per shift for maintenance, setup/reset and sanitation). It's all in the labeling/marketing.
I worked in an ice plant that made ice on a vertical sheet then it got broken up and used for shrimp boats. Then it had a seperate line that took ice chips and pressed them into block form as water flowed over it. Then it was bagged and palletized and stored.
If you saw how foamy white that ice was that means it's not pure. Clear ice that multiple days to produce. When the ice is approximately 1 to 2 inches a hole is punched in the top and the interior water is removed and filled with purified water and a salt tablet added to pull the remaining impurities out of the water. When the ice is crushed to make bagged ice the foamy center is discarded. The remaining clear ice is your bad guys. The production of this ice in my opinion is for commercial use such as in the fishing industry possibly shaved or chipped to be placed over captured fish. Just an observation on my part. I worked in a block ice house and we produced clarified ice for consumption.
In India and Pakistan, the ice is sooooo cleaned and healthy that you will find mice, rate or frog! Never buy and drink any drinks with ice in those country!
I cannot believe there are so many here doubting about 100 tons.. It's a 100 tons ice maker, not a 100 tons lifter.. Dont make innocence your weapons...
Just so you know, that's actually less than 5 tons of ice. If you can't tell that from first glance then you really don't know much about the ice-weighing business... don't worry, you'll get there eventually.
sockpuppetbitme that's just one batch. If you knew anything about ice machines you would know that a thousand pound machine is rated for a thousand pounds a day. Douche bag learn your shit before flapping at the lips.
is there any way i can sponsor someone to make this machine in Greenland and put some ice in the sea? like i think meby that help on the ice melting there and sole a big problem to let me know if this is possible thank you
These guys were barefoot on icy cold ground. That is pretty crazy. Or maybe it’s not cold, but then the process would be less efficient not to mention it seems unsanitary either way.
The crane was labelled 5 ton, so each batch couldn't be more than that. However, if they had 20 batches in process than yes "100 tons ice block machine"
100 tons is maximum process in batch every tank is 100kg max, 18 tanks in length so.. on video is 1,8 ton max. (probably less, i suppose half - with 50kg tanks)
The machine is a modern Chinese copy (copy? Never from China..) of an original factory at Kingston upon Hull in the UK. The UK factory is now a museum but the ice was made for the massive fishing fleet they once had there. I expect this Chinese one is meant for keeping fish fresh too.
J, clear ice needs to be made from flowing water, it has little to do with the purity of your water unless it is visibly contaminated. The white ice you see here is due to the way the molecules set up, for example; snow.
I hope that ice is not for human consumption... no real separation between the coolant mix and the ice chambers and then just dump them on the floor and drag them all over that facility... maybe they are dropping it off at the north pole to help combat global warming... lol
Budi Leksono Jajajaja, you know, even some Chinese would argue that those ice makers are even imported from some other country! Maybe the country you are living in
