The direct cooling block ice machine uses aluminum ice molds and direct evaporator contact to freeze water efficiently. No brine tank is required, making the system cleaner, faster, and more energy-saving than traditional methods.
The direct cooling block ice machine is specialized equipment designed for producing block ice. Its evaporator is made of thermally conductive aluminum alloy, allowing the refrigerant to exchange heat directly with the water. This design enables rapid freezing at low temperatures, while the finished ice blocks melt more slowly. With a high level of automation, the machine performs ice making, water refilling, and ice release automatically, eliminating the need for manual operation. The ice produced is clean, hygienic, and meets food-grade standards.
Designed with long-lasting aluminum ice molds that require no replacement, the direct cooling block ice machine features a modular structure that is simple to operate and easy to maintain. It occupies minimal floor space and is convenient to install—users only need to connect water and electricity to begin producing ice.
