The most common ice factories are edible ice and industrial ice factories. For the selection of an ice plant, many factors need to be considered, such as investment costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, water supply and preference for ice types. Ice manufacturers must design and manufacture ice cubes that can meet the needs of the local market with the existing equipment. Whether it is a new ice factory or an old ice factory, only by controlling lower costs will it be more competitive in the local ice market force.
Therefore, the choice of automatic ice-making equipment and the competitive environment in the local ice-making market are factors that investors need to consider and investigate. In addition, investors also need to consider total production costs (including operating costs and the rate of return on invested capital). The high operating costs of ice-making plants can easily lead to increased ice-making costs and lower competitiveness. In the long run, the risks are greater and the return on investment is long. Ice factories with high initial equipment investment costs generally have a high degree of automation, low labor costs, and high equipment energy-saving efficiency. They have low operating costs, strong competitiveness, and low risks.
The usual approach is to make a budget of capital and operating costs based on the investor's requirements, and then make a technical or economic analysis based on the investor's expected budget. Practice has proved that this is a very effective and cost-effective analysis for customers. This analysis not only helps customers to make good investment budgets and price estimates, but also is of great benefit to the selection of ice factories. Because the ice production conditions in each place, such as electricity, water, capital and labor costs, are critical to the design of ice factory specifications.
In order to help investors who want to invest in ice factories to better choose and design their most profitable ice factories, Guangzhou Bingquan Refrigeration suggests that you collect as much as possible the conditions and estimated cost of preparing an ice factory. The following is an analysis made by Guangzhou Bingquan Refrigeration on the factors that must be considered in the design of an ice plant, and I hope it will be helpful to your investment. A wide range of tube ice machine,block ice machine and other edible ice making machine for your needs from www.icemakerchina.com.
1. How many tons of ice maker machine's daily production capacity is needed (the output of ice maker manufacturers is calculated based on 24 hours), this is estimated based on your local market demand.
2. The design storage capacity of the ice storage warehouse (the ice from the ice making machine needs to be stored in a cold storage) is mainly based on the ice selling habits of the local market. Generally, the storage capacity of the designed ice storage warehouse is 2~3 of the production capacity of the ice maker Times.
3. The use of ice cubes and sales channels.
4. The type of ice you like. If it is a block of ice, consider the size of the ice and the weight of each block.
5. Local climate conditions: the highest ambient temperature, humidity and fluctuations (choose cooling type).
6. Local labor costs.
7. The initial temperature, pressure and purity of the water used for ice making.
8. The cost of water source (if not for food, consider using river water and groundwater).
9. The cost of a modified box delivery truck with a cooling device (for ice distribution).
10. Electricity information: Three-phase electric energy is required to meet the load used in the operation of the equipment, and whether there is a peak-to-valley power price.
11. Capital (interest) cost.
There are many ways to build an ordinary ice factory, but building an ice factory that is most suitable for the local market and has a more competitive ice factory is not a simple task. The mission of Bingquan Refrigeration is to provide investors with various types and sizes of ice-making factory solutions, so that the ice-making factory investors can use the least money to build a set of the most cost-effective and most profitable ice factory is our constant pursuit The goal.
