80 Ton Flake Ice Plant for Concrete Cooling – Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions
THE PROBLEM: CONCRETE FAILS IN HOT CLIMATES
In large-scale construction projects, especially in regions like the Middle East and Africa, ambient temperatures can exceed 40°C.
At these temperatures:
- Concrete sets too quickly
- Internal heat builds up
- Cracks form inside the structure
This leads to:
- Reduced strength
- Structural risks
- Expensive rework
THE SOLUTION: FIM80T FLAKE ICE PLANT
The FIM80T Flake Ice Plant is engineered to solve this exact problem.
With a capacity of 80 tons per day, it delivers flake ice directly into the concrete batching process, reducing the concrete temperature instantly and consistently.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS (SIMPLE EXPLANATION)?
Instead of using warm water in concrete:
- Flake ice is produced continuously
- Ice is stored in a fully automatic rake system
- Ice is transported via screw conveyor
- Ice is added directly into the mixer or aggregate belt
Result:
- Stable concrete temperature
- Controlled hydration
- Higher quality output
REAL USE CASE SCENARIO
Imagine a 120 m³/h concrete plant working in a desert climate.
Without cooling:
- Concrete temperature exceeds limits
- Pouring becomes risky
With FIM80T:
- 80 tons/day ice supports single or even double batching plants
- Temperature is kept under control
- Continuous production becomes possible
ENGINEERING STRENGTH BEHIND THE SYSTEM
- 400 HP compressor power
- 256.2 kW/h power consumption
- 2 × 40 ton ice drum evaporators
- Fully automatic PLC control system
This is not just a machine it’s a complete cooling system.
WHY FLAKE ICE INSTEAD OF CHILLED WATER?
- Faster cooling effect
- More efficient energy usage
- Direct integration into mix
- Better temperature control in mass concrete
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Designed for 90–120 m³/h batching plants
- Works with double plant systems
- Fully automatic operation
- Remote monitoring capability
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What is the purpose of an 80 ton ice plant?
To control concrete temperature in large-scale projects and prevent structural damage.
- Can one ice plant support multiple batching plants?
Yes, FIM80T can support double batching systems.
- Why is flake ice used in concrete?
Because it melts quickly and absorbs heat efficiently, ensuring better temperature control.
