40 Ton Flake Ice Plant for Concrete Cooling – Smart Solution for Medium Scale Projects
THE PROBLEM: TEMPERATURE CONTROL BECOMES CRITICAL EVEN IN MEDIUM PROJECTS
In many regions, especially in hot climates, even medium-scale concrete plants struggle with temperature control.
When ambient temperature rises:
- Concrete heats up quickly
- Setting time becomes unpredictable
- Quality consistency is lost
Even in 60–90 m³/h batching plants, this becomes a serious issue.
THE SOLUTION: FIM40T FLAKE ICE PLANT
The FIM40T Flake Ice Plant is designed as an efficient and optimized solution for medium-capacity concrete operations.
- 40 tons/day ice production
- 1600 kg/hour continuous output
It provides reliable cooling without over-investing in oversized systems.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS?
The system integrates directly into your batching process:
- Ice is produced continuously in drum evaporators
- Stored in a fully automatic rake system
- Transferred via screw conveyor
- Delivered into mixer or aggregate system
Flake ice structure allows fast and efficient heat absorption, making it ideal for concrete cooling.
REAL USE CASE SCENARIO
Imagine a 75 m³/h concrete batching plant operating in a +35°C environment.
Without cooling:
- Concrete temperature exceeds limits
- Quality fluctuations occur
With FIM40T:
- Stable production cycle
- Consistent concrete temperature
- Reduced risk of rejection
ENGINEERING STRENGTH BEHIND THE SYSTEM
- 200 HP compressor
- 128.1 kW/h power consumption
- 1 unit 40 ton drum evaporators
- PLC controlled automation system
- 20 ton ice storage capacity
Containerized design:
- Delivered in standard 40HC container
- Easy installation and transport
WHY CHOOSE A 40 TON ICE PLANT?
Not every project needs 80 or 120 tons.
FIM40T is ideal when:
- You run a single batching plant
- You want controlled investment
- You need stable but not excessive capacity
This is the most balanced solution between cost and performance.
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Perfect for 60–90 m³/h plants
- Lower investment compared to larger systems
- Fully automatic operation
- Compact containerized design
- Fast installation
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What is a 40 ton flake ice plant used for?
To control concrete temperature in medium-scale construction projects.
- Is 40 ton capacity enough for a batching plant?
Yes, it is ideal for single batching plants in the 60–90 m³/h range.
- Why flake ice instead of water cooling?
Because flake ice absorbs heat faster and provides more stable temperature control.
