The client is a fast-growing beverage and food distributor seeking to establish a large-scale commercial ice production facility to supply packaged ice for supermarkets, restaurants, and beverage chains.
As demand for hygienic edible ice continued to increase, the customer planned a fully automated ice factory capable of supporting large-volume production and consistent product supply. The project required more than an individual ice-making machine. The customer needed an integrated solution covering tube ice production, automatic packing, and ice storage.
The planned facility therefore focused on reliable daily production, efficient packaging, hygienic ice handling, and sufficient storage capacity to support the customer's commercial distribution requirements.
For this large-scale commercial ice production project, the customer identified several key requirements:
Stable production of 100 tons of tube ice per day.
Food-grade ice production standards for packaged edible ice.
Automatic packing to reduce labor dependency and improve packaging efficiency.
Integrated cold storage for ice preservation before distribution.
A reliable system suitable for continuous commercial operation.
These requirements called for a coordinated 100 ton per day tube ice plant rather than a standalone ice machine. Production, packaging, refrigeration, and storage needed to work together as part of the overall plant configuration.
Based on the customer's production and distribution requirements, DAXTRO provided a turnkey tube ice plant solution integrating ice production, automatic packaging, and cold storage into one centralized system.
The 100TPD capacity was selected to support the customer's large-scale commercial ice production requirements. The tube ice production system provides a continuous source of ice, while the automatic packing system helps streamline the transition from ice production to packaged product distribution.
An integrated ice storage cold room was also included to provide storage capacity for finished ice before it is delivered to supermarkets, restaurants, beverage chains, and other commercial customers.
This integrated approach allows the customer to manage ice production and downstream handling as one coordinated process instead of operating separate production and packaging stages.
To support the complete project, DAXTRO supplied the following equipment and services:
100TPD Tube Ice Machine System
Fully Automatic Ice Packing Machine
Ice Storage Cold Room
Refrigeration System Design
Installation Guidance & Commissioning
Operator Training & Technical Support
By combining these components and services, DAXTRO provided a complete project solution from system design through commissioning and operator support.
Large-scale packaged ice businesses require stable production and efficient downstream handling. A 100TPD tube ice plant is designed for customers with substantial daily ice demand rather than small-scale commercial applications.
A production capacity of 100 tons per 24 hours provides a substantial supply of tube ice for commercial distribution. This is suitable for businesses serving multiple customers or distribution channels that require a consistent daily supply of packaged ice.
Automatic ice packing helps reduce manual handling during the packaging process. For a large-volume ice production facility, automation can improve production consistency while reducing dependence on manual labor.
Finished ice may need to remain in storage before transportation or distribution. An ice storage cold room provides a dedicated environment for preserving packaged or finished ice and helps the plant manage production and delivery schedules more efficiently.
Commercial ice suppliers need equipment capable of supporting regular production rather than occasional use. The project was therefore designed around stable operation and continuous ice production to meet the customer's commercial supply requirements.
Automatic packaging is an important part of a modern packaged ice production facility. When a plant produces up to 100 tons of tube ice per day, manual packaging can create additional labor requirements and limit overall handling efficiency.
The automatic ice packing machine supplied for this project helps connect ice production with the packaging stage. Automation reduces manual intervention and provides a more consistent packaging process for commercial ice distribution.
For distributors supplying supermarkets, restaurants, and beverage chains, efficient packaging is important because the finished ice needs to move from production to storage and then into the distribution network in an organized manner.
Ice production capacity is only one part of a large-scale commercial ice plant. Storage is also important when production and delivery schedules do not occur at exactly the same time.
The integrated ice storage cold room provides dedicated storage for the finished ice produced by the plant. This gives the customer greater flexibility when managing production, inventory, and distribution requirements.
For businesses supplying multiple supermarkets, restaurants, or beverage chains, appropriate ice storage can help maintain a more consistent supply schedule and support higher-volume distribution.
The project combines several stages into one coordinated commercial ice production process:
The tube ice machine produces tube ice according to the required daily production capacity. The plant is designed around a target output of 100 tons per 24 hours.
After production, the ice moves into the packaging stage. The automatic ice packing system reduces manual intervention and supports efficient handling for packaged ice production.
Finished ice can then be transferred to the ice storage cold room before distribution. This provides the customer with a dedicated storage solution for managing packaged ice inventory.
The stored packaged ice can be supplied to supermarkets, restaurants, beverage chains, and other commercial customers according to the distributor's delivery schedule.
The 100TPD tube ice plant achieved stable operation shortly after commissioning, providing the customer with a reliable large-scale ice production solution.
The integrated production and automatic packaging system significantly improved production efficiency while reducing labor dependency. The addition of dedicated cold storage also gave the customer greater flexibility in managing finished ice before distribution.
The client reported increased market share and consistent ice quality meeting food industry standards. The completed plant now provides the production capacity and supporting infrastructure required for the customer's expanding packaged ice business.
Large-scale ice production projects require coordination between ice-making capacity, packaging, refrigeration, storage, installation, and daily operation. DAXTRO focuses on providing integrated solutions rather than supplying isolated equipment only.
For customers planning a 100 ton tube ice plant, DAXTRO can support the project with system design, equipment supply, installation guidance, commissioning, operator training, and technical support.
If you are planning a packaged edible ice production facility, you can also explore our Tube Ice Machine range to learn more about available ice production solutions.
Cold storage allows finished ice to be preserved before distribution. It can help commercial ice producers manage inventory and coordinate production with delivery schedules, particularly when supplying multiple customers.
Yes. DAXTRO can provide an integrated project solution covering tube ice production equipment, automatic ice packing, cold storage, refrigeration system design, installation guidance, commissioning, operator training, and technical support.
Project planning should consider the required daily ice production, ice application, packaging requirements, storage demand, installation conditions, power supply, operating environment, and distribution requirements. These factors help determine the appropriate plant configuration.
