Ice Block Maker Machine With R507/R404a Refrigerant For High-Performance Ice Production

Block ice machines are widely used in many industries, such as fishing, food processing, and construction, to produce large quantities of solid ice for various purposes, such as cooling, freezing, and storage. One of the key components of a block ice machine is the refrigeration system, which provides the cooling capacity to freeze the water into ice blocks. Among the different types of refrigerants available, R507 and R404A are commonly used in block ice machines due to their favorable properties and performance.

First, let's briefly introduce R507 and R404A refrigerants. R507 is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant that has been widely used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems for many years. However, due to its potential adverse impact on the ozone layer, R507 has been phased out in many countries and replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives. R404A is a blend of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants that has a low ozone depletion potential and a high global warming potential. It is commonly used in commercial refrigeration applications that require high cooling capacity and low temperature, such as ice making and cold storage.

Advantages:

1. High cooling capacity: R507/R404A refrigerant has a high latent heat of vaporization, which means it can absorb a large amount of heat when it evaporates from liquid to gas. This makes it a very efficient refrigerant for removing heat from the water and freezing it into solid ice. With a properly designed refrigeration system, R507/R404A refrigerant can achieve a low temperature and a high cooling rate, which results in faster ice making and higher productivity.

2. Wide temperature range: R507/R404A refrigerant can operate at a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to 15°C, depending on the pressure and flow rate. This flexibility allows block ice machines to produce ice in different sizes, shapes, and densities, depending on the application requirements. For example, ice blocks for fishing vessels may need to be larger and denser to resist melting during transportation, while ice blocks for food processing may need to be smaller and softer to facilitate handling and melting.

3. Stable performance: R507/R404A refrigerant is known for its stable thermodynamic and chemical properties, which means it can maintain its cooling capacity and efficiency over time without significant degradation or contamination. This is important for block ice machines that operate continuously or intermittently for long periods, as any loss or variation of cooling capacity can affect the quality and quantity of ice produced. By using R507/R404A refrigerant in a well-maintained block ice machine, users can expect consistent and reliable performance over many years.

4. Compatible with existing systems: R507/R404A refrigerant is compatible with many existing block ice machine designs and components, such as compressors, condensers, evaporators, and piping, which can reduce the cost and complexity of retrofitting or replacing refrigeration systems. In addition, R507/R404A refrigerant can be easily sourced from many suppliers worldwide, which ensures a stable and affordable supply of refrigerant for maintenance and operation.

5. Envionmentally friendly: R404A refrigerant has zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and a GWP (Global Warming Potential) that is reduced by around 45% compared to R507 refrigerant. By using R404A, the carbon footprint of a block ice machine can be significantly reduced, thereby contributing to the protection of the environment.

CBFI Quality Management Department

CBFI Quality Management Department is an important control method for processing quality. It equipped with the most advanced inspection equipments The professional control devices,it can provide accurate reference data to choose the most suitable material and accessories, which also effectively control parts quality. Besides, it also provides digital information for engineers and quality controller to determine feasibility for spare parts after processing.

This is the working processing of quality control.

Chooing steady quality supplier. After purchasing raw material, duing testing if it is proved well, then we will arrange these eligible matrial that come into warehouse.

When the machine finish fixing and come into testing working conditon. Every worker will be responsible for their equipment. They will give out fact testing date and results.After proving testing date is accord with delivery standard. Then CBFI Quality Management Department will allow these equipment that go to packing department and waiting for cleaning and packing.

Before delivery, CBFI Quality Management Department should check all mark and packing conditon. If it is prove it is accord with exporting standard and customer's requirement. Then they will allow these equipment come into fininshed product area.

Of course CBFI Quality Management Department have the right to make sample testing for every production step to make sure product quality.

CBFI means Customer Benefits From Icesource. We will take care of product quality.
