As we known, summer is the peak season for edible ice sales,compared to winter, overall edible ice sales can surge by 200%. Therefore, the demand for industrial ice machines such as catering, beverages, and cold chain will continue to rise during the summer. However, it is worth noting that although people say October is the winter break, but in the ice machine industry, this period is known as the "golden preparation period"! Why? Because the process from the input of the ice making equipment to the output of ice cubes is a very long cycle. For example, it usually takes 3 to 4 months from equipment procurement, production, installation, transportation, debugging to stable mass production. So companies should purchase in advance in October to seize the peak sales season of the next summer.

Due to different usage scenarios, application industries, etc., industrial ice machines usually require customization. Customized services mainly include capacity matching, ice types, different configurations, etc. Even standard models require the purchase of corresponding components. So sometimes the production of ice machines may take a longer time.
1.In winter, the overall demand for ice makers will be relatively low, ice machine suppliers can focus on completing equipment installation, debugging, trial production, and training employees.
2. It can avoid the logistics peak at the end of the year and the Christmas freight rush in November, and can complete the production, installation and commissioning of equipment before the Chinese Spring Festival factory holidays in the middle and late January.
3.Purchasing ice machines in October can avoid the peak transportation period, reduce transportation costs in multiple ways, ensure timely delivery. Once the temperature rises, the ice making factory can immediately start production.
Purchasing earlier can better capture the market and seize business opportunities. We suggest that ice factories launch promotional activities in late spring for businesses preparing ice, offering more favorable prices and signing long-term contracts with them to gain overall initiative. For example, a beverage company ordered multiple industrial ice makers in October 2023, completed installation and commissioning ahead of schedule in December, and immediately began trial production in January of the following year.
Therefore, during the summer peak in May, due to sufficient ice reserves, the company's market share increased significantly, beverage sales have increased by up to 40% compared to previous years; However, its competitors only started stocking up in March and did not meet production demand until July, resulting in a time lag that caused them to lose over 15% of market share.

Icemedal's industrial ice machine has always been committed to innovation and development, with over ten invention patents and utility model patents related to ice making and refrigeration. It has formed a research and development design team composed of engineers in refrigeration systems, thermodynamics, mechanical design, electrical engineering, control engineering and other fields. The ice machine produced uses imported high-quality compressors and electronic expansion valves, adopts hot fluorine defrosting technology to dynamically adjust the cooling output. The integrated design of evaporator and ice mold has been developed, which can achieve energy savings of 10% -20%. Not only that, our industrial ice machine supports intelligent PLC control, enabling real-time monitoring and debugging of equipment information such as output, process, energy consumption and fault codes by operators, achieving fully automated management and saving labor costs.
