Icemedal 5 Tons Air Cooling Saltwater Ice Machine Helps Tanzania Coastal Fisheries Development

How Saltwater Ice Machines Support Tanzania’s Coastal Fishing Communities

Tanzania is located along the coast of the Indian Ocean, The fishing is the core source of livelihood for the region. Seafood preservation and cold chain protection are key issues for the development of the fishing industry. When the national fisheries department launched the government's public seafood market project, it was deeply mired in this dilemma - the project is located along the coast and needs to serve hundreds of vendors, but it faces multiple environmental and operational challenges.

The core pain points focus on three aspects: firstly, the scarcity of freshwater along the coast, the inability of traditional freshwater ice machine to operate continuously; Secondly, high salt air and seawater are prone to corrode ice making equipment, so requiring high corrosion resistance of ice making machine materials; Thirdly, the local temperature often exceeds 35 ℃, and it is necessary to ensure stable ice production and ice quality under extreme high temperatures. At the same time, as a government procurement project, the equipment needs to supply 5 tons of ice flakes per day, comply with international food safety standards and have low maintainability due to its remote location and limited technical support.

In response to these requirements, Icemedal Refrigeration customizes a 5-ton air-cooled seawater ice making solution for customers:  

1. Seawater adaptation design: The core components (evaporator, pipeline, etc.) are made of 316 stainless steel, which is resistant to high salt corrosion and suitable for harsh coastal environments, without relying on fresh water.

2. Air cooling efficient operation: Adopting an air cooling condensation system, it eliminates the need for cooling towers and complex water pipes, saving fresh water resources and reducing installation costs. The maintenance process is greatly simplified, making it suitable for remote areas.

3. Stable mass production of high-quality ice: It can produce 5 tons of flake ice per day and supply thin dry flake ice continuously 24 hours a day. It can quickly cool seafood, reduce spoilage, meet the large-scale preservation needs of the market and the ice quality meets international food safety standards.

4. Industrial grade durability: Equipped with wear-resistant components and intelligent control panels, it can operate continuously 24/7, adapt to the high-frequency usage needs of the public market and minimize the frequency of failures and maintenance.

For coastal fisheries, public markets and government projects facing challenges such as scarce freshwater resources, highly corrosive environments and extreme high temperatures, Icemed Refrigeration always puts customer needs at the core and provides customized industrial ice making solutions. The Tanzania Public Seafood Market project is a typical case of our tailored services, injecting momentum into the local fisheries development through our core products.
