From Startup To Expansion: The Ideal Choice for The Edible Ice Industry

Whether it's summer refreshing drinks or seafood preservation, edible ice has already permeated into various aspects of our daily lives, including but not limited to catering, retail and other scenarios. It has gradually become a favored consumer choice in our daily lives. Compared to the previous supply of scattered ice, edible ice factories that have developed in response to market demand are gradually moving towards large-scale and standardized production.

Edible ice can be divided into two core categories: cube ice and tube ice, which can adapt to different scene needs. Ice tubes are characterized by their hollow tubular appearance with transparency of over 90%, minimal bubbles and impurities,slow melting. Therefore, it is very suitable for various scenarios such as food processing,it is generally common in Southeast Asia, Central and South America. However, cube ice has a hard appearance and is not easy to clump, which can preserve the flavor of the drink to the greatest extent. In Europe and the Middle East, many cafe, restaurants will choose it first.

We can provide different solutions for ice factory of different scales. Start up ice factories or community ice stations can be equipped with semi-automatic packaging solutions, using weighing and sealing equipment combined with small carts for transportation. Production and distribution can be completed with minimal manual involvement, and the initial investment is low. Therefore, this plan is more suitable for daily production demands of 2-5 tons. And large-scale operation scenarios such as chain brands and large supermarket centers are suitable for fully automated production lines, with intelligent control throughout the entire process from water purification, ice making to packaging and storage, supporting production capacities of over 10 tons or even 100 tons, which can greatly improve operational efficiency.

In fact, multiple project cases have confirmed the potential of the edible ice market and the reliability of the solutions. In China, many well-known chain retail convenience stores and even leading enterprises in the bottled water field use Icemed's automated edible ice production lines in their supporting ice factories. From water purification to ice making, packaging and distribution, the one-stop ice factory solution meets all the ice needs of thousands of stores under these brands. With stable high-quality ice and efficient supply capacity, it has become an important support for many brand service upgrades. In overseas markets, Icemedal has successfully achieved large-scale production of 100 ton tube ice factories, 60 ton customized tube ice production lines and 30 ton ice cup production lines for customers in the Philippines, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and other countries,has received widespread recognition and praise from customers.

Nowadays, the edible ice market is entering a golden period of large-scale development, and whether it is start-ups entering the market or old established enterprises expanding, it is an excellent opportunity.
