Integrated Tube Ice Machine: A New Choice for Edible Ice in Southeast Asia

Integrated Tube Ice Machine: Efficient Ice Making for the Philippines Markets

In the field of industrial equipment, every accurate choice is related to the success or failure of the project and the development of the market. Recently, a customer who has been deeply involved in the Philippines market contacted us. His story vividly demonstrated the importance of scientific decision-making in the process of industrial equipment selection, as well as the outstanding advantages of the integrated tube ice machine in specific scenarios.

With a keen sense of the market, the customer discovered that there was a huge gap in the local edible ice market - the consumption of ice tubes in chilled cold drinks and alcoholic beverages even exceeded that of the drinks themselves, which revealed that edible ice is a "rigid demand" in the local area. Based on this, the customer planned to introduce two tube ice machines to expand the ice-making business. In the equipment selection process, how to balance professionalism and operational convenience became a key decision point.

Once a customer has chosen a tube ice machine as their production equipment,and the next key is how to choose the type of tube ice machine that best suits their needs. From a structural perspective, tube ice machines are mainly divided into two types: split type and integrated type. In the split tube ice machine, the ice evaporator barrel and the refrigeration unit are independent of each other; while the integrated tube ice machine combines the ice evaporator barrel and the refrigeration unit in one frame. The two structures seem to have simple differences, but in fact, there are significant differences in performance, installation, transportation and other aspects. Combined with the actual operation scenario of the customer, the technical advantages of the integrated machine can better match its needs.

For customers who lack ice making experience, the pursuit of simple and efficient production processes is undoubtedly the top priority in the production management and operation process. Based on this key demand, we recommended the integrated tube ice machine to the customer. Why can the integrated tube ice machine stand out among many choices? This is due to its many significant advantages, which are highly consistent with the actual situation of customers.

Efficient installation and commissioning to speed up project landing

In the process of project promotion, time is money. Before the integrated tube ice machine leaves the factory, the refrigeration pipes, power supply and control system lines have been installed and debugged. When the equipment arrives at the site, there is no need to perform tedious refrigeration pipe welding, line connection and other complex work. Compared with the split tube ice machine, this feature greatly shortens the time cycle of project installation and commissioning, allowing the equipment to be put into fast production , providing a strong guarantee for the rapid delivery of the project. For customers, this means being able to seize market opportunities faster and achieve profit goals.

Lightweight transportation, reducing logistics costs

Transportation cost is one of the important factors that companies must consider when purchasing equipment. Especially for long-distance sea transportation, freight often accounts for a considerable proportion. Due to its compact structural design, the integrated tube ice machine is smaller in size and weight than the split tube ice machine. This advantage enables it to significantly reduce transportation costs during transportation, whether it is sea or land transportation, it can save companies a considerable amount of expenses. For customers' projects in Southeast Asia, reducing transportation costs will undoubtedly improve the overall profitability of the project and enhance market competitiveness.

Flexible relocation to adapt to capacity upgrades

In commercial operations, market demand is constantly changing, and the production capacity of enterprises also needs to be adjusted accordingly. Considering that customers may face production capacity increase, expansion and factory relocation in the future, the integrated tube ice machine shows extremely high flexibility in the process of disassembly, packaging, transportation and reinstallation and commissioning. It can save a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, allowing enterprises to respond quickly to market changes and easily achieve production capacity upgrades and factory relocation. This flexibility provides more possibilities for the development of enterprises.

Of course, the choice of integrated tube ice machine is not blindly following the trend, but needs to be analyzed and comprehensively considered in combination with the actual situation. Each project has its own unique needs and challenges. Only by deeply understanding the specific needs of customers and combining the performance characteristics of the equipment can the most reasonable decision be made.
