Cube Ice Machine - 80kg/day
Air-cooled cube ice machine producing 80 kg/day of clear ice for laboratory sample cooling and research facility applications.
| Automation Level | semi-automated |
The Cube Ice Machine delivers 80 kg of clear cube ice per day for laboratory sample cooling and general research facility applications. This air-cooled unit features stainless steel construction for laboratory environments requiring consistent ice supply. The clear cube format provides optimal surface contact and minimal dilution for sample preservation protocols.
Designed for continuous operation in research settings, this ice machine supports workflows requiring reliable temperature control for biological samples, reagent storage, and analytical procedures. The compact design integrates into existing laboratory infrastructure while maintaining production capacity sufficient for medium-scale research operations.
How It Works
The ice machine operates through a refrigeration cycle that freezes water into clear cube ice. Water enters the evaporator where refrigerant removes heat, forming ice on freezing surfaces. The air-cooled condenser dissipates heat from the refrigeration system using ambient air circulation.
Clear cube formation occurs through controlled freezing that minimizes air bubble incorporation, resulting in dense ice with optimal cooling properties. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and maintains sanitary conditions required for laboratory applications.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Production Capacity | 80 kg/day clear cube ice | Entry-level models often produce 20-40 kg/day | Higher capacity reduces refilling frequency and supports multiple simultaneous laboratory protocols |
| Cooling Method | Air-cooled condenser system | Some models require water cooling connections | Simplified installation without additional water cooling infrastructure requirements |
| Construction Material | Stainless steel construction | Basic models may use plastic components | Enhanced durability and sanitary operation required for laboratory environments |
| Ice Type | Clear cube ice format | Some units produce flake or nugget ice | Cube ice provides optimal surface contact and slower melting for precise temperature control |
This ice machine combines 80 kg/day production capacity with air-cooled operation and stainless steel construction. The clear cube format and laboratory-grade materials support consistent temperature control requirements in research environments.
Practical Tips
Clean water system weekly with approved sanitizing solution and rinse thoroughly before resuming production.
Why: Regular sanitization prevents bacterial growth and maintains ice quality for laboratory applications.
Allow adequate ventilation clearance around air-cooled condenser for optimal heat dissipation.
Why: Proper airflow maintains cooling efficiency and prevents production capacity reduction.
Monitor 24-hour production cycles monthly to verify 80 kg/day output capacity.
Why: Production monitoring identifies potential performance issues before they affect laboratory operations.
Discard first ice batch after cleaning cycles or extended shutdown periods.
Why: Initial production may contain cleaning residues that could affect sample integrity.
Check water supply pressure and filter condition if ice production decreases.
Why: Insufficient water flow or contaminated filters directly impact production capacity and ice quality.
Use proper lifting techniques when handling ice bins and ensure electrical connections remain dry.
Why: Water and electrical equipment require careful handling to prevent injury and equipment damage.
