Automated Ice Plants
There are some situations where cold water does
not meet all of the requirements of batch water chilling for concrete
processing. American Geothermal's automated ice plants have proven to be an
effective alternative to cold water.

American Geothermal Modular Ice Plant
| One of
the major advantages of the American Geothermal automated ice plant
is the fact that it is designed to be portable and can be shipped
anywhere and installed easily. The automated ice plant includes an
ice generating unit, insulated storage, an ice transporting system,
a weigh batcher, blower and all controls. The units are shipped
wired, charged with refrigerant, factory tested and adjusted and
ready to operate when connected to adequate water and electric
supplies. Only three installation steps are required once the unit
is set in place: connect to water; connect the condenser to a forced
draft cooling tower; connect the power supply to the prewired
control panel. |
American Geothermal's Ice System For Concrete Cooling |
|
The American Geothermal automated ice plant is simple to operate. No
adjustments are needed for changes in ambient and make up water
temperatures. One timer controls the entire ice making cycle,
automatically stops and starts the water pump, opens and closes
solenoid valves and starts and stops the conveyor for making and
delivering ice.
Hot gas type harvest eliminates capacity
robbing by sluggish oil accumulation in the evaporator which is
common with many competitive ice makers. During each harvest cycle
the hot gas blows out any oil deposited in the evaporator during the
freezing cycle. The ice generator design guarantees that ice making
capacity will be retained day after day, year after year for as long
as the ice generator is properly maintained.
We have designed systems that can produce up
to 43 tons of ice in a 24 hour period. If you need ice and you need
a system in a hurry, American Geothermal is ready to assist you.
