CBFI 20-Ton Flake Ice Machine Solution for Hydropower Station Concrete Cooling

Project Overview:

CBFI (Guangzhou Ice Spring Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd.) provided a comprehensive intelligent ice delivery and storage system to a large-scale hydropower station project. This system effectively controlled the temperature during the massive concrete pouring process, greatly reducing the risk of thermal cracking due to temperature-induced stresses. The result is a significant improvement in the durability and safety of the concrete structure, ensuring long-term stability for the hydropower station.

The ice solution provided by CBFI included a 20-ton/day flake ice machine that is efficient and stable, capable of continuously producing large amounts of high-quality flake ice. This system met the substantial cooling needs of large-scale concrete pouring operations. In addition, CBFI designed and constructed an intelligent ice rake system, screw conveyor ice delivery system, intelligent weighing system, and a monitoring system. The systems allow for full automation in monitoring and controlling the production and delivery process. Ice is quickly and efficiently delivered to each pouring point, providing solid support for the safety and quality of the hydropower station’s construction.

Core Configuration:

• Type: Flake Ice Machine + Rake System
• Capacity: 20 tons/24 hours
• Supporting Equipment: Intelligent Ice Rake System, Screw Conveyor Ice Delivery System, Intelligent Weighing System, Monitoring System

System Features:

The 20-ton/day flake ice machine is the core of the system, designed to meet the high cooling demands of the concrete mixing and pouring process. Flake ice, with its high surface area and excellent thermal exchange capabilities, is ideal for reducing the temperature of the concrete during the pouring process, preventing heat cracks from forming in the structure. This solution is a perfect example of how industrial ice equipment can contribute to large-scale infrastructure projects.

Container Installation and Appearance

The flake ice machine system is housed in a well-designed container, ensuring that it is protected from external elements while allowing for easy transportation and installation at the construction site.

Screw Conveyor Ice Delivery System

The screw conveyor system ensures that the ice is delivered to various points efficiently, even in the most challenging environments. This automated system reduces labor requirements and ensures consistent performance.

Water Tower Installation

The water tower system works in conjunction with the ice storage system to maintain a steady flow of water for ice production, ensuring the system’s efficiency throughout the hydropower station's construction process.

Weighing Hopper

The intelligent weighing hopper system automatically tracks and measures the amount of ice produced, ensuring that the exact amount of ice is delivered to each section of the construction site. This system helps to prevent overproduction or shortages, making the ice supply process more efficient and accurate.

Ice Storage System

The rake ice storage system automatically organizes and stores the ice in a controlled manner, ensuring that the ice remains in good condition and ready for use at any time. The integration of this system enhances operational efficiency, reduces waste, and provides a reliable ice supply for the entire project.

Control Room

The control room houses the central monitoring and control systems for the ice production and delivery process. Operators can remotely monitor the system’s performance and make adjustments as needed, ensuring smooth operations throughout the concrete pouring phase.

Conclusion:

The use of CBFI's 20-ton flake ice machine, along with its intelligent supporting systems, has provided a reliable and efficient solution for concrete cooling at the hydropower station. This comprehensive system has not only ensured the safety and quality of the concrete structure but also optimized the cooling process, reducing labor costs and improving operational efficiency. The project’s success is a testament to the importance of high-quality ice equipment in large-scale infrastructure projects.
