Concrete Cooling

ICESTA delivers a high-performance, fully automated "Containerized Plate Ice Production, Storage, and Delivery Integrated System" for a major concrete cooling project in the Philippines. The solution's core comprises containerized plate ice makers with a total daily output of 60 tons, a 100-ton intelligent automated ice storage silo, and efficient ice-water preparation units. It is specifically engineered to address the severe temperature control challenges of mass concrete construction in tropical climates. All core modules feature a pre-integrated containerized design, enabling rapid deployment and plug-and-play operation, which significantly shortens the on-site preparation timeline. Governed by a central intelligent control system, it seamlessly integrates the entire process from ice making, storage, and weighing to delivery. This ensures a stable and massive ice supply while achieving full automation and precise management, remarkably reducing labor and operational costs. This project not only demonstrates ICESTA's robust capability in providing customized "turnkey" solutions for complex industrial applications but also represents another successful implementation of its global expertise, offering solid assurance for the project's quality, schedule, and cost control.

The temperature of ready-mixed concrete needs to be controlled for large-scale dams construction and continuous pouring of concrete applications. With the release of heat of hydration during concrete curing, the internal strength of concrete gradually increases.ICESTA containerized ice making plant is designed mainly for concrete cooling projects. It is also applicable for cooling purposes in large scale chemical plants, harbors and artificial sking resorts.This is not important for small concrete structures, but it is of special significance for dam projects that require a large amount of concrete to be poured. During curing, the heat of hydration increases the temperature of the concrete by 25°C, causing the volume of the concrete to increase. After curing, the temperature of the concrete decreases and the volume decreases. This process usually causes cracks in the dam. Therefore, the initial pouring temperature of concrete should be controlled according to different concrete signs to control the corresponding concrete exit temperature to ensure that the maximum temperature of the concrete during curing cannot exceed the limit temperature of the design unit.
