The small direct cooled air-cooled semi-automatic block ice machine with a daily output of 1-5 tons is currently the most widely used block ice machine category in the domestic market. At the same time, there are also high-frequency commonly used models in different segmented scenarios. The specific situation is as follows:
1、 The most commonly used models in the entire market
Core category: Nissan 1-5 ton small direct cooled air-cooled semi-automatic block ice machine, occupying nearly 60% of the domestic block ice machine market circulation share.
Core advantages: No need for supporting saltwater tanks or cooling towers, extremely low installation threshold, can be operated with electricity and water supply in ordinary venues, low maintenance difficulty, and small businesses can quickly get started.
Adaptation scenario: Perfectly covering the daily ice needs of the vast majority of domestic seafood stores, fresh markets, and small food processing plants, it is the preferred model for small and medium-sized users.
Cost advantage: The procurement cost is only tens of thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, far lower than large industrial models, with low energy consumption for long-term operation, short payback period, and a huge market share.
2、 Segmented scene high-frequency commonly used models
Medium sized commercial scenario: Nissan 10-30 ton direct cooling water fully automatic block ice machine
It is the most commonly used model for medium-sized cold chain logistics and aquatic processing plants, with stable production capacity, supporting 24-hour continuous operation, and a usage rate of over 70% in commercial scenarios.
Large scale engineering scenario: saltwater large-scale block ice machine with a daily output of over 50 tons
The most commonly used model for bridge engineering concrete cooling and large-scale port aquatic preservation scenes, with low procurement costs, can operate at high loads for a long time, and is suitable for large-scale centralized ice demand.
Food processing scenario: food grade 304 stainless steel direct cooling block ice machine
The most commonly used model for beverage processing and direct preservation of fresh food, producing ice cubes that meet food hygiene standards and pose no risk of impurity contamination, with a high usage rate in the food industry.
3、 The core reason for high usage rate
Adapting to mainstream demand: The daily ice consumption of the vast majority of domestic block ice machine users is concentrated in the range of 1-5 tons, and this type of model fully matches the mainstream ice consumption scale.
Mature supply chain: Top domestic ice maker manufacturers consider this type of model as their core product category, with sufficient spot resources, universal accessories, and extremely low maintenance costs in the later stage.
Low operational threshold: No need for professional operation and maintenance personnel, ordinary workers can operate with simple training, suitable for the personnel configuration of the vast majority of small and medium-sized production scenarios in China.
