The Mobile Ice Plant is a self-contained, trailer-mounted,
high volume ice production facility designed to meet the needs
of humanitarian relief efforts or military operations in extreme
environments.
- Produces 20 tons of bagged ice per day
- Completely self-contained: requires only fuel and water to
operate
- Capable of
producing ice within 45 minutes of arrival
- Evaporative condensing system ensures consistent operation
in high heat
- Simple to operate with automated system management and on-board
diagnostics

Producing fresh ice on site in a domestic disaster area
or scorching desert operating base is a valuable capability
by itself, but distributing loose bulk ice presents a daunting
logistical challenge. The mobile ice plant eliminates
this problem with a fully automated conveying and bagging
system which seals fresh ice as it is made in volume-controlled
bags for rapid, easy, and sanitary distribution.

Description
The refrigeration system is
made up of a compressor, evaporative condenser, high pressure
receiver, evaporator plate compartment, and a recirculator.
Anhydrous ammonia is used as a refrigerant and is circulated
through the system components to produce the ice. Ice is
produced in a two-cycle process.
The first cycle involves
forming the ice onto vertical plates located in the evaporator
compartment. After a preset time the system switches to
the harvest cycle and the ice is removed from the plates
and sent to the bagger.
These cycles are controlled by
a state-of-the-art computer control system that not only
runs the ice making and harvest cycles but also monitors
and controls all aspects of the refrigeration system.
