A Flexible Product Range from Compact Ice Makers to High-Capacity Ice-Freezing Cabinets

As demand for cold drinks, food preservation and reliable ice supply continues to grow, solar-powered ice-making equipment is becoming increasingly useful in locations where conventional electricity is expensive, unstable or unavailable.

Our latest solar ice-making product range combines compact automatic ice makers with dedicated freezing and ice-storage cabinets. With support for DC12V, DC24V and 220V power options, these products can be integrated into properly configured solar-energy systems while also adapting to conventional electricity when required.

The current range includes the compact IM-10, the higher-output IM-30B, the BD-88 freezing cabinet, and the BD-198 series, available in BD-198-7, BD-198-10 and BD-198-11 configurations.

Together, these models provide practical options for homes, cafés, beverage shops, farms, fishing communities, outdoor businesses, rural stores and renewable-energy projects.


Why Solar Ice Making Is Becoming More Important

Ice is essential in many everyday and commercial activities. It is used for:

Cold beverages

Food and seafood preservation

Restaurants and cafés

Outdoor retail

Farms and fisheries

Hotels and small shops

Rural and remote businesses

Temporary events and mobile operations

In areas with strong sunlight but limited electrical infrastructure, solar-powered equipment can provide a more flexible way to produce and store ice.

A typical solar ice-making system may include:

Solar Panels → Charge Controller → Battery Storage → Ice Maker or Freezing Cabinet

The exact solar-panel and battery configuration should be selected according to the model, daily operating hours, local climate and required ice output.
