🦐 Flake Ice Machines for Ecuador's Shrimp Farming Industry

Ecuador is internationally recognised for its large shrimp farming and seafood export industry.

Commercial shrimp farms and processing facilities require effective temperature control to help maintain product quality during harvesting, handling, processing and transportation.

Flake ice is particularly suitable for shrimp handling because its thin flakes provide a large cooling contact area and can be distributed easily around seafood products.

Our industrial flake ice machines can support:

  • Commercial shrimp farms
  • Shrimp harvesting operations
  • Shrimp processing factories
  • Shrimp packing facilities
  • Seafood export businesses
  • Cold-chain logistics
  • Seafood receiving and sorting
  • Industrial seafood handling
  • Food processing factories
  • Commercial ice production facilities

For shrimp processing businesses requiring larger quantities of ice, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 ton/day machines may be considered depending on daily production volumes.

Producing ice on-site can help reduce dependence on external ice suppliers and provide greater control over daily ice availability.


🐟 Commercial Fishing & Seafood Processing in Ecuador

Ecuador's Pacific coastline supports commercial fishing, industrial seafood processing and seafood export operations.

Major fishing and seafood industries include:

  • Tuna fishing and processing
  • Shrimp farming and processing
  • Mahi-mahi fishing
  • Commercial pelagic fishing
  • Fresh fish handling
  • Seafood packing and distribution
  • Fishing vessel operations
  • Seafood export businesses

Flake ice can help maintain low product temperatures during handling and transportation.

Typical applications include:

  • Fresh fish packing
  • Tuna handling
  • Mahi-mahi processing
  • Shrimp cooling
  • Dockside fish handling
  • Seafood receiving
  • Fish markets
  • Seafood wholesale
  • Seafood processing factories
  • Commercial fishing vessels

Important: Ice used in direct contact with seafood should be produced using water that meets applicable food-safety requirements.


🎣 Tuna Processing & Industrial Fishing Applications

Ecuador has a major tuna processing industry, particularly around Manta and other Pacific coastal locations.

Commercial tuna operations require reliable cooling during fish handling, receiving, processing and packing.

Flake ice machines can be used for suitable applications involving:

  • Tuna receiving facilities
  • Fresh tuna handling
  • Seafood sorting
  • Tuna processing operations
  • Commercial fishing vessels
  • Dockside seafood handling
  • Seafood transportation
  • Fish processing factories

For larger industrial facilities, 10–30 ton/day machines may be considered depending on the actual ice requirements.

The appropriate capacity should be calculated according to the daily quantity of seafood handled, incoming product temperature, required cooling time and available ice storage.


🧊 Available Flake Ice Machine Capacities

Freezing Valley supplies commercial and industrial flake ice machines in different production capacities.

Capacity Typical Application
1 Ton/Day Fish markets, restaurants and smaller seafood businesses

Machine capacity should be selected according to:

  • Daily seafood production
  • Required ice-to-product ratio
  • Maximum daily ice consumption
  • Operating hours
  • Ambient temperature
  • Water temperature
  • Ice storage requirements
  • Installation conditions

For larger industrial operations, multiple machines may also be considered where redundancy or additional production flexibility is required.


⚙️ Technical Features

Typical machine configuration options include:

  • 🧊 Ice Production: 1–30 tons per 24 hours
  • 🌡️ Ice Thickness: Approximately 1.5–2.5 mm
  • ⚙️ Compressor: BITZER, Copeland or other options
  • ❄️ Refrigerant: R404A / R507A or other project-specific options
  • 💧 Water Pump: Niudun or equivalent
  • 🔌 Electrical Supply: Customized for Ecuador's voltage, phase and frequency
  • 🌬️ Cooling: Air-cooled or water-cooled configurations
  • 🏭 Applications: Commercial and industrial ice production

Final technical specifications depend on machine capacity, operating conditions and the selected configuration.

Actual ice production may vary according to ambient temperature, incoming water temperature and other operating conditions.


🏆 Main Refrigeration Components

Depending on the selected machine configuration, our industrial flake ice systems can use:

  • Compressor: BITZER
  • Expansion Valve: Danfoss
  • Solenoid Valve: Castel or equivalent
  • Filter Drier: Castel or equivalent
  • Motor & Gearbox: Leili or equivalent
  • Bearings: NSK or equivalent

  • Design suitable for continuous commercial and industrial operation

The evaporator and refrigeration system are matched according to the required daily ice production.

Stainless steel construction can be particularly beneficial for shrimp and seafood processing environments where hygiene, cleaning and corrosion resistance are important.


☀️ Designed for Ecuador's Tropical Coastal Climate

Many of Ecuador's major seafood processing locations are situated along the Pacific coast, where warm temperatures, humidity and salt-air exposure can affect refrigeration equipment.

These conditions should be considered when selecting a commercial or industrial flake ice machine.

For projects in Guayaquil, Manta, Machala, Puerto Bolívar, Esmeraldas, Posorja and other coastal locations, please provide:

  • Maximum ambient temperature
  • Indoor or outdoor installation
  • Required daily ice production
  • Available ventilation
  • Electrical supply
  • Incoming water temperature
  • Water availability and quality
  • Daily operating hours
  • Ice storage requirements

For high-ambient installations, the condenser and refrigeration system should be selected according to actual site conditions.

Coastal installations may also require additional consideration of salt-air corrosion and protective coatings.


🚢 Fishing Vessel & Industrial Trawler Flake Ice Machines

Flake ice systems can also be configured for suitable commercial fishing vessels and industrial trawlers.

Onboard ice production can help provide fresh ice during fishing operations without relying entirely on shore-based ice supplies.

This may be useful for suitable vessels operating along Ecuador's Pacific coastline.

Potential applications include:

  • Commercial fishing vessels
  • Tuna fishing operations
  • Mahi-mahi fishing
  • Coastal fishing boats
  • Industrial trawlers
  • Seafood handling vessels

For vessel projects, please provide:

  • Vessel type
  • Required tons of ice per 24 hours
  • Available voltage
  • Phase and frequency
  • Available installation space
  • Cooling-water availability
  • Required ice storage
  • Operating environment

Marine installations should be evaluated individually according to vessel specifications and operating requirements.
