Running out of flake ice in the middle of a shift is a nightmare for any processing plant. If you are constantly waiting on slow commercial units or spending a fortune buying bagged ice to bridge the gap, it is time to look at industrial-grade equipment.
Enter the Koller KP30. It sits in that sweet spot for growing businesses: powerful enough to churn out 3 Tonnen (3000kg) of ice every day, but compact enough to install without building a dedicated plant room. Whether you are preserving fresh catch, processing meat, or cooling concrete, this machine is built to run 24/7 so your production line never has to stop.
Here is why the Koller KP30 flake ice machine is the reliable workhorse your factory needs right now.
3 Tons Daily Capacity for High Volume Operations
If your current Scherbeneismaschinen are constantly running empty, the KP30 is the upgrade you need. Rated at 3 Tonne/24 Stunden, this machine churns out 3000kg of flake ice every single day under standard conditions. That kind of output can keep large supermarkets, meat processing lines, and fishery docks supplied even when demand is at its peak.
Unlike smaller units that struggle to keep up with peak hours, the KP30 provides a steady stream of dry, cooling ice. This allows you to maintain consistent quality control for aquatic food or fowl slaughtering without worrying about shortages mid-shift.

15HP Compressor and Air Cooled System Performance
A 3-ton flake ice machine requires a powerful heart to maintain efficiency. The KP30 is equipped with a 15 HP compressor, typically sourced from reputable brands like Bitzer or Refcomp. This heavy-duty compressor helps keep the refrigeration system stable even during long production cycles.
The standard Koller KP30 flake ice machine uses an air cooling design. Many industrial users prefer this because it simplifies installation—you do not need cooling towers or complex condenser water systems. The system is designed to work under a condensing temperature of 40°C, matching common ambient conditions in factory environments.
To support this performance, the machine uses dedicated motors for specific tasks: A 0.37 KW motor for the cooling fan and a 0.15 KW pump for water circulation. Each part of the cooling cycle has its own drive, which helps the unit run more consistently over time.
SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction and Welding Quality
Saltwater and humidity are tough on equipment, so Koller builds the KP30 with that in mind. The evaporator drum is made from SUS304 stainless steel, a material widely used in food processing thanks to its corrosion resistance and hygiene benefits.
Koller strengthens the SUS304 structure further with automatic welding technology. This improves seam accuracy and overall drum strength. The fixed and stationary vertical evaporator design also reduces moving parts around the refrigerant circuit, which lowers the risk of leaks over long-term operation.
Rolling Spiral Blade Design and Flake Ice Quality
The quality of the flake ice matters just as much as how much you produce. The KP30 uses a rolling spiral ice blade that scrapes ice from the inner wall of the drum with low resistance and low loss. This design keeps the cutting process smooth and reduces mechanical stress on the drive system.
Koller describes the ice-cutting process as having “no noise,” which makes the KP30 suitable for indoor processing rooms where people work nearby. The flake ice itself is dry, smooth, and powder-free, with a thickness of 1.5mm to 2.0mm. Its flat, thin shape gives it a large surface area for fast cooling, and the lack of sharp edges means it is gentle on delicate products like fresh fish and produce.

Major Applications in Food and Chemical Industries
Although many buyers first think of seafood when they hear “flake ice,” the Koller KP30 serves a much wider range of industries. Koller lists it for:
- Lebensmittelverarbeitung: Preservation for meat, aquatic products, and fowl slaughtering.
- Retail: Fresh display preservation in large supermarkets.
- Fischerei: Ocean-going fishing vessels and dockside ice loading.
- Industrielle Prozesse: Temperature control for dye chemical industries and concrete construction projects.
In concrete projects, flake ice can help control mix temperature in hot climates, reducing the risk of cracking. In chemical and dye processes, stable low temperatures support reaction control and product quality. Across all of these cases, the KP30’s 3000kg/day capacity gives operators enough buffer to handle daily demand with confidence.
Installation and Site Requirements
Don’t let the compact footprint fool you—this is still heavy industrial gear. Since the KP30 is an integrated machinery unit, the installation work on site mainly focuses on positioning, power connection, und Wasserversorgung, rather than assembling separate modules.
With a weight of about 820kg, your facility needs suitable lifting equipment, such as a forklift, to move the unit into place safely. The floor should be level and capable of bearing this concentrated load over the long term.
Power compatibility is rarely a barrier for the KP30. While 380V/50Hz/3P is a common choice, Koller can configure the machine for 220V, 415V, or 440V power supplies to match different regional standards. As long as your site voltage and water temperature (ideally around 21°C) are within the recommended range, the flake ice machine can reach its rated performance quickly after commissioning.
Ready to Upgrade Your Ice Production?
The Koller KP30 flake ice machine hits that sweet spot: big enough to support factory-level demand, yet straightforward enough to install without a large engineering team. It delivers 3-ton daily capacity in a compact, air-cooled package that fits well into busy production spaces.
You are also working with a manufacturer that has supplied ice solutions for events such as the Beijing Olympics and for brands such as Coca-Cola, and has been focused on durable, energy-conscious equipment since 2004. If you are ready to move beyond unreliable small machines and secure a stable flake ice supply for your business, the KP30 is a solid option for your shortlist.
