20 Ton Block Ice Machine | Koller DK200 Automatic Harvesting

Looking for a high-capacity industrial block ice machine for a commercial ice plant or ice wholesale business? Watch the Koller DK200 20-Ton Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine in operation, featuring automatic ice harvesting and finished 25 kg ice blocks.

The Koller DK200 has a rated production capacity of 20,000 kg per 24 hours. Designed for large-scale block ice manufacturing, it uses direct cooling technology to produce solid ice blocks without a traditional saltwater brine tank.

This video demonstrates the ice-making and automatic harvesting processes, providing a practical reference for industrial ice plant investors, block ice wholesalers, fisheries, and food-processing businesses.

Key Features of Koller DK200

✅ 20 Tons/Day Production Capacity – Designed for industrial ice plants, large-scale ice distribution, and high-volume block ice production.

✅ Automatic Ice Harvesting – An automatic lifting and lowering mechanism assists with ice block harvesting, reducing repetitive manual handling during production.

✅ Direct Cooling Technology – Eliminates the traditional brine tank, simplifying the ice-making process and supporting a more compact equipment arrangement.

✅ 25 kg Ice Blocks in This Video – The video showcases finished 25 kg blocks. The DK200 also offers standard 50 kg and 100 kg options, with other sizes available through customization.

✅ Food-Grade Aluminum Ice Molds – Weld-free aluminum ice molds provide efficient heat transfer, corrosion resistance, and durable operation.

✅ Siemens PLC Automatic Control – Controls water supply, ice freezing, and defrosting, with touchscreen operation and equipment protection functions.

✅ Industrial Refrigeration Configuration – Water-cooled or evaporative cooling configurations can be selected according to factory conditions and project requirements.

Commercial Applications | Building a Block Ice Business

A 20-ton block ice machine can serve different commercial and industrial markets, depending on local demand and the required ice block size.

1. Block Ice Wholesale and Distribution

For investors establishing an industrial ice factory, the DK200 can produce block ice for resale to local distributors, markets, fishing operators, and commercial customers.

Using 25 kg blocks as an example, a rated daily capacity of 20,000 kg is equivalent to approximately 800 blocks per day under standard rated conditions. Actual output depends on operating conditions and production arrangements.

2. Fisheries and Seafood Transportation

Large ice blocks can be transported to fishing ports, seafood markets, and distribution centers. They can also be crushed into smaller pieces when required for direct contact cooling and seafood preservation.

3. Food Processing and Cold Chain Operations

Block ice can support temperature management during food handling, processing, storage, and transportation, particularly where bulk ice supply is required.

4. Construction and Concrete Cooling

Industrial block ice can be used in concrete cooling operations after suitable crushing or processing, helping manage concrete mixing temperatures in large construction projects.

For ice business investors, selecting the right capacity depends on daily customer demand, delivery arrangements, storage facilities, and local operating conditions.
