3 Ton Cube Ice Machine | Koller CV3000 Nigeria Ice Plant Project

Looking to start a commercial cube ice business or build a local packaged ice supply operation? Discover the Koller CV3000 3-Ton Industrial Cube Ice Machine through a customer project in Nigeria.

For this project, Koller supplied a CV3000 automatic edible cube ice machine with a rated production capacity of 3,000 kg per 24 hours. The customer planned to supply cube ice to the local commercial market, creating a dedicated source of ice for distribution and resale.

Key Features of Koller CV3000 Cube Ice Machine

• 3 Tons/Day Rated Capacity: Designed for commercial edible ice production and local ice distribution businesses.

• Automatic PLC Control: Controls the ice-making and harvesting processes, reducing repetitive manual operation.

• Food-Grade Cube Ice Production: Produces edible cube ice for beverage service, packaged ice supply, hospitality, and food-related applications when operated with suitable water treatment and hygiene controls.

• Multiple Cube Ice Sizes: Koller CV series supports 22 × 22 × 22 mm, 29 × 29 × 22 mm, and 38 × 38 × 22 mm ice formats, allowing businesses to select sizes for different customer requirements.

• Industrial Production Configuration: Suitable for integration with ice collection, packaging, and frozen storage systems.

• Expandable Ice Plant Planning: Additional ice-making equipment and supporting systems can be considered as market demand increases.

Nigeria Customer Project | Starting a Local Ice Supply Business

This video features a customer in Nigeria who invested in a Koller CV3000 cube ice machine to establish a local commercial ice supply business.

The machine provides a rated production capacity of 3 tons of edible cube ice per day, supporting the customer's plan to serve local ice buyers.

However, producing ice is only the first step in operating a commercial ice factory. To sell finished ice products, businesses also need to consider collection, packaging, frozen storage, and delivery.

For this Nigeria project, the CV3000 serves as the production starting point for a local ice supply operation.

From Cube Ice Production to a Packaged Ice Business

For investors planning a cube ice factory, the business opportunity extends beyond purchasing an ice machine.

A typical packaged ice production workflow includes:

Water Treatment → Cube Ice Production → Ice Collection → Packaging → Frozen Storage → Local Distribution

1. Packaged Ice Wholesale

Cube ice can be packed into different bag sizes and distributed to supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, and local wholesalers.

2. Beverage Shops and Hospitality

Restaurants, hotels, bars, juice shops, and beverage businesses require a dependable source of edible cube ice for daily operations.

3. Ice Distribution and Resale

Local distributors can purchase packaged or bulk cube ice and supply smaller commercial customers without operating their own ice-making equipment.

4. Expanding an Existing Ice Business

An established ice supplier can consider additional cube ice production capacity, packaging equipment, or frozen storage as customer demand develops.

What Can a 3-Ton Cube Ice Machine Produce for Sale?

At its rated capacity, the CV3000 can produce up to 3,000 kg of cube ice in 24 hours under specified operating conditions.

For example, if a business chooses to sell ice in 5 kg bags:

3,000 kg ÷ 5 kg = 600 bags

This is a theoretical packaging example, not the Nigerian customer's confirmed daily sales or packaging format.

Actual saleable output depends on operating conditions, packaging losses, storage capacity, production scheduling, and local demand.

For ice plant investors, choosing the right packaging format and distribution model is just as important as selecting the machine's daily production capacity.
