Temperature controlled concrete is required for most mass pour concrete projects to ensure a consistent temperature in every mix throughout the day. The concrete mixture is cooled to a specified placement temperature to avoid the build of up heat, which can compromise the strength and integrity of the structure. Contractors can force cool concrete using a variety of methods, including chilling the aggregates with water or air prior to mixing, or choosing a ICESTA ice plant, which provides flake ice or a mixture of flake ice and water that is added to the concrete mix in place of water. Depending on the concrete placement temperature required and local ambient temperatures, flake ice or a mixture of flake ice and water is often the best method to effectively achieve the correct temperature at the most efficient cost.
Technical Data of Ice Machine Note: 1. Water cooling design or Evaporative Condensing design is recommended for Containerized Ice Making Plants; 2. Refrigeration Method: Freon (Reciprocating Compressor or Screw Compressor Refrigeration Unit); 3. Water inlet Temp: ≤16ºC (Water chiller system is available upon request).
