1,200kg ice machine on frame
 

Ziegra and sister company Zap Ice Pigging Ltd spent a busy few days demonstrating the new ice pigging system, which being a new technology generated a lot of interest.

We also had a lot of interest in our UBE1.500 and ZBE350-S130 machines which were running on the stand making the ever popular micro ice.

Thanks for everyone who took the time to come and talk to us.

  A major brand in the bakery sector was looking for an efficient method of dough cooling and after speaking to Ziegra engineers decided ice was the way to go. A ZBE1.200 ice machine was installed on a stand feeding a Smartcart that plugs in underneath. A remote weatherproof condenser outside the building ensures maximum efficiency during the warm summer months and the level control system monitors the ice level to keep the cart full without overflowing. A drainage system built into the cart plugs into a system on the frame, keeping the ice in good condition during prolonged storage in the warm, humid environment.

Kingfisher Colours were upgrading their pigment production plant and needed a new ice machine along with their new drying machinery.

Their existing Ziegra machine was coming up to its 20th birthday and was on R22 so they decided more modern in the form of a new ZBE750 on an SG500 ice storage bin would fit the bill. They are now set for the next 20 years production.

  Milford Haven Port Authority were looking to replace their ageing ice plant as it was on an obsolete gas. The only difficulty was that they may be moving to new premises in the next few years, so decided that a mobile solution would be the answer. After putting it out to tender last year Ziegra won the contract with a containerised design that can be simply picked up by a hiab and moved very easilty. It was installed in August of this year and Melanie Durney who headed up the project for the Autority reported back that they are delighted both with the plant and the follow up service they have received so far.

A leisure centre in the north west was struggling with another brand of ice machine which had never performed well. After spending money for a couple of years trying to improve its performance and reliability they had decided enough was enough after only three years in service.

When a Ziegra engineer looked at the installation a ZBE150 with no panels and an F type ice discharge was recommended to fit the existing cupboard with a remote condenser outside to ensure year round performance. Some modifications were also suggested to the cupboard itself which the client had modifiedt by a joiner. The result is a machine which outperforms the old machine by a considerable margin and will provide reliable service for years to come.

When a well known bakery in the south of England commissioned a new bakery, they approached Ziegra to help design the ice supply solution. In the end it was decided that a UBE2.500R machine would sit above the main production area and drop ice via a level controlled distribution pipe into bins in the bakery below.
 
One of the biggest names in the meat industry commissioned Ziegra to design a custom made UBE3.500-2R ice machine to their own specifications to solve a cooling problem in their production process. The machine replaces buying in of ice, thus bringing control of the ice production back in house, the cost savings over bought ice are substantial and they calculate a ROI of less than 12 months.

A large indepenant bakery in Manchester decided that it wanted an easier and more hygienic way to distribute the ice around the production area. After consulation with Ziegra they eventually decided on a BK630 elevated bin and cart which loads ice into mobile carts from an elevated bin above by gravity. Thus eliminating manual handling of the ice and the contamination risk that goes along with it.
 
Following some preliminary trials with Bristol university, when a large coating plant decided to further investigate the enormous benefits of ice pigging for its piping systems, they approached Ziegra and partners to design a custom made mobile pigging rig which would be used during extensive trials over the next several years.

A small fishing co-operative in North Wales has bought a Ziegra ZBE1.200-SG970 as a shared facility in a bid to improve product quality with the help of the National trust. The machine can produce 1,200kg of macro chip ice per day and stores 970kg for immediate use. The group, who operate a small fleet of day boats will take ice from the machine out to sea with them for packing.
 
A fish processor in North Scotland who was struggling for space in their busy factory contacted Ziegra to see what we could suggest. A platform was designed to mount the ZBE5.000 overhead and the ice is discharged into four 500kg bins overnight for use the following day. The excellent storage characterisitcs of macro chip ice allows them to store the ice in dolav bins with no risk of the ice freezing together.

when a fish processor in Cumbria needed a new ice machine, they turned to Ziegra for advice. After consultation, it was decided that the best way forward was a ZSM10.000 scale ice machine on top of their coldroom. The ice is discharged through the roof directly into bins, which are stored until needed. Scale ice, often called flake ice in the fishing industry is sub - cooled ice, so has to be refrigerated during storage to reduce the chance of it sticking together into lumps.
 

A small fishing co-operative in the south west have clubbed together and bought a ZBE1.200-SG1.300 as a shared facility in a bid to improve product quality with the help of a European grant. The produces 1.2 tonnes of ice per day and can store 1,300kg. A remote saltwater resistant condenser was specified for a long life and maximum peformance in summer.

Bakery thinks 'Smart'
 

A new bakery in Kent needed an ice machine to operate in warm conditions and wanted the machine to have a guaranteed output at 35degC air. After talking to Ziegra, they decided on a tropical specification UBE1.750 with a remote condenser in the roofspace.

The auto-water drain down and three stage water filtration unit on this machine was attractive to the customer as hygiene was of paramount importance. A stainless steel frame and panels upgrade was also chosen for this reason.

 

When a well known bakery in Lancashire opened a new factory, they needed a new ice machine and ice storage unit. They chose a ZBE1.200-SG970 with a remote weatherproof condenser mounted outside the building for maximum performance in summer.

The SG970 is more hygienic than the a standard bin, due to its unique design. The 'SmartGate technology brings the ice from the bottom out first, thus eliminating stagnant ice buildup in the bottom, which is a well known problem with standard storage bins.

A fish processor in the north east needed a new ice machine and bunker. Rather than replace what they had, they decided on some improvements. The new machine is a ZBE2.500 with remote seawater resistant condenser for maximum performance in summer. The machine sits on a new bunker with a full height door so that ice bins can be wheeled in and out. This means that the ice can be made directly into the existing ice storage bins, which had to be shovelled in previously from the old bunker. A ziegra triple water filter ensures reliability of the machine between service intervals.
 

When Channel 4 were looking for an ice machine for their sports show 'The Games', they approached Ziegra for advice.

Ice has to have the correct physical properties for therapeutic applications, it cannot be too cold, otherwise it could cause 'burns' to the skin and it should be fine enough to mould around body contours such as joints. A ZBE30-10 was supplied for the duration of the show.

Tropical machine for fish shop
 
A trout farm in Kent has a warm feeling about his new ZBE2.500. After consultation with a Ziegra applications engineer , it was decided that the machine would be a remote condenser model with the condenser built into the wall of a nearby building which required year round heating. The machine consumes around 9.0kW of electrical energy, to make 2.5 tonne of ice per day, but because of the heat extracted from the water to turn it to ice, it actually puts out 20kW of heat energy, making it a very energy efficient heater. As this waste heat is normally just vented to atmosphere, this makes for a very green solution. As the buildings were across a road from each other, the pipes and cables were buried under the road by the customer prior to our engineer arriving on site.
 

A customer recently opened a new fish shop and needed an ice machine with storage to fit in a very tall, thin space. The machine also needed to be very quiet in operation with good performance in summer. A ZBE375T-200 with remote condenser was specified, with the remote condenser to be located in an attic room. As the machine is a tropical model rated at 35degC air and 25degC water temperatures, good performance in summer is guaranteed.

A Birmingham fish wholesaler noticed that in summer his ice machines performance dropped along with ice quality, due to the high temperature of the location. He approached Ziegra to discuss his problem who recommended the installation of a ZBE375 tropical specification machine with a Ziegra triple anti-scale filter.

Now even on the warmest days, the machine gives its stated output and the ice quality remains consistently high. The filter will help to ensure years of reliable service, even in this hard water area.

 
A bakery needed an ice machine to deliver 2.5 tonnes of micro ice per day into the production area. Unfortunately, he did not have anywhere within production where the machine could be located. After a site survey was carried out, a ZBE2.500 was installed within a weatherproof, insulated GRP housing with a frostguard heater to protect the machine during winter. For efficiency in summer, the weatherproof condenser was mounted outside the enclosure. The ice is discharged through a custom ice pipe with level control built in and fills small stainless steel bins, cutting out automatically when they are full.

A major UK fish farm needed a more efficient way to cool their harvest. After spending many months trying different types of ice, they got the best result from Ziegra macro ice. After a lengthy consulation a location for the machine was agreed and a UBE7.500 packaged machine with Ziegra Triple water filtration was installed with storage being taken care of by container.
 
A yorkshire trout farm has been running a Ziegra ZBE1.200R since 1999 along with a competitors machine. When it came time to add a third unit to their ice production, it was felt that the Ziegra had proved its reliability, so a second ZBE1.200R was added. Like its older brother, the machine lives outdoors on top of a bunker under a weatherproof cover, with frostguard protections, insulated pipework and a Ziegra triple filter. Both machines make midi ice.

When one of Europe's largest sausage plants needed to replace their ageing scale ice plant, rather than replace it with something like for like, they decided to look at efficiency. After 18 months of trials and investigation, they eventually decided on a 15 tonne Ziegra micro ice plant consisting of two UBE7.500R packaged ice machines with remote weatherproof condensers.
 

When a bakery needed an efficient method of producing, storing and dosing ice for cooling their dough, they asked Ziegra to come up with some solutions.

In the end they decided on a UBE5.000-2 with remote weatherproof condensers with an AS500 to take care of the storage/dosing of the micro ice.

A large fish processor needed 5 tonnes of micro ice per day for the packing of fillets. They needed the ice delivering into a redundant coldroom where they wanted to fill six dolav type bins with ice. A UBE5.000 split system was delivered to site, stripped, carried across the roofspace then reassembled above the coldroom on a custom designed steel cradle supported from the roof beams. The fine ice is delivered via two custom designed ice pipes discharging through the ceiling of the coldroom. The condenser is remote for maximum efficincy in summer.
 
A sausage manufacturer in Yorkshire needed an ice machine that had to be ultra reliable and located in a roofspace that gets very warm in summer. The answer was a UBE3.500-2 tropical specification machine producing MicroIce which operates efficiently at high ambient temperatures.

When you are opening a new restaurant by the sea in an area where storms often lash the coastline, you need a machine that is a little tougher and better thought out than average. After consultation with Ziegra a ZBE350 with a Ziegra triple water filter and a saltwater resistant condenser was installed by our engineers.

3.5 tonne ice machine for fish
 
When a poultry processing plant in Norfolk needed to cool their spin chiller, they turned to Ziegra for help. After consultation with Ziegra engineers a 20 tonne plant was installed and commissioned. The plant was a split system with icemakers indoors and refrigeration plant outdoors on a platform.
 
A fish processor in East Sussex wanted a 3.5 tonne ice machine but did not have a lot of space. After chatting with Ziegra engineers he eventually decided to install a UBE3.500-2 'macro ice' machine with remote seawater resistant condensers and twin refrigeration circuits for maximum uptime.
