The ice plant project ＠ Niger mentioned last time
Selection of ice type
We considered what kind of ice should be served.
Looking at similar efforts made in other countries so far, we found a project providing flaky ice, and flaky ice looked the first candidate for this project.
However, we found that the ice already provided in Niger was shaped like a large block-shaped ice (picture). This is due to the heat of the country, and considering that ice can be melt during transportation, we concluded that such block ice is good.
Therefore, we decided to supply a large block ice cream as shown in the picture.
Selection of ice machine manufacturer
In Japan, there is Hoshizaki, a world-class ice machine manufacturer.
The company has a wide variety of ice machines, and handles various types of ice machines,
large and small. The number of ice machines sold is the highest in the world.
When we told them about the project,
We got the answer that the shape of the ice is too large and there is no such type of ice machine.
As a result of searching on the Internet.
We turned out that a Turkish company sells a container-type ice plant with all the necessary equipment. Immediately start to negotiate !!
The company specializes in supplying the plants to the industries that require ice in remote areas such as quarries and fishing ports.
There are numerous plants, including size and function.
This is the first time, so we chose the smallest one, which is simple and without a cold insulation function.
The other day, we made a purchase order and it is currently in production.
We are looking forward to it being completed.
We will continue to report on the progress of the project, so stay tuned.
