Industrial Flavored Ice Production Line - Basic Version

🧊INDUSTRIAL FLAVORED ICE PRODUCTION LINE - BASIC VERSION

Flavored ice is a new and major trend in the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks markets. Its great advantage is that it does not depend as heavily on seasonality as the ice pop industry, while also serving a wide variety of businesses that require this product.

This package is the first step toward producing flavored ice on an industrial scale, with robust equipment already established in the market and a reduced investment requirement.

⚙️ Included equipment:

①TURBO80
②Vat (Tina) 150
③Unmold Tank 9kW
④Liquid Doser
⑤Pack5000 with Dispenser
⑥20TR Cooling Tower without pump

See details about each piece of equipment in the “Machines” menu
This package does not include molds

Production capacity: up to 700 flavored ice units of 220 ml per hour.

🍸 A NEW AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS

There is a strong global trend toward using flavored ice as a premium product and not merely for cooling beverages. It is now seen as a higher-value ingredient, an important component in MIXOLOGY (the art of creating drinks), adding flavor, visual appeal, practicality, and naturalness, greatly increasing sales in various segments, such as:

• Classic alcoholic drinks such as gin and tonic, vodka soda, mojito, spritz, and whisky; light beers with lemon or orange ice; sparkling wines with small cubes of red berries or peach. As a general rule, citrus flavors and herbs (Sicilian lemon, mint, rosemary) have better universal acceptance.

• Non-alcoholic beverages such as flavored water (with great healthy appeal); iced teas such as hibiscus + red berries and green tea + lemon; natural juices such as passion fruit, pineapple with mint, and tropical fruits; in soft drinks, it creates a gourmet version effortlessly.

• Children/family audience options such as blended natural fruit ice (strawberry, mango, grape); fun shapes (star, heart, little balls); it can become an instant mini ice pop when placed in juice or water.

• Food service/events such as brunches and breakfasts (orange, Sicilian lemon, red berry ice); weddings and parties with colors matching the décor; buffets and hotels, adding visual and sensory value.

📊 ESTIMATED REVENUE POTENTIAL

Illustrative estimate of annual revenue (symbolic currency): 1.54 million coins

Considering a production schedule of 5 hours per day, plus 3 additional hours for preparation and logistics, this setup can produce approximately 3,500 units of 220 ml ice per day, or 70,000 units per month based on 20 working days.

Assuming production remains constant throughout the year, with slight seasonal variation, and considering 11 months of work and 1 month without production (for cleaning, maintenance, and rest days), annual production may reach 770,000 ice units.

For this example, we consider a selling price of 2 symbolic coins per ice unit, which may vary depending on whether the product is sold wholesale or retail.

Based on this assumption, estimated annual revenue reaches 1.54 million symbolic coins.

On average, one flavored ice unit adds about 6 symbolic coins to the final price of an alcoholic drink.

The average production cost per ice unit is around 0.30 symbolic coins, depending on the recipe and ingredients.

Naturally, additional costs must also be considered, such as:

• labor
• rent
• equipment depreciation
• taxes
• sales expenses
• logistics
• and other operating costs

Sales growth until reaching the level of 3,500 ice units per day is gradual and depends largely on the business’s ability to promote and expand its presence in the market.

Profit margins can be quite attractive and depend on the efficient management of all these variables, as well as many other strategic factors. In our popsicle and/or flavored ice production courses, we go deeper into the elements that drive long-term business success.

Obviously, if more working hours per day and all 12 months of continuous annual production are considered, annual revenue can increase significantly.

🏭 RECOMMENDED MACHINES

① TURBO 80

It is a linear flavored ice maker intended for small industries. With compact size and simple construction, it offers safety and production continuity. Its greatest advantage is being equipped to operate with FINAFLUID, an exclusive Finamac freezing fluid, approved for food contact and non-flammable. This fluid does not “thicken” at low temperatures and does not lose production efficiency like conventional fluids. It is also used in the ③ 9kW Unmold Tank, so the molds are not immersed in water as in conventional demolders, preventing many drops of this water from being introduced into the machine tank throughout the workday, where they would freeze and greatly reduce production, and could even stop the equipment by blocking fluid circulation.

See in the “Supplies” menu how to purchase FINAFLUID and the hydrometer used to control its proportion with water.

② Vat (Tina) 150

Refrigerated tank for preparing and storing flavored ice mixtures. Built entirely of stainless steel, it ensures constant supply to the linear machine.

③ 9kW Unmold Tank

It is a heated tank used to release flavored ice from the molds coming out of the ①TURBO 80 machine.
Made with high-power electric heating elements, it maintains an unmolding pace compatible with production capacity.
It works with FINAFLUID, a non-flammable fluid approved for food contact, the same one used in the machine tank, so the molds are not immersed in water as in conventional equipment and do not carry this water back to the machine.

④ Liquid Doser

Automatic device for filling molds, reducing labor costs and greatly speeding up the operation. It is installed on top of the ① TURBO 80 machine.

⑤ Pack5000 with Dispenser

Automated equipment for packaging flavored ice. It comes with an ice dispenser. Ask about available dispenser models for different types of ice.

⑥ 20TR Cooling Tower without pump

Equipment required to cool the ice machine. It is supplied without a water circulation pump, and its sizing must be determined by the engineer or technician responsible for the factory’s hydraulic installation. It must be installed outside the production area.

🛠 MACHINE SUPPORT SERVICES

All machines can be supported through various service options, including:

• extended warranty programs
• preventive maintenance plans
• spare parts kits
