Shared ice facility for small boats |
5 tonne ice machine for fish processor |
||
| 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 machine 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. | ||

||
Thanks to everyone who came along to our stand. There was lots of interest in the new SIF systems for automatic dough cooling due to the drive towards product quality in the bakery sector. To watch a video presentation of our new freshwater StreamIce systems click here. |
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. | ||

Fish processor gets fresh |
||
| A fish processor in Hull decided to take advantage of our November 12 months 0% finance offer and install a brand new ZBE1.000. The cutomer said that even taking into account the cost of installation, the monthly repayments are still lower than his current ice bill and next year when the machine is paid for, he will be making ice for around £10 per tonne. | When one of the most famous brands in Scotland for smoked fish decided to expand into fresh fish, they realized they would need ice so approached Ziegra for advice. Eventually they decided on a UBE1.750 ice machine with stainless steel frame and panels. The machine is to be located in its own weatherproof housing, with the condenser remotely mounted outside. | ||

Tropical machine for new bakery |
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. |

New ice machine and bunker for fish processor |
Ziegra supply ice machine for Channel 4 |
||
| 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. |

Ice machine for trout |
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. As the machine was located in a tight fitting alcove, flexible refrigeration hoses were also used to allow the machine to be withdrawn from time to time for cleaning and maintenance. |

Tropical machine for fish wholesaler |
Outdoor machine for bakery |
||
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 fine 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. | ||

Ice for fish farm |
Second machine for trout farm |
||
| 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 UBE7.500-2 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. | ||

Micro ice for sausage mix |
Accurate dosing for bakery |
||
| 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 UBE7.500-2R packaged ice machines with remote weatherproof condensers. | When a bakery needed an efficient method of producing, storing and dosing ice for cooling their mixers, 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 side of things. |

UBE5.000R in roofspace |
|||
A large fish processor needed 5 tonnes of 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. | ||
| A bakery in Cheshire was looking for an efficient way of accurately controlling their production temperatures. The client asked Ziegra to custom design a freshwater StreamIce plant with production, storage delivery and dosing automatically taken care of. A sister plant has since been installed in a second bakery. Click here to watch video | 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. | ||

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. |
