In recent months, demand for flake ice machines has increased significantly in Côte d'Ivoire, Mozambique, Mauritania, and Guinea. This trend is closely linked to the rapid development of the fisheries sector in these coastal countries, where the need for reliable and sustainable cold chain solutions is increasingly pressing.
At TAMUTOM, we offer custom-designed ice production systems suitable for remote or off-grid fishing communities. Our solar-compatible flake ice machines are attracting significant interest in these regions where access to electricity is often limited or unstable.
500 kg Flake Ice Machine with Solar System – Technical Details
One of the most popular models in these countries is our flake ice machine with a capacity of 500 kg per day, equipped with a 3 HP Tecumseh compressor, a water pump, and a condenser fan. Total energy consumption is approximately 3.5 to 4 kW.
- For daytime use only (without battery)
- Minimum solar power required: 4.5 kW
- Number of solar panels: 10 panels of 450 W each
- Recommended inverter: 5 kW
- Battery (optional): useful for cloudy days or nighttime operation
This system can produce 500 kg of ice per day using solar energy alone, providing a reliable, economical, and environmentally friendly solution for remote fishing sites.
Regional Focus: Fishing Growth and Ice Needs
