SEMI-AUTO ICE PACKING UNIT

What Is an Ice Packaging Unit Used For?

An ice packaging unit is a machine designed to:

• Automatically weigh produced ice cubes or crushed ice

• Bag the ice (typically in plastic bags)

• Seal and/or close the bags

Advanced models may also include features like barcode labeling, date stamping, and conveyor belts.

When Is It Used?

For Commercial Sales:
Used when you want to sell packaged ice to customers such as supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, or event service providers.

In Hygiene-Sensitive Environments:
Provides contact-free and hygienic packaging instead of selling loose ice. This is especially important in the food and healthcare industries.

For Easier Storage and Transport:
Packaged ice can be stored more safely and orderly in cold storage and shipped over long distances with less risk.

For Branding and a Corporate Image:
Ice packages featuring your logo, brand, or slogan increase trust and enhance brand visibility.

Is It More Profitable to Sell Packaged Ice?

Generally, yes. Here’s why:

Packaged ice typically sells for 30–60% more per kilogram than loose ice. Also, instead of selling individually, you can build long-term agreements with retail chains for a more stable and consistent income.
