Case Study: 20 Ton Ice Tube Machine in South Jakarta, Indonesia

In South Jakarta, Indonesia, a local client partnered with CBFI® to establish a 20 ton ice tube machine factory to meet the growing demand for edible ice in the hot and humid climate. The client needed a solution that was not only efficient and hygienic, but also cost-effective and space-saving. CBFI delivered on all fronts.

The ice tube machine Indonesia solution provided by CBFI produces crystal-clear, slow-melting tube ice that meets edible-grade safety standards, ideal for beverage and daily use in tropical regions.

The factory features a compact, integrated 20 ton ice tube machine, which maximizes output while minimizing space. The customer's site is a low-cost iron shed, and the system’s space efficiency helped significantly reduce rental expenses.

To support peak production, the client also invested in a cold storage room provided by CBFI. This allows them to store ice during low-demand periods and prepare for high-sales seasons.

In addition, CBFI supplied a complete auxiliary system including an ice storage hopper and a manual ice packing machine—perfectly suited to the Indonesian market. The entire setup enables smooth operation, from ice production to packaging and storage.

From consultation to implementation, CBFI’s technical team provided continuous support throughout the project. With a one-stop equipment supply and guidance, the client was able to launch their ice business quickly and efficiently without the hassle of coordinating multiple suppliers.
