Application Overview

Ice is commonly used in industrial applications where temperature control is critical. However, for best performance, ice must be broken into smaller, manageable pieces rather than used in large slabs.

• The HK Associates Ice Crusher is ideal for:
  Chemical reaction cooling
  • Pharmaceutical processing
  • Food & seafood preservation
  • Industrial cooling applications
  • Any process requiring crushed ice on demand

Heavy-Duty Rotary Drum Crushing System

• The ice crushing operation is carried out using
  • A robust rotary drum fitted with multiple pointed spikes
  • Slow-speed rotation for controlled and efficient crushing
  • Uniform ice breaking without excessive fines

  The drum is driven by a 2 HP electric motor through V-belts and T-pulleys, ensuring reliable torque transmission and smooth operation.

• High Production Capacity
  • Production Capacity: 2 to 3 tonnes per hour
  • Output depends on ice feeding rate and crushed ice removal rate
  • Designed for continuous and on-demand crushing

  This capacity is sufficient for most industrial applications where ice is required intermittently rather than stored.

Robust Construction & Mobility

• The Ice Crusher is built for rugged industrial environments
  • Machine frame fabricated from heavy-duty MS channels
  • Body constructed using high-quality MS sheet
  • Covered top section for operational safety
  • Mounted on two rubber wheels with fixed supports
  • Easily movable by a single operator

  This robust design ensures maximum heat retention and reduced fuel or power consumption.

Bearing & Maintenance Friendly Design

• • Rotary drum supported on two heavy-duty self-aligning ball bearings
  • Bearings housed in plummer blocks
  • Drum assembly can be easily lifted out for bearing replacement or maintenance
  • Designed for long service life and minimal downtime

Operator-Friendly Feeding & Discharge

• • Feeding point provided at a convenient working height
  • Crushed ice is discharged immediately from the bottom
  • Ice can be collected directly on the floor or into containers

Compact & Efficient Ice Breaking Design

• Unlike large ice breakers designed for crushing slabs up to 250 kg, this industrial ice crusher is optimized for medium-scale applications, handling ice blocks weighing 15–20 kg per batch.
  • Produces crushed ice in 10 mm to 25 mm sizes
  • Some fines and larger pieces may occur, suitable for industrial use
  • Ice is crushed only when required, minimizing melting losses
