Hello friends, I’m really excited to share with you about an impending business boom that can initiate a change in your finances forever.

However now is the time to make the necessary in-depth planning as time waits for no one and the Dry/harmattan season is gradually emerging, as we are now in the month of October.

Apart from the need for everyday food preservation through the use of domestic and commercial Fridges and Freezers, cold rooms, Ice-blocks e.t.c, Millions of Cold-chilled water are consumed everyday in Nigeria.

The power situation of Our Dear country cannot be overemphasized as we’ve all experienced it, hence the need for a suitable alternative for chilling our beverage/ mineral drinks, the usage of ice-blocks has come to stay as a major substitute.

As we all know during the dry season, the weather can be hot most times leading to dehydration and frequent thirst of chilled water/drink, the same also exists for domestic usage in preservation purposes.

Now I’m going to spare you’re the stories and go into the real analysis

Now I’m going to spare you’re the stories and go into the real analysis.



Raw materials for the Ice block Business

Water
With water as your main raw material and recurrent source of expenditure, you won’t spend much after your initial capital investment on the ice block machines.

Nylon bags.
Now this is a n essential part of the ice block business. If you go to the market to purchase from local retailers, request for ‘’Ice block Nylon (medium size) ‘’ . A sample is shown below

The popular brand I’ll recommend is Topmost, it is very strong and reliable

A pack contains just 50 nylons.Unlike other nylon bags, the rate of wastage i.e leakages after loading of water, is minimal.

Ice-Block Machines
Over the years as a project Engineer for a renowned refrigeration and air-conditioning company, I’ve been involved in the design and manufacture of various model, types of ice block machine.

Of course there are local technicians out there, that would approach you to construct a cheap machine which unfortunately on most occasions have a shorter lifespan ( I won’t go into full technical details).

But me and my team has been able to come up with an ice block machine that is effective, affordable and reliable and its working cycle is 6 hours per harvest.

I’ll show you a sample below of a 20 pieces ice block machine

Freezers (Optional)
The freezer is used in storing ice blocks that was harvested from the ice block machine, Although most of us do have a freezer at home.

But for the purpose of the ice block business, it’s necessary to have one to store ice blocks that are ready, so that the ice block machine can be used for another production cycle.

Another advantage of the freezer is , should in case of power failure, if there is a large stock of ice blocks in your freezer, You can store it properly for 3-4 days Yes! 3-4 days.

All you just have to do is to reduce the defrost rate by securing the blocks , covering it with a trampoline nylon and sealing it in the freezer.

Although there are various brands of freezers outside, we also specialize in customizing freezers and ice block machines according to the customers specification.

Daily production capacity is production cycles

Total quantity of ice-blocks = blocks
