What Materials Do I Need To Set Up My Ice Block Business In Nigeria?

Before you start up the ice block business, there are major materials you will need to always keep your production going, and below listed are what you need to have.

Water
Water is the major raw material you need in this ice block business; there's no way you can make ice blocks without it because ice blocks are made by freezing water to a low temperature. Therefore, you need to make sure you have a good source that supplies you with clean water to carry out your production.

It is advisable to take note of the clean water because the block will be used to make cold drinks or dropped directly into something drinkable and you don't want your potential client complaining about drinking poison or drinking products that are contaminated as a result of your carelessness.

You can decide to find a way to get water directly from the local water supply around you or you can buy it from the body in charge of water, but make sure it's clean.

If you have enough time, you can decide to boil your water before making it an ice block or ensure it passes through a purification process.

Packaging
If you grew up in Nigeria, you know that the easiest way to package ice blocks is in a transparent polythene nylon bag. This is because even if the ice block returned to its original state, the nylon could always hold the water.

You can decide to customize your nylon with your brand name and also include your contact details so that your clients can always use them to trace you and you'll be able to stand out from your competitors.

Ice Block-making Machine
There's no way to mention ice block business and not mention ice block-making machines. This is what you need to produce your ice blocks, some people prefer to use deep freezers that have coolers to do this, but then there are specialized block machines that have certain shapes that give your ice block that unique shape depending on the molds of the machine you purchase.

This ice block machine can either be fabricated according to your specifications or bought from various companies, and Austin Laz Ice Block International Ice Block Machine Company can give you several recommendations that fit your ice block project or specification. Kindly Check their website for free consultation at A u s t i n l a z . com . ng

Generators Or An External Source Of Energy

The above listed are very important. We all know how unstable electricity is in Nigeria and truth be told we cannot shy away from the fact that we need steady electricity, for which we can not depend on the Nigerian power-producing company.

Therefore, you should get a generator that can power your ice block-making machine to avoid any form of an electricity shortage that could affect your business.

There are times when the available voltage may not carry your ice block machine, but your generator might be your only rescue at the moment this is because, at an early stage of your business, it is very bad for you to start disappointing your clients. For specification of the type of generator that will carry your machine, I recommend that you speak with Austinlaz IceBlock Machine Company in Nigeria.

Capital
Even though this part was skipped earlier, there's no way you'll start up a business without investing in it or putting your best effort toward it, especially if you want to get excellent results.

The advantage of an ice block-making business is that it doesn't need huge capital before you can start. You may not have enough money to buy industrial machines, but you can meet the closest welder near you to construct one for a start but this is not recommended because the amount a local welder will charge you and still deliver shabby job is almost the same amount austin laz ice block machine manufacturers in Nigeria will charge you and give you professional machine with free consultation.

You might not have enough money to customize your nylons, but you can get cheap nylons from the market.

If you're in an area where the power supply is manageable, you can also utilize this opportunity to make profits.

If you can produce over 400 ice blocks daily and you decide to sell each for 100 naira per block, that's a lot of profit. Let's do the math together.

400 pieces of ice block multiplied by 100 naira each = 40000

If you make 40,000 naira daily, that's a huge profit, and there are days you might make more than that amount; now let's multiply 40,000 by 30 days, which equals 1,200,000.
