Ice Factories Manufacturing & Installation
Ice factories installation is one of the most efficient solutions for continuous flake ice production in industrial environments. These systems are designed to meet high ice demand with robust, reliable equipment capable of operating continuously under demanding conditions.
At INESA, we design, manufacture and install turnkey industrial ice factories, fully adapted to each customer’s operational requirements and the climatic conditions of the installation site.
Ice factories manufacturing with high-performance technology
Ice factories manufacturing at INESA is carried out entirely at our facilities in Rubí (Barcelona). Each unit is engineered, assembled and tested prior to delivery to ensure maximum performance, efficiency and long-term reliability.
Our ice factories are composed of:
- GENEGLACE flake ice generator
- High-performance refrigeration compressor
- Climate-optimized condenser
- Electrical control and safety panel
- Refrigeration components and protection systems
The result is a compact, efficient unit designed for continuous flake ice production.
GENEGLACE generators: the core of our ice factories
The key component of our installations is the GENEGLACE generator, a global leader in flake ice machine manufacturing. With presence on all five continents and more than 50 years of experience, GENEGLACE stands for quality, durability and proven reliability.
INESA was a pioneer in introducing GENEGLACE technology to the Spanish and North African markets, installing hundreds of generators each year in a wide range of industrial applications.
Advantages of our industrial ice factories
Ready-to-use units and easy installation
INESA ice factories are supplied as complete, ready-to-use production units. If required, our technical team can carry out on-site installation quickly and efficiently.
Units are typically delivered fully adjusted and commissioned, so the customer only needs to connect the electrical and water supply to start production.
High flake ice production capacity
Thanks to the optimized generator and condensing unit combination, our ice factories offer high production capacities, ranging from:
- 350 kg/day
- Up to 24 tons of flake ice per day
This wide range allows us to supply solutions for both small installations and large-scale industrial projects.
Ice factories installation adapted to climatic conditions
A key factor in ice factories installation is adaptation to local environmental conditions. Installing an ice factory in Northern Europe is very different from installing one in North Africa.
For this reason, INESA carefully selects:
- Compressor capacity
- Condenser size and type
- Climate protection systems
Our ice factories are designed to operate reliably at ambient temperatures ranging from +5°C to +40°C, even in challenging climates.
Maximum customization for each customer
Custom ice factories manufacturing allows us to adapt each project to specific requirements, including:
- Air-cooled or water-cooled condensation (fresh or salt water)
- Component layout and system configuration
- Overall dimensions of the ice factory
- Site-specific space or installation constraints
Each project is individually engineered to deliver the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
Reliability and long service life
INESA industrial ice factories are designed for long-term operation, with an average service life exceeding 20 years. Our more than 35 years of experience in refrigeration technology ensures robust, reliable equipment with optimized maintenance requirements.
We also provide full technical support through an extensive network of qualified installers.
European components and quality assurance
While the GENEGLACE generator carries the “Made in France” certification, all other components are supplied by INESA and sourced exclusively from European manufacturers, fully compliant with current EU regulations.
Short delivery times and fast after-sales service
Because ice factories are manufactured and assembled in-house, INESA offers fast and competitive ex-works delivery times.
Our after-sales service is efficient and responsive: most spare parts ordered before 1:00 PM are shipped the same day with worldwide express delivery.
