Solar-powered icemaker that works even in off-grid locations
Our award-winning refrigeration technology has been installed in remote locations globally and has empowered local entrepreneurs in the community. The major barrier that co-ops and businesses in remote areas face stem from using diesel generators either as the main energy source or in a back-up capacity. Either way, this is very costly and logistically challenging which lead to loss of stock, reduced shelf life or worse, business closure. Our Solarator® Ice is an eco-friendly, industry-grade ice maker that uses either saltwater or freshwater can facilitate rapid pre-cooling of products for preservation and transport. It can produce up to 600 kgs of flake ice per day, or can be configured to make 300 kgs of block ice. With a rapidly deployable design, it can be stowed away at night or packed up during bad weather within minutes.
Our cold chain products have been deployed across the world including Australia, Bahamas, Djibouti, Papua New Guinea, USA and Vanuatu. We also recognise the value of data in strategic decision-making that's why each Solarator® unit is connected to a powerful dashboard where clients at different levels of the organisation can generate relevant and custom sustainability reports in minutes.
