Ice is now produced on an industrial scale, for uses including food storage and processing, chemical manufacturing, concrete mixing and curing, and consumer or packaged ice. Most commercial ice-makers produce three basic types of fragmentary ice: flake, tubular and plate, using a variety of techniques. Large batch ice makers can produce up to 75 tons of ice per day. Ice production is a large business; in 2002, there were 426 commercial ice-making companies in the United States, with a combined value of shipments of $595,487,000. For small-scale ice production, many modern home refrigerators can also make ice with a built in ice-maker, which will typically make ice cubes or crushed ice. Stand-alone ice-maker units that make ice cubes are often called ice machines.
One of the advantages of starting up an ice business is that there is only a lowstart-up and overhead cost. An ice making business is a profitable business venture since ice has variety of usage from preserving the foods and as a refresher during hot weather.
This business is not a “seasonal” type of business therefore you may be able to earn constantly.
