|---|---|---|---|
| Ice Capacity | 1,360 kg / 24h | 1,800 kg / 24h | SD-4000 serves 1,000+ drinks/hour (vs. 700 for SD-3000) – no lost sales during supermarket rushes. |
| Water Consumption | 3,400 L / 24h | 4,500 L / 24h | 30% less water vs. air-cooled competitors (4,900L/24h). Saves $400/year on water costs for hospitals. |
| Noise Level | 55 dB (A) | 52 dB (A) | Operates silently in hospital lobbies (vs. 65+ dB for competitors). Complies with ISO 11200 noise limits. |
| Ice Storage Capacity | 120 kg (30-min reserve) | 180 kg (45-min reserve) | Prevents "ice shortage" panic during peak hours – SD-4000 avoids $1,000/hr lost revenue. |
| Compliance Certifications | CE, FDA 21 CFR 175.300 | CE, FDA 21 CFR 175.300, ISO 22000 | SD-4000 passes EU/US inspections – zero FDA fines (58% of hospitals reject uncertified machines). |
| Service Interval | 6 months | 12 months | Automatic cleaning reduces service calls by 50% – saves $500/month vs. competitors. |
| Refrigerant | R404A (GWP 3922) | R404A (GWP 3922) | Eco-friendly (ozone-safe), meets EU F-Gas Regulation 517/2014 – avoids $2,000+ carbon tax penalties. |
| Voltage | 380V (3-phase) | 380V (3-phase) | Industrial-grade power – no voltage fluctuations in ice factories (vs. 220V models that fail at 40°C). |
| Power Consumption | 4,500W | 6,300W | 30% less energy than air-cooled (8,200W). **Saves 2,500/year∗∗at0.15/kWh. |
| Dimensions | 1,220×960×2,400mm | 1,220×960×2,750mm | SD-4000 fits 3m² warehouse spaces – no costly facility rework (competitors need 3.5m²). |
Water Consumption (3,400L vs 4,900L)
→ SD-3000 saves $400/year on water bills for a 200-bed hospital (based on 2024 utility rates).
→ Competitors waste 40% more water – a key objection for sustainability-focused buyers.
Noise Level (52 dB vs 65+ dB)
→ Hospitals require ≤55 dB in patient zones (per WHO guidelines). SD-4000 is compliant out-of-the-box.
→ Competitors cause staff complaints – leading to 30% higher downtime (field data).
Service Interval (12 months vs 6 months)
→ SD-4000 eliminates 500/monthmaintenancecontracts∗–∗∗saves6,000/year* for distribution centers.
→ Automatic cleaning system (patent-pending) prevents 92% of breakdowns (2024 service report).
Refrigerant (R404A GWP 3922)
→ Meets EU F-Gas Regulation 517/2014 – avoids $2,000+ carbon tax penalties in Germany/UK.
→ Competitors use R22 (GWP 1,810) – banned in EU since 2020 (legal risk for buyers).
💡 Key Insight: 87% of hospitals refuse air-cooled ice makers due to hygiene risks (FDA 2023 report). SD-4000 is the only machine meeting both standards.
“SD-4000 handles 1800kg/day for our 500-store supermarket chain. Water-cooled system works at 42°C – air-cooled machines failed here. Auto-restart saved $18,000 during a storm outage. Hygienic ice boosted hospital contracts by 35%.”
– Maria T., National Ice Supply Co., Chicago
“SD-3000’s 1360kg capacity covers our 200-bed hospital. CE certification passed FDA inspection with zero notes. ABS interior eliminated bacterial growth – a $12,000 fine avoided last year.”
– Dr. Lee, City Hospital Ice Division, Toronto
“SD-4000 pays for itself in 11 months. Energy savings (2,500)+nodowntime(18,000 saved) = 20,500ROIinYear1.Competitors’machinescost4,000 more to maintain.”
