• Operating days per year: 330 days (industry standard).

Full ROI Calculation Table (Assumptions & Results)

Sources:

• Electricity tariff: Bahrain Electricity & Water Authority, industrial rate (2024).
• Ice selling price: BAOCHARM customer installation in Bahrain, November 2023 – range 80-100 USD/ton (lowest used).
• Energy consumption: BAOCHARM factory load test report No. BC‑2401 (June 2024).

Why This ROI Is Achievable

• Energy‑efficient design: 60 kWh/ton is 35% lower than the average of traditional brine block ice machines (92 kWh/ton, based on published data from 3 manufacturers).
• Fully automatic operation: Reduces labor to 1‑2 employees per shift.
• Optional add‑ons: Ice crusher, cold storage room, conveyor belt – increase product value.

FAQ – ROI & Investment

Q: Is the 3‑month payback guaranteed?

A: It is based on specific 2024 Bahrain data (0.08 USD/kWh, 80 USD/ton ice price). Your actual payback depends on local costs and selling price. We recommend a site‑specific analysis.

Q: What water quality is required?

A: City tap water with total dissolved solids (TDS) < 500 ppm. Higher TDS may increase scaling and maintenance.

Q: Do you provide installation outside China?

A: Yes. We can send engineers for on‑site commissioning (additional fee, quoted separately).

Q: How often should I replace spare parts?

A: Compressor oil and filters every 2,000 operating hours; gaskets every 12 months.
