Continuous high temperature ice cubes are in short supply!The sky at 40 ° C entered the ice -making plant, and the reporter experienced "two days of ice and fire"

Although it has passed the autumn, the temperature in Nanjing, Jiangsu is still high. The temperature of the body has continued to break through 40 ° C. High temperature weather, bringing a large ice cube business, and the phenomenon of ice cubes in many places in Nanjing.

In the Limin Vegetable Market in Qixia District, Nanjing, the reporter saw that many aquatic merchants used large ice cubes to cool the live fish. Ms. Chen said: "The temperature has been too high recently, and the fish can't be eaten. At least ten ice cubes a day."

On the morning of August 12, 2022, Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist came to Jianyou Bing Factory in Xiaozhuang Industrial Park, Jiangning District, Nanjing City. The workers were quickly loaded into the truck in the "relay race".

Bypassing the truck that is loaded with ice, a ice -made band made of iron plates is displayed in front of the reporter. Workers standing at a high place hook on the long bars with long iron hooks. The conveyor belt, smooth ice cubes slipped down, and finally loaded the cargo workers into the compartment in turn.

Master Li, a truck driver, said: "Today is the nucleic acid detection point from the ice cubes to the side of Jiangning District, Nanjing. It is very hard to make nucleic acids. It is hot in summer and gives them cool." He told reporters that in addition to sending nucleic acid detection points, Ice also transport ice cubes to aquatic and vegetable merchants. When the delivery volume is large, you can send two or three thousand ice cubes a day, and you want to pull more than a dozen trips.

"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold", as well as ice making. Entering the ice -making workshop, the machine rang, and was driving the horsepower to catch the ice cubes. The ice -making pool is covered with thick rubber film, and the neatly arranged mold is filled with water. "A piece of ice drops from the water temperature of 30 degrees Celsius to the icing below zero. It takes 8 hours. If you want the ice cubes, it takes a longer time. The machine keeps turning for 24 hours. Zhai Chuanjun, the person in charge of the ice plant, introduced that at present, it is about 3,000 ice cubes a day. At present, it is the peak season, and sometimes it can be sold all in half a day.

Entering the storage workshop of the ice -making factory, a burst of cold came from the "ice cave". The reporter immediately felt that the pores of the whole body were shrinking, which stirred a goosebump. The outdoor is a high temperature of nearly 40 ° C. It is cool and unbearable. The storage room is a low temperature of a dozen degrees below minus, cold and bone, and the temperature difference is 50 ° C. For Master Wang, the ice worker, traveling to and from the "two days of ice and fire" to drag the ice cubes every day is the norm of work.

From July to September each year, it is the peak of ice making. These days, the machines and workers operate at full load, but the ice cubes are still in short supply. Master Wang is on standby 24 hours a day, sometimes in the early morning, and sleep less than 6 hours a day. Ice making is an individual work. The prepared ice is about 90 pounds, and the handling and storage must be done by manual. During the handling, Master Wang used a clamping with a pliers, and his hands were hard together. The large ice cubes of nearly a hundred pounds instantly slipped to the forklift. "How to make the pliers is critical. To use the inertia of ice cubes, it is not so difficult to move." Under the guidance of Master Wang, the reporter also experienced the work of handling ice cubes. Although the temperature in the room is not high, the temperature is not high , But after half an hour, the reporter has been soaked in sweat. In the same movement, Master Wang repeated hundreds of times a day. He told the reporter funnyly, "This cold difference does not solve the heat! But while the business is good now, you can make more money." Until 12:30 noon, the vehicles who came to buy ice cubes gradually did , Master Wang took a break and ate a meal, and after a while, he got up and walked towards the ice -making workshop.

"This year's order volume is more than doubled compared to last year. Now the output of our factory is about 2500 to 3,000 ice cubes a day. At present, the largest amount of dosage is the vegetable and aquatic market in each factory." Zhai Chuanjun told reporters that reporters told reporters At present, the full load production of ice plants is still in short supply. He expects that such a hot market can last until the end of September. After the weather is cool, it is mainly to provide fresh places. At that time, the overall market will become gentle.
