The Tuvalu Fisheries Department (TFD) is seeking quotations for the supply of 7 small flake ice machines for installation in Community Fisheries Centres in the outer islands of Tuvalu.
Specifications:
We require a flake ice machine that can produce 350-500 kgs of ice per 24 hours under ambient conditions of water temperature 25○C; and ambient temperature 35○C. This should be a robust machine, designed for trouble-free operation in a harsh and very corrosive climate. Single-phase power (220v) is preferred and should be protected against power cuts and voltage fluctuation. This should be a self-contained unit that can just be plugged in and connected to a water supply to start operation. It should be provided with a suitable insulated ice storage bin with a capacity of 300-500 kgs of ice.
The quotation should include shipping and insurance for delivery to Funafuti port.
