Temporary ice rinks

The Christmas period is a popular time of year for temporary ice rinks up and down the country. This time-honoured practice has led us to design specific cooling solutions for seasonal projects nationwide. Whether you simply require our low temperature chiller units or a full installation, we can assist.

Our expertise allows us to not only help construct ice rinks from scratch but also sustain them while in use. Initially, glycol and water is mixed and pumped into the ice rink pipe work. Additional water is then sprayed onto the ice rink matting causing it to freeze, ultimately creating a thick layer of ice. In order to preserve its condition, chillers must be deployed and operating at -12°C, even when the rink itself is not being used.

Not only are we reliable providers of safe cooling equipment, we will also adapt solutions to fit your exact requirements and application size.
