Ice makers
Commercial ice makers are essential for any bar, restaurant, café, or hotel that serves cold drinks or requires ice for food prep. Our range spans 20kg to 100kg daily output, with storage capacities matched to your service volume.
Whether you need compact ice production for a small café or high-capacity output for a busy hotel bar, you'll find air-cooled units that integrate seamlessly into your kitchen layout.
Cube ice makers produce 20–100 kg of ice daily, suited to bars, restaurants, hotels and cafés requiring consistent ice supply. Choose by daily output volume and storage capacity; air-cooled models range from €1,937 to €4,477 including VAT.

When choosing an ice maker, consider your daily ice demand, available counter or under-counter space, and whether you need continuous production during peak service. Most commercial models feature modular storage bunkers that keep ice readily available without constant production cycles.
Look at production rates (kg per 24 hours) and storage capacity together—a 25kg/24h machine with 6kg storage suits steady daytime service, whilst high-volume venues benefit from 50kg+ output with larger bunkers. Air-cooled units are standard in commercial kitchens and require only standard electrical and water connections.
- Daily ice volume needed (account for peak service hours)
- Available floor or counter space, and height clearance
- Storage bunker capacity relative to production rate
- Water supply and drainage access points
- Cleaning and maintenance schedule requirements
