Key Features

1. Ice Crushing Performance:
   • Converts 2 kg of cube or dice ice into crushed ice granules in 20 seconds, with a maximum output of 6 kg per minute (144 kg/24 hours).
   • Adjustable mechanical control allows selection of fine, medium, or coarse granule textures, catering to various applications like cocktails, seafood displays, or chilled food presentations.
   • Compatible with all types of cube ice, making it versatile for use with any cube ice maker.
2. Design and Build:
   • Compact Stainless Steel Design: 18/10 stainless steel construction ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and compliance with EEC hygienic and safety regulations. Compact footprint (245 mm x 430 mm) suits table-top or counter-top placement in bars, cafes, or kitchens.
   • Removable Granule Tray: Includes a GN 1/3 H 150 mm tray with 3.5 kg capacity for easy collection and transfer of crushed ice. Removable drip tray enhances hygiene and simplifies cleaning.
   • Quiet Operation: Powered by a maintenance-free electric motor, designed for low noise, making it suitable for front-of-house use in bars or restaurants.
3. Ease of Use:
   • Simple Operation: Lift the filling cover, load ice cubes, and crush ice with a simple mechanical adjustment for granule size. Crushed ice is collected in a removable container via a secure taking flap.
   • Safety Mechanisms: Microswitches on the lid and door prevent operation when open, ensuring user safety.
   • Easy Cleaning: Stainless steel construction and removable tray facilitate easy cleaning, maintaining hygiene standards in commercial environments.
4. Installation:
   • Requires professional installation as the device is delivered without a power plug. Must be connected to a 230–240 V, 50 Hz, single-phase power supply with a neutral wire and solid earth ground.
   • No water supply or drainage required, as it processes pre-made cube ice, simplifying setup compared to ice makers.

Applications

• Ideal for bars, hotels, cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants requiring crushed ice for cocktails (e.g., mojitos, margaritas), seafood displays, or chilled food presentations.
• Suitable for small to medium-scale operations where crushed ice is needed in moderate quantities, but a dedicated flake ice machine is not justified.
• Enhances visual appeal in beverage preparation and food displays, maintaining product freshness and presentation quality.

Operational Considerations

• Environmental Conditions: Operates effectively in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C, suitable for most commercial kitchen or bar environments.
• Installation Requirements: Requires a stable, level surface and professional electrical connection. No water or drainage connections needed, as it processes pre-made ice cubes.
• Maintenance: Regular cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces and granule tray is recommended to maintain hygiene. Use commercial food-grade sanitizers for weekly cleaning. No specific water filter required, as it does not produce ice.
• Compatibility: Works with any cube ice maker, such as Scotsman supercube or dice cube models (e.g., AC 87, MXG M 638 AS), allowing flexibility in pairing with existing equipment.
