Venue suitability: Best for high-volume sites that get through large amounts of soft ice - hospitals and aged care, bars and clubs, cafes and QSR outlets - where the 125kg bin and 250kg daily output keep pace with demand. Its freestanding cabinet suits back-of-house or service areas; it is oversized for a small cafe with light ice use.

Installation & delivery: Runs on a standard single-phase 220-240V/50Hz, 10A outlet and is air-cooled, so no water-cooling plumbing is needed; allow clearance around the cabinet for airflow. Dispatched Australia-wide. Backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
