Venue suitability: The SN-258F suits high-volume bars, aged-care and healthcare kitchens, and seafood or buffet displays where soft, chewable granular ice is preferred. Its 250 kg daily output and 125 kg bin serve larger sites; smaller venues with lighter demand can consider the 120 kg SN-128F instead.
Compare it with the full Self Contained Ice Makers range, or browse more Blizzard refrigeration to match your kitchen.
Installation & delivery: The SN-258F runs on a standard 240V 10A power point and needs a nearby water supply and drain plus clearance for air-cooled ventilation. It is backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty and dispatched Australia-wide.
Frequently asked questions
How much ice does the Blizzard SN-258F make per day? It produces up to 250 kg of granular ice every 24 hours under normal operating conditions.
How much ice can it store? The integrated bin holds 125 kg, buffering supply through busy periods.
What type of ice does it make? It makes soft, high-hardness granular (nugget-style) ice that is easy to chew and well suited to drinks, displays and healthcare settings.
Is the SN-258F air-cooled or water-cooled? It is air-cooled, so it needs adequate ventilation clearance around the unit.
What power supply does it need? It connects to a standard single-phase 240V 10A power point.
What warranty is included? It comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, subject to regular water-filter maintenance and descaling.
2 Years Parts and Labour Warranty
All Ice machines MUST be maintained to ensure high performance.
The cartridge on the water filter system needs to be replaced every 6 months and the unit must be de-scaled to clean the refrigeration evaporator plate.
This maintains the quality of the ice shape and thickness.
This program will extend machine life, improve ice quality, reduce bacterial growth risks, and ensure food safety compliance.
If your ice machine is not maintained, your warranty may be void.
