Venue suitability: Aimed at high-demand sites - busy restaurants, hotels, clubs, function centres and catering operations - where the 280kg daily output and 125kg bin keep pace with sustained service. The air/water condenser choice helps in warm plant rooms or poorly ventilated back-of-house. It is more machine than a low-volume cafe needs.

Installation & delivery: Runs on a 240V/10A single-phase outlet and connects to a plumbed water supply; if water-cooled, a drain and water feed are required. Allow clearance for the chosen condenser type. Dispatched Australia-wide. Backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty.

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.
