An 11kg ice maker makes about 11kg of ice a day, which covers a cafe serving iced drinks in small numbers, an office, a small bar pouring spirits or a food truck.
It is the smallest machine in the range, and at this size it usually sits on a bench or under a counter rather than in a plant room. See counter top ice makers and under bench ice makers for the formats.

These are the top FAQs for 11kg Ice Maker
Who is an 11kg machine right for?
A cafe serving iced drinks in small numbers, an office, or a bar that only needs ice for spirits. If you fill jugs or use ice for display, it will not keep up.
How much ice does a venue actually use?
More than most operators expect. A single iced drink uses a surprising amount, and summer pushes consumption up sharply. Count drinks at your busiest hour rather than averaging the week.
The full range is in commercial ice machines.
Is the rated output what I will actually get?
Not always. Output figures are measured at a set room and water temperature, and production drops as the kitchen gets hotter. In a small venue that margin matters, because there is no second machine to fall back on.
Check the rating conditions on the product page and allow headroom for summer.
What plumbing does an ice machine need?
A water supply, a drain and a filter. Water quality affects both ice clarity and machine life, and most manufacturers require filtration to keep the warranty valid.
Filters and fittings are in commercial ice machine accessories.
Is the bin included?
Self-contained machines include storage; modular heads do not and sit on a separate bin. Storage capacity is listed separately from daily output, and it is the figure that decides whether you run out during a rush.
Can I use a domestic ice maker instead?
Not for a food business running all day. Domestic units are not built for continuous production or commercial cleaning requirements.
