    A 15kg ice maker suits a small cafe or bar: enough ice for iced coffees, soft drinks and spirits through a normal day, in a machine that fits under a counter.

    An ice machine 15kg in size is usually self-contained, with the storage bin built in. A 15kg ice maker machine is the common step up from the smallest units. See under bench ice makers and counter top ice makers.

    These are the top FAQs for 15kg Ice Maker

    Is 15kg a day enough for a cafe?

    For a cafe selling iced drinks in moderate numbers, usually. If iced coffee is a core line in summer, look at 25kg or 35kg machines.

    The full range is in commercial ice machines.

    How long does it take to make a full batch?

    Production is quoted per 24 hours, and the machine makes ice in cycles through the day. It does not produce the full figure in one go, which is why storage capacity matters as much as output.

    See commercial ice storage bins.

    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.

    See commercial ice storage bins and modular ice makers.

    Where should a small ice machine sit?

    Away from cooking equipment, with clearance for the condenser and access to water and drainage. Heat is the main thing that cuts production.

    Ice is carried to the bar in commercial ice caddies.
