A 50kg ice maker makes ice through the day for spirits, mixers, jugs and iced drinks, and refills the bin between rushes so the bar does not run dry at nine o'clock. An ice machine 50kg in output is the working size for a busy bar, a pub or a restaurant with a full drinks list.

An ice maker 50kg in size may be self-contained or a modular head on a separate bin. See modular ice makers and commercial ice storage bins for the modular option.

These are the top FAQs for 50kg Ice Maker

Self-contained or modular at this size?

Self-contained is simpler and cheaper to install. Modular lets you match a larger bin to the head, or add a second head later as the venue grows.

How much bin storage should I pair with it?

Enough to cover your busiest two hours without a refill. Daily output means nothing if the bin empties at 9pm.

Will it still make the rated output in summer?

Expect less. Manufacturers quote production at a specified ambient and water temperature, and a hot kitchen or warm supply water cuts it. Sizing to the exact number leaves you short on the days you need ice most.

Give the condenser airflow and keep the machine away from cooking equipment.

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.

What does the water filter do?

It removes sediment and reduces scale, which keeps ice clear and protects the machine. Filters have a service interval, and ignoring it is the usual cause of early failure.

Can one machine serve two bars?

It can, with caddies or a dispenser at the second point. Carrying ice across a venue is slow, so a second machine often pays for itself.

See commercial ice dispensers and commercial ice caddies.
