This modular commercial cube ice machine produces up to 420 lb (191 kg) of cube ice every 24 hours and holds up to 230 lb (105 kg) in its matching storage bin, giving restaurants, bars, hotels, and foodservice operators a steady supply of cube ice for beverages, displays, and prep. The two-piece head-and-bin configuration, a choice of condenser type, and a choice of voltage specification make it straightforward to specify for both local installations and export projects.
Keep bar wells, soda stations, and prep areas supplied during lunch and dinner rushes. Rated at 420 lb (191 kg) of cube ice per 24 hours, the ice-making head provides mid-volume operations with a dependable daily output from one footprint.
Cube ice produced during quieter hours builds up in the 230 lb (105 kg) bin, so staff can scoop from a ready reserve when orders surge instead of waiting for the next harvest. The bin cabinet sits directly under the head, keeping the assembled unit to a 560 × 830 mm floor footprint.
Specify the condenser that matches your back-of-house conditions. The air-cooled version is intended for kitchens with adequate ventilation, while the water-cooled version is available for hot or enclosed spaces. Both configurations use R404A refrigerant and are rated at 1100 W.
Each unit is built for a single electrical standard and is available in either 220V 50/60Hz or 110V 60Hz. Buyers select the voltage at the time of ordering, so the machine arrives ready to connect to the existing supply in North America or other regions without conversion equipment.
As a modular cube ice machine, the ice-making head (52 kg net) and the storage bin (35 kg net) are packed and shipped separately, then assembled on site. Lighter individual components are easier to move through doorways, up service lifts, and into tight kitchen layouts than a single-piece unit of the same capacity. Fully assembled, the system measures 560 × 830 × 1718 mm (approx. 22 × 32.7 × 67.6 in).

Is a 420 lb cube ice machine the right size for my restaurant or bar?
It depends on your peak-day demand rather than your average. A common planning method is to estimate roughly 1.5 to 2 lb of ice per guest for restaurants and more for bars, cocktail lounges, and beverage-focused concepts, then add a margin for growth. With 420 lb of cube ice per 24 hours and a 230 lb bin, this unit generally fits mid-volume operations; if your estimate approaches that figure, consider a larger model or a second machine.
What is the difference between a modular cube ice machine and a self-contained unit?
A modular cube ice machine separates the ice-making head from the storage bin, while a self-contained unit combines both in one cabinet. Modular systems are generally chosen when operators need higher output, want flexibility in bin size, or need to move components through tight doorways separately. This model follows the modular format, with the head and bin shipped as two cartons and assembled on site.
Should I choose an air-cooled or water-cooled cube ice maker?
Your kitchen environment typically decides this. Air-cooled condensers rely on surrounding airflow and generally work well where ambient temperatures are controlled and clearance is available, without a separate cooling water line. Water-cooled condensers are often selected for hot, enclosed, or poorly ventilated rooms, though they consume additional water and may be limited by local codes. Both options are available for this model, so describe your site when you Request a Quote.
What should I prepare before installing a modular ice machine with a separate bin?
Confirm a potable water supply, a nearby drain, and a dedicated electrical circuit that matches the voltage your unit was ordered in—this model is built for either 220V 50/60Hz or 110V 60Hz, not both. Allow clearance around the cabinet for airflow and service access, place the bin on a level floor, and check that the 1718 mm assembled height fits your space. Installation should follow the user manual and local plumbing, electrical, and health regulations.
How do I keep a commercial cube ice machine clean and sanitary?
Cleaning intervals depend on water quality, ambient conditions, and usage, but many operators run a full cleaning and sanitizing cycle at least twice a year, more often in hard-water areas. Between cycles, wipe the bin interior, sanitize the scoop, replace water filters on schedule, and keep the condenser free of dust and grease. Always follow the user manual and local food-safety regulations for ice-handling equipment.
Can I order this modular cube ice machine in bulk for multiple locations or resale?
Yes. The unit is packed as two cartons—head 655 × 750 × 620 mm (56 kg gross) and bin 645 × 890 × 1055 mm (40 kg gross)—and loads 26 sets in a 20GP container or 52 sets in a 40GP container.
