One-stop solution for all your professional commercial kitchen, catering, and bakery equipment needs
The YD-SK-500P is a modular commercial cube ice machine built for restaurants, bars, hotels, and foodservice operators that need a dependable daily ice supply without tying up excess floor space. The ice-making head sits on a matching storage bin, giving you a complete, self-contained ice station that delivers up to 500 lb of cube ice every 24 hours.
Keep beverages, seafood displays, and prep stations supplied through long shifts. The YD-SK-500P is rated to produce 500 lb (227 kg) of cube ice per 24 hours, a volume that supports continuous service in mid-volume dining rooms and bar programs.
A rush at lunch or last call does not have to drain your supply. The integrated storage bin holds 275 lb (125 kg) of ice, so staff can scoop freely while the head unit continues to replenish stock in the background.
Two separate components make delivery, positioning, and routine service more manageable than a single heavy cabinet. The main machine weighs 66 kg net and the ice bin 45 kg net, allowing a small crew to move each piece through standard kitchen doorways before assembling on site. Assembled footprint is 760 × 830 mm with a height of 1718 mm.
Order the configuration that matches your kitchen rather than adapting the kitchen to the machine. The YD-SK-500P is available with either an air-cooled or water-cooled condenser, runs on 220 V 50/60 Hz or 110 V 60 Hz, draws 1240 W, and uses R404A refrigerant.
Each unit ships as two individually boxed components: the main machine at 845 × 750 × 620 mm (70 kg gross) and the ice bin at 850 × 890 × 1055 mm (50 kg gross). Separate cartons help reduce handling damage and simplify receiving for both single-site buyers and distributors.

How much ice does a 500 lb commercial cube ice machine really make in a day?
The YD-SK-500P is rated at 500 lb (227 kg) of cube ice per 24 hours. Rated output is generally measured under standard test conditions, and real-world production typically varies with ambient air temperature, incoming water temperature, and how often the bin door is opened. When sizing equipment, many buyers plan with a margin above their expected daily demand rather than relying on the rated figure alone.
Is a 500 lb modular ice machine enough for a restaurant or bar?
In many cases, a 500 lb per day unit suits mid-volume restaurants, bars, and cafés, but the right answer depends on your menu and traffic. A common approach is to estimate ice use per guest or per drink, multiply by peak-day covers, and compare the total to the daily output. The 275 lb (125 kg) bin also matters, since it determines how much ice is on hand during a rush.
Should I choose an air-cooled or water-cooled commercial ice machine?
The YD-SK-500P is offered with either an air or water condenser, so the choice comes down to your site. Air-cooled units generally need adequate clearance and perform better in cooler, well-ventilated rooms. Water-cooled units typically handle hot or confined kitchens more comfortably but use additional water and may be restricted by local codes. Review your ambient conditions, utility costs, and regulations before deciding.
What do I need to prepare before installing a modular cube ice machine?
Confirm floor space for the assembled unit (760 × 830 × 1718 mm), a potable water connection, a nearby floor drain, and a dedicated electrical supply matching the ordered voltage (220 V 50/60 Hz or 110 V 60 Hz). Installation typically also calls for a level surface and clearance around the unit for airflow and service access. Always follow the user manual and local plumbing and electrical regulations.
How often should a commercial cube ice maker be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on water quality, usage, and local health requirements, but many operators schedule a thorough cleaning and sanitizing of the ice-making components and storage bin at least every few months, with more frequent wipe-downs of the bin and scoop area. Using a water filter can generally reduce scale buildup. Follow the user manual and local food-safety regulations for the exact procedure and approved cleaning agents.
Can I buy the YD-SK-500P commercial ice machine in bulk for multiple locations or resale?
Yes. The head unit and ice bin ship as separate cartons, and a 20-foot container holds 21 units while a 40-foot container holds 42 units, which helps chains and distributors plan consolidated shipments. Pricing, minimum order quantities, lead times, and packaging options vary by order, so please Contact Us or Request a Quote with your destination and quantity for a tailored offer.
Whether you are outfitting a single restaurant, standardizing equipment across a chain, or sourcing inventory as a distributor, our team can help you confirm the right condenser type, voltage, and order quantity for your market.
