Liam Sinclair – Refrigeration Expert

  • Practical Engineering: The components are easy to access, making servicing and  cleaning straightforward.
  • Ventilation Needs: As an air-cooled unit, it needs good clearance to operate efficiently.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Dog Inn in Whitby, North Yorkshire, found their old ice machine couldn't cope with the summer tourist season, leading to drink service delays and  frantic runs to the supermarket.

"We were constantly buying bags of ice on bank holiday weekends, which was a nightmare for logistics and  profit. The Simag keeps pace without breaking a sweat, and  the quality of the hollow cubes is perfect for our signature G&Ts."

Robert Mills – Pub Manager

This upgrade completely eliminated the need for external ice purchases, saving the business an estimated £250 per month during peak season and  improving service speed.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the unit on a firm, level surface to ensure it runs correctly and  quietly.
  • This is an air-cooled machine, so leave at least 15cm of clear space around the vents for airflow.
  • Connect to a mains water supply and  ensure the waste pipe has a continuous downward slope for gravity drainage.
  • Simply plug into a standard 13-amp socket – no special wiring is needed.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly use the built-in cleaning system as per the manual to maintain hygiene and  performance.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and  suitable cleaner.
  • Monthly, check and  clean the air filter at the front of the machine to prevent dust build-up and  maintain efficiency.
  • Empty and  clean the storage bin thoroughly at least once a week.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ice Maker

Not sure which ice machine is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider.

Output vs. Storage

Make sure the machine's 24-hour production (kg) meets your peak demand, and  that the built-in storage bin is large enough to hold what you need for a single service.

Cube Shape Matters

Hollow cubes, like those from this machine, cool drinks very quickly but also melt faster. Solid cubes melt slower, which is better for spirits on the rocks.

Air vs. Water Cooled

Air-cooled models are easier and  cheaper to install but need good ventilation. Water-cooled units are quieter and  work better in hot kitchens but use more water.

Footprint & Placement

Always measure your space! Check if you need an undercounter model or a larger free-standing unit, and  ensure you have easy access to water, power, and  a drain.

Cleaning & Hygiene

Look for machines with automatic or built-in cleaning cycles. They make it much easier to meet food safety standards and  keep your ice tasting fresh.

How the Vertical Spray System Creates Superior Ice

Ever wonder how commercial machines get such clear ice? The Simag SDH100 uses a clever Vertical Spray System. Instead of water sitting in a mould and  freezing from the outside-in (which traps air and  impurities), this system sprays water upwards into super-chilled, inverted moulds.

Think of it like building an icicle in reverse. As each layer of water freezes, any minerals or tiny particles in the water don't get trapped – they simply fall back down with gravity. This process results in a harder, clearer, and  purer hollow cube commercial ice maker product. The hollow shape also gives it a larger surface area, meaning it chills your drinks much faster than a solid cube of the same size.
