  • Strong Performance: The daily output is genuinely impressive and  consistent for its size.
  • Placement is Key: Requires plumbing, so its location needs careful pre-planning and  access.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan & Cygnet, a bustling riverside pub in York, found their smaller ice machines couldn't keep up with the summer crowds, leading to panicked trips to the local supermarket.

"We were constantly running out of ice on sunny weekends, which is a nightmare for a pub like ours. The NICE ICE N120 has completely solved that. It just keeps going, and  the big storage bin means we're always prepared."

Ben Carter – General Manager

The measurable outcome was clear: Bar service became at least 20% faster during peak hours as staff were no longer waiting for ice.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure it's placed in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources like ovens.
  • Use the adjustable feet to make sure the unit is perfectly level for correct operation.
  • Connect the water inlet hose to a mains water supply and  ensure the drain hose is correctly positioned.
  • Allow the refrigerant to settle for a few hours before plugging in and  switching on for the first time.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly clean the water filter to prevent limescale build-up and  ensure pure ice.
  • Wipe down the interior of the storage bin weekly with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Clean the air filter and  condenser fins monthly to maintain efficiency and  prevent overheating.
  • Run a full cleaning and  descaling cycle as recommended in the user manual.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ice Maker

Not sure which ice machine is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Calculate Your Usage

Estimate how much ice you use on your busiest day. It's always better to have slightly more capacity than you need, like this 120kg daily production ice maker.

Cube, Flake, or Bullet?

This machine produces classic cubes, perfect for drinks. Flake ice is better for food displays, so choose based on your main use.

Consider Your Kitchen's Heat

This is an air-cooled unit, which is great for most kitchens but needs good ventilation to work efficiently.

Plan Your Placement

Machines with auto-fill need access to a water supply and  a drain. Check your layout and  available connections before you buy.

Match Storage to Your Rush

A large bin like the commercial ice maker with 55kg storage is vital for handling sudden rushes without waiting for new ice to be made.

Look at Running Costs

Check the energy consumption and  refrigerant type (like the eco-friendly R290 in this model) to manage long-term costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much ice does this machine actually produce in a day?

A: It produces a maximum of 120kg over a 24-hour period, which is ideal for high-volume bars, restaurants, and  hotels.

Q: Does the storage bin keep the ice frozen?

A: The bin is very well insulated to slow down melting, but it's not a freezer. It's designed for a high turnover of ice throughout the day.

Q: What kind of water connection does it need?

A: It requires a direct connection to a mains water supply for the automatic fill feature to work.

Q: What are the dimensions of the ice cubes?

A: The ice cubes are approximately 40mm high by 28mm wide, a classic, solid cube shape that is perfect for drinks.

Q: What does the self-diagnosis feature do?

A: It displays error codes on the control panel if it detects a fault, helping an engineer to identify and  fix any problems quickly.

Q: Can I place it in a hot kitchen?

A: For best results, it needs good ventilation and  should be kept away from direct heat sources like ovens. The optimum ambient temperature is around 15°C.

Q: Is it noisy?

A: Like all commercial ice makers, it will make some operational noise from the refrigeration unit and when ice drops into the bin. This is normal.

Q: What is R290 refrigerant?

A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, highly efficient refrigerant with a very low environmental impact compared to older HFC gases.

How the Auto-Fill System Delivers Non-Stop Ice

Think of the auto-fill system as having a permanent assistant whose only job is to top up the machine. Instead of you having to manually pour water in every few hours, the NICE ICE N120 ice maker connects directly to your mains water supply. A sensor inside detects when the water level is low and  automatically draws in more, ensuring the ice-making process never stops. It's like a self-filling kettle for ice – you just set it up, and  it takes care of itself, guaranteeing you have a constant supply without any extra work.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Pubs & Bars: Keep the G&Ts and  cocktails flowing all night without a single ice shortage.
  • Large Restaurants & Hotels: Meet the high demand of a full service, from the kitchen line to guest drinks.
  • Event Venues & Caterers: A reliable, high-capacity source of ice for weddings, conferences, and  large-scale events.
  • Nightclubs & Music Venues: Ensure every drink is perfectly chilled, even on the busiest sold-out nights.
