- Cons: Being a modular unit, it requires a separate storage bin purchase.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Catch, a busy fishmonger on the Brighton seafront, needed to upgrade from multiple smaller ice machines that couldn't keep up with summer demand for their fresh displays.
"We were constantly running out of ice on sunny weekends, which is our busiest time. The Simag unit is relentless; it just keeps producing. Our displays have never looked better, and we're not constantly worrying about the ice."
David Chen – Owner, The Salty Catch
The single machine streamlined their operation, reducing staff time spent managing ice and ensuring a 100% consistently fresh display, even on bank holidays.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the machine is placed on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration and ensure proper drainage.
- Connect to a mains water supply. We highly recommend using a water filter to improve ice quality and reduce scale.
- Requires a gravity drain lower than the machine's outlet. If this isn't possible, a condensate pump will be needed.
- Plug into a standard 13-amp socket – no special wiring is required.
- Place the unit on top of a compatible ice storage bin, ensuring a snug and secure fit.
Keeping It Going
- Regularly clean the front air filter by brushing or vacuuming away dust to maintain cooling efficiency.
- Wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth and food-safe stainless steel cleaner.
- Descale the water system every 4-6 months, or more frequently in hard water areas, to prevent build-up.
- Sanitise the interior and any parts that come into contact with water and ice according to the manufacturer's schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a modular ice machine?
A: It's just the ice-making head unit. You need to purchase a separate, compatible storage bin for it to sit on and collect the ice.
Q: How much ice is 320kg, really?
A: It's a huge amount, enough to fill around 32 large 10kg buckets of ice every single day. It's designed for very high-volume commercial use.
Q: Is flaked ice the same as crushed ice?
A: They're similar, but flaked ice is typically softer and made from thin sheets of ice. It moulds better, making it ideal for displays and therapeutic use.
Q: Does this machine need a water filter?
A: While it can operate without one, using a water filter is highly recommended to reduce limescale build-up, protect the machine, and improve ice quality.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Due to the need for water and drainage connections, we strongly recommend that a qualified commercial catering engineer performs the installation.
Q: How often should I clean the air filter?
A: In a busy kitchen environment, checking and cleaning the front air filter every two weeks is a good habit to maintain performance and efficiency.
Q: What does 'air-cooled' mean?
A: The machine uses the ambient air in the room to cool its refrigeration system. It's important to keep the front vents clear and unobstructed.
Q: Is the R290 refrigerant environmentally friendly?
A: Yes, R290 (propane) is a natural refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a much greener choice than older refrigerants.

The choice of robust components like the high-grade stainless steel exterior and the use of eco-friendly R290 refrigerant shows a commitment to both longevity and modern environmental standards.

Ever noticed how most fridges and ice machines need a bit of 'breathing room' at the sides and back? That's for air circulation. The Simag SPH405AS is different thanks to its clever front-vented design. Think of it like a car's radiator – all the air it needs to cool itself is drawn in and pushed out from the grille at the front. This means you can build it right into a counter or place it snugly between other pieces of equipment without worrying about it overheating. It’s a brilliant feature for tight kitchens where every inch of floor space is a precious commodity.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fishmongers & Supermarkets: For keeping fresh seafood displays perfectly chilled and looking their best all day long.
- High-Volume Cocktail Bars: Ideal for crafting countless crushed ice cocktails like mojitos and juleps without delay.
- Healthcare & Laboratories: Provides consistent, high-quality flaked ice essential for medical and research applications.
- Large Restaurants & Hotels: Perfect for buffet displays, salad bars, and keeping ingredients cold during prep.
