  • Pros: The built-in cleaning cycle is a huge plus for busy venues.
  • Cons: Being air-cooled, it needs good surrounding airflow to perform at its best.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Jug, a popular cocktail bar in central Manchester, found their old ice machine couldn't keep up with their growing clientele, especially on weekends. They upgraded to the Simag SDH84 to guarantee a constant supply of quality ice for their signature drinks.

"We used to have to buy in bags of ice on a Friday night, which was a nightmare. The Simag machine has been brilliant; it just keeps going, and  the ice quality is fantastic. We haven't been caught short once since we installed it."

Ben Carter – Bar Manager at The Copper Jug

The upgrade completely eliminated their reliance on external ice suppliers, saving them an estimated £100 per week during peak season and  ensuring service was never compromised.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is on a level, stable surface to prevent vibration and  noise.
  • Leave at least 15cm of space around the air vents for proper ventilation.
  • Connect to a potable mains water supply using the provided hoses.
  • A gravity drain is required, so ensure the outlet is lower than the machine's drain point.
  • Run one full cycle and  discard the first batch of ice before use.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the exterior and  the inside of the storage bin daily with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Use the built-in cleaning cycle at least once a month, or more in hard water areas.
  • Check and  clean the air filter regularly to prevent dust build-up and  maintain efficiency.
  • Schedule a professional de-scaling service annually to keep internal parts in top condition.

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.

Production Capacity

Estimate how much ice you use on your busiest day. It's always better to have a bit more capacity than you need, so an 82kg model is great for high-volume sites.

Ice Type

Thimble or 'hollow' cubes, like this machine makes, are fantastic all-rounders. They cool drinks quickly and  are great for blended cocktails as they break down easily.

Footprint & Ventilation

Check the dimensions to ensure it will fit your space. Remember that air-cooled machines like this undercounter ice maker 82kg unit need good airflow around them to work efficiently.

Water & Drainage

All commercial ice machines need a water inlet and  a drain. A self-contained ice maker 82kg model requires a gravity drain, so the waste pipe must be lower than the machine's outlet.

Self-Contained vs. Modular

A self-contained unit is an all-in-one solution, perfect for most bars and  restaurants. Modular units have separate heads and  bins, designed for extremely high-volume industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: It can produce up to 82 kilograms of ice over a 24-hour period, which is ideal for most busy commercial venues.

Q: What does 'self-contained' mean?

A: It means the ice-making mechanism and  the storage bin are all housed within one single unit, making it a compact and  tidy solution.

Q: What shape are the ice cubes?

A: This machine produces hollow, thimble-shaped ice cubes, which are a classic choice for cooling drinks quickly.

Q: Does it need a lot of space around it?

A: Yes, as an air-cooled machine, it needs good ventilation. We recommend leaving at least 15cm of clearance around the sides and  back for airflow.

Q: What kind of power supply does it need?

A: It runs on a standard 13 amp supply, so you can just plug it into a regular mains socket.

Q: Do I need a water filter?

A: While not essential, using a water filter is highly recommended, especially in hard water areas. It will improve ice quality and  reduce limescale build-up.

Q: How often should I use the cleaning system?

A: We recommend running the cleaning cycle at least once a month to keep the machine hygienic and  in good working order.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic plumbing knowledge, as it requires connecting a water inlet and  a gravity drain. However, we always recommend a qualified engineer for commercial installations.

Why the Built-In Cleaning System is a Lifesaver

Think of it like a self-cleaning oven for your ice maker. With the press of a button, it circulates a cleaning or descaling solution through the entire water system, flushing out limescale and  biofilm that can build up over time. This not only saves your staff valuable time but also ensures your ice is always hygienic and  free from any unwanted tastes. It's a simple, clever feature that protects your investment and  your reputation.
