The Blizzard BIM90 is a seriously practical bit of kit. It’s a no-nonsense machine that prioritises what matters: output and  reliability.

  • Pros: The integrated storage bin is massive, a real advantage for busy service.
  • Cons: At 66kg, it's a two-person job to install and  isn't easily moved.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Siren, a popular seafood restaurant in Whitby, needed to upgrade from their smaller, unreliable ice machine which couldn't cope with their summer tourist traffic.

"We were constantly running to the supermarket for bags of ice on busy weekends; it was a nightmare. The Blizzard BIM90 has completely sorted that out. It just keeps on going, and  the large integral bin means we've always got plenty in reserve for both the bar and  our fresh fish display."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Their upgrade has eliminated mid-service ice shortages, allowing staff to focus entirely on food quality and  customer service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface to allow for proper operation and  drainage.
  • Leave at least 15cm of clearance around the sides and  back for proper air circulation to prevent overheating.
  • Connect to a mains water supply and  a suitable gravity drain. A water filter is highly recommended to reduce limescale.
  • Plug into a standard 13 amp socket – no special electrical work required.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly remove and  clean the front air filter; a clogged filter is the most common cause of poor performance.
  • Activate the automatic cleaning cycle every few months (or more frequently in hard water areas) using a suitable descaling solution.
  • Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and  mild detergent to keep it looking professional.
  • Don't forget to regularly clean and  sanitise the storage bin and  ice scoop to maintain hygiene standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ice Machine

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a commercial ice maker.

Output vs. Storage

How much ice do you use on your busiest day? Make sure the machine's 24-hour production can meet that demand, and  that the storage bin is large enough to handle peak service times.

Ice Type Matters

This machine produces classic cubed ice, perfect for drinks. Other machines make flaked, bullet, or gourmet ice. Choose the type that best suits your menu and  presentation.

Space & Ventilation

Ice machines generate heat and  need airflow. Measure your space carefully, ensuring you leave enough clearance around the unit for its ventilation system to work effectively.

Water & Drainage

All automatic ice makers need a mains water connection and  a drain. Ensure you have plumbing in place. Gravity drains are simplest, but you may need a drain pump if the drain is higher than the outlet.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like automatic cleaning cycles and  removable filters. A machine that's easy to maintain is one that will last longer and  produce better quality ice.

Effortless Hygiene: How the Automatic Cleaning Cycle Works for You

Ever wondered what the 'Automatic Cleaning Cycle' button actually does? Think of it as a built-in dishwasher cycle for your ice machine's insides. Over time, water systems can build up limescale and  other mineral deposits, which can affect the taste of your ice and  the machine's efficiency. Instead of you having to manually flush the system with cleaning solutions, this function automates the process. With the press of a button, it circulates water and  cleaning solution through all the internal pipes and  components, flushing away impurities and  keeping everything hygienic. It’s a simple feature that saves a huge amount of time on maintenance and  ensures every cube of ice is as fresh and  clean as the first.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Pubs & Cocktail Bars: Effortlessly handle high-volume drink orders from happy hour to last orders without a single ice-run.
  • Hotels & Event Venues: Perfect for supplying bar areas, room service, and  catering for large functions and  weddings.
  • Large Restaurants: A reliable source for chilling drinks and  keeping fresh seafood or salad bars perfectly presented.
  • Fish & Chip Shops or Fishmongers: Ideal for keeping the day's catch pristine and  fresh on display beds for customers.
