Expert Review and  Insights

The build quality is spot on for the price point, and  the focus on low running costs is a massive plus for small businesses. It’s not going to service a nightclub, but for most cafés, pubs, or small restaurants, it’s a reliable and  sensible investment.

  • Pros: The built-in cleaning cycle is a huge time-saver for busy staff.
  • Cons: Its air-cooled system may struggle slightly in extremely hot, poorly ventilated kitchens.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Tipsy Fox', a popular gastropub in York, needed to upgrade from their old, unreliable ice machine that couldn't keep up with their new cocktail menu.

"We were constantly running out of ice on weekends, which was just embarrassing. The Simag is a different beast entirely. It's quiet, consistent, and  just sits under the bar getting the job done. Our bartenders are chuffed, and  service is so much smoother."

Samuel Jones – General Manager

Since installing the Simag SDH24AS, the pub has eliminated ice shortages, increasing their cocktail service capacity by an estimated 30% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure it's placed on a flat, stable surface with at least 15cm of clearance around the vents for proper airflow.
  • Connect the provided water inlet hose to a potable mains water supply.
  • Make sure the gravity drain hose has a continuous downward slope to an open drain.
  • Plug it into a standard 13-amp socket and  switch on the main power button to begin the first cycle.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth to keep it looking smart.
  • Empty and  clean the ice storage bin once a week using a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Run the built-in cleaning cycle at least once a month (more in hard water areas) to prevent limescale.
  • Regularly check and  clean the air filter to ensure the machine is cooling efficiently.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ice Cuber Machine

Not sure which ice maker is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Cube Shape & Size

Thimble cubes, like the ones this machine makes, are great all-rounders that cool drinks quickly. Consider if you need gourmet-style solid cubes or flaked ice for other applications.

Production vs. Storage

Check the 24-hour production rate against your busiest day. A self-contained ice maker like this is great for steady use, but venues with huge peaks might need a separate storage bin.

Air-Cooled vs. Water-Cooled

Air-cooled units are easier to install and  more energy-efficient, but need good ventilation. Water-cooled models are better for hot, tight spaces but use more water.

Placement and  Space

Measure your space carefully! Undercounter models are fantastic space-savers, but remember to leave enough room around them for air to circulate properly.

Water Filtration

In hard water areas, a water filter is a must. It protects your machine from limescale, improves ice quality, and  extends the life of the components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of ice does this machine produce?

A: It produces hollow, thimble-shaped ice cubes, which are fantastic for quickly cooling down drinks in bars, pubs, and  cafes.

Q: Is this machine difficult to install?

A: Not at all. It requires a standard 13-amp plug socket, a mains water connection, and  a nearby drain. Most competent people can set it up, but we always recommend a professional plumber for peace of mind.

Q: How much ice can it store at one time?

A: The integrated storage bin is designed to hold a portion of the daily production, ensuring a ready supply. The capacity is optimised to match the 24kg/24hr production rate.

Q: Is the Simag SDH24AS ice machine noisy?

A: It's designed for commercial environments and  operates at a reasonable noise level, similar to a domestic freezer. It shouldn't be disruptive in a typical bar or kitchen setting.

Q: What does 'self-contained' mean?

A: A self-contained ice maker means the ice-making mechanism and  the storage bin are all in one single unit, making it a compact, all-in-one solution.

Q: Can I use this in a mobile catering van?

A: As long as you can provide a stable, level surface and  a consistent water and  power supply, it's certainly possible. However, it's primarily designed for static locations.

Q: How often do I need to run the cleaning cycle?

A: We recommend running it at least once a month. If you're in a hard water area, you may need to do it more frequently to prevent limescale build-up.

Q: What is R290 refrigerant?

A: R290 (Propane) is a highly efficient, natural refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a much more environmentally friendly choice than older refrigerants.
