Polar U-Series Spray Ice Maker 85kg Daily Output

The Polar U-Series is a self-contained spray ice maker producing bullet-style ice through a spray freezing process, where water is applied directly onto refrigerated fingers to build clear, dense ice pieces. With a daily output of up to 85kg and an integral storage bin, it is designed to run continuously through service without the need for manual loading or an external ice storage unit.

In busy licensed environments — bars, hotel beverage stations, function suites — consistent ice availability is a genuine operational concern. The spray-freeze method produces ice that is harder and slower to melt than ice made by traditional flooding methods, which helps reduce drink dilution during long service periods. The machine refills automatically from the mains water supply, so staff do not need to monitor water levels during service.

• Spray-freeze process produces clear, dense bullet ice with slower melt rate
• Automatic mains water fill removes the need for manual intervention
• Integral storage bin holds a practical reserve of ice ahead of service
• Front-mounted controls keep operation straightforward for bar staff
• Built-in automatic cleaning cycle supports consistent ice hygiene

The unit is self-contained, meaning the ice-making and storage functions are housed in a single cabinet. It uses R290 refrigerant and is constructed in stainless steel throughout. At 85kg in weight, it will need a stable, level surface capable of bearing the load — worth confirming before positioning. Ventilation clearance around the unit should be maintained for reliable condenser performance, particularly in enclosed back-bar installations. The machine connects to a standard mains water supply and requires an appropriate drainage point nearby.

This model is well suited to medium-volume bars, hotel bars, and event catering operations where a daily output in the 60–85kg range comfortably meets demand. Smaller cafés or low-throughput sites may find a lower-output unit more economical to run, while high-volume venues producing cocktails or covering large banqueting operations at pace may need to look at higher-capacity alternatives in the range.

If you are unsure whether this output level matches your service volumes, or have questions about positioning and installation requirements, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
