Product Description
The Halcyon ICE 130 is a self-contained cube ice maker designed for commercial operations where consistent ice production is a daily operational requirement. It produces clear 14-gram cylindrical ice cubes that are slow to melt, making them practical across a wide range of bar, hospitality, and food service applications. The unit includes an integrated storage bin, keeping the overall footprint compact for a machine at this output level.
At 130kg of ice production per 24 hours, this is the highest-output model in the Halcyon range and is built to sustain production through heavy daily demand. The slow-melting cube format performs well in high-turnover drink service, where ice dilution is a concern. The generously insulated storage bin helps preserve ice quality between service periods, reducing waste and maintaining stock through quieter periods without the ice breaking down prematurely.
From a maintenance and hygiene standpoint, the machine has been designed with practical servicing in mind. The key internal components — including the spray curtain, water jets, and cup holders — are removable without tools using a squeeze-and-release mechanism. This makes routine cleaning and sanitising straightforward, which matters in environments subject to environmental health inspection. Practical operational advantages include:
- Removable components for easier in-house cleaning and sanitising
- Well-insulated storage bin reduces ice melt between service periods
- Stainless steel construction supports durability in commercial environments
- Uses a current-compliant refrigerant, supporting lower running costs
- Self-contained design keeps installation relatively straightforward
Installation requires a mains water supply, drainage, and an appropriate electrical connection. In hard water areas, a compatible inline water filter is strongly recommended — not fitting one can affect the machine's performance over time and may have warranty implications. The unit should be positioned to allow adequate airflow for the condenser to operate efficiently; installation in poorly ventilated or excessively warm spaces will reduce output and place additional load on the refrigeration system.
The ICE 130 is best suited to hotels, busy bars, event catering operations, and larger restaurants where ice demand is consistently high throughout the day. For smaller operations with moderate ice requirements, a lower-output model from the range would be a more cost-appropriate choice. For very high-volume sites running multiple service points simultaneously, it is worth discussing whether additional capacity or a separate storage solution is advisable.
If you are unsure whether this machine matches your expected ice demand or want to talk through installation requirements for your site, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A useful rule of thumb is to estimate ice usage per cover or per drink served, then factor in any storage losses and peak-period demand. A busy cocktail bar or hotel with high daytime and evening service will often need more ice than the headline figure suggests once ambient temperature and frequency of bin access are accounted for. If you are borderline, it is worth discussing your service profile with us before ordering, as undersizing an ice machine is a common and costly mistake.
- In hard water areas a suitable inline water filter is strongly recommended — scale build-up inside the ice-making components is one of the most common causes of reduced output and premature component failure in ice machines. Failing to fit an appropriate filter where the water supply requires one may also affect your warranty cover, so it is worth checking your local water hardness before installation.
- You will need a mains cold water supply, a suitable drain connection, and an appropriate electrical supply at the point of installation. The machine also requires adequate ventilation around the condenser — avoid positioning it in a confined or unusually warm space, as restricted airflow will reduce ice output and increase wear on the refrigeration system. If you are fitting the machine into a tight back-bar or under-counter space, it is worth confirming clearances with us beforehand.
