Product Description
The Halcyon ICE 45 is a self-contained cube ice maker producing clear, 14-gram cylindrical ice cubes at a rate of up to 45kg per 24 hours. The machine stores ice in an insulated internal bin, making it a compact, single-unit solution that requires no separate storage chest. It is built from stainless steel throughout and uses a current-generation refrigerant that meets UK and EU environmental requirements.
In a working environment, this output level suits lower-to-moderate demand — a small café bar, a hotel lounge, a modest restaurant or a staff catering area where ice is needed consistently but not in high volume. The cylindrical cube format melts slowly, which is practical for drinks service where dilution needs to be kept in check. During a busy lunch or evening session, the machine continues to produce and replenish the bin, provided demand does not consistently outpace the daily production rate.
A few practical benefits worth noting for operators considering this unit:
- Slow-melting cylindrical cubes reduce dilution in drinks service
- Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and longevity in commercial use
- Removable spray curtain, water jets and cup holders simplify cleaning and sanitising
- Insulated storage bin retains ice quality during quieter periods
- Self-contained design avoids the need for a separate storage bin or remote condenser
Installation is straightforward — the machine requires a mains water connection, a suitable drain, and a standard electrical supply. In areas with hard water, a water filter is strongly recommended and in some cases required to protect internal components and maintain the warranty. This is worth factoring into the total installation cost before purchase.
The ICE 45 is well suited to smaller operations where ice demand is steady but not heavy. Sites running high-volume drinks service, busy cocktail bars, or large banqueting operations are likely to find the daily output limiting and would be better served by a higher-capacity model. For sites with very modest requirements, lighter-duty options are available lower in the range.
If you are unsure whether this output level matches your service volume, or have questions about water supply and filtration in your area, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on your covers and drinks volume. As a rough guide, a busy bar serving cocktails or high ice-usage drinks can get through 45kg quite quickly during an evening service alone. The ICE 45 is most appropriate for smaller operations — a café, a hotel lounge, or a modest restaurant — where ice demand is consistent but not intensive. If you are running a high-turnover drinks operation, it is worth discussing a higher-output machine before committing.
- In hard water areas, a suitable inline water filter is strongly recommended and may be required to protect the machine's internal components — failure to fit one in these areas can affect your warranty. Even in moderate water hardness areas, a filter helps extend the service life of the water system and keeps ice quality consistent. It is worth checking your local water hardness before installation and budgeting for a filter if needed.
- The ICE 45 needs a mains cold water inlet, a gravity or pumped drain connection, and a standard single-phase electrical supply. Being self-contained, it does not require a remote condenser or separate storage bin, which keeps the installation relatively simple. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation, as restricted airflow affects ice production efficiency — particularly in warmer kitchen environments.
