Ice Crushers

The Ceado G30 is a compact, manually operated ice crusher built for bar and drinks service environments where a reliable, consistent crush is needed quickly and repeatedly. It takes standard ice cubes and reduces them to a uniform texture suited to cocktails, granitas, and slush-style drinks — a straightforward piece of kit designed to do one job well, service after service.

In practice, the G30 holds up well during busy bar service. The all-metal construction — light alloy housing, hopper, lever, and blade holder, paired with a stainless steel container and blade — gives it a durability that plastic-bodied alternatives cannot match under daily commercial use. The lever-operated mechanism and asynchronous motor deliver consistent crushing power without labouring, keeping workflow moving when orders are stacking up.

Practical benefits for operators include:

• All-metal build resists the wear and impact of daily bar service
• Stainless steel blade and container are hygienic and straightforward to clean
• Safety interlock via the lever prevents operation with the unit open
• Compact footprint suits counter or back-bar placement without dominating workspace
• Simple mechanical design keeps maintenance requirements low

Installation requires only a standard mains connection and a stable, level surface — no water supply or drainage is needed. It is worth thinking carefully about placement if the unit will sit close to seated guests, as mechanical ice crushing does generate some noise during operation.

The G30 is well suited to bars, cafés, and kiosks with a regular but moderate demand for crushed ice. It is not designed for continuous, high-frequency throughput across a long service period — operations with that level of demand would be better served by a heavier-duty machine. Equally, lower-output venues will find it a sensibly proportioned choice that avoids over-specifying for actual volume.

If you are weighing up whether the G30 fits your drinks menu and expected service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Sammic TH-1100 is a countertop ice crusher designed for commercial use. It takes cubed or block ice and processes it across four selectable grades of coarseness, giving operators direct control over output depending on the application — from a fine crush suited to cocktails and sorbets through to a coarser grade appropriate for fish display, chilled platters, or buffet presentation.

In a bar or food service environment, consistency of ice texture is a practical concern. The TH-1100 is built to handle repeated use throughout a service period, and its motor runs quietly enough for front-of-house or open-kitchen settings where noise matters. The stainless steel decanter keeps crushed ice hygienic and easy to transfer, and a safety microswitch prevents the machine from running with the decanter removed — a sensible safeguard in a fast-moving service environment.

Key operational advantages include:

• Four crush settings to match output grade to the specific application
• Quiet motor suitable for customer-facing or open-plan environments
• Stainless steel decanter for hygienic handling and straightforward cleaning
• Safety microswitch prevents operation with the decanter removed
• Compact countertop footprint with no fixed installation required

The TH-1100 requires only a standard power supply and a suitable worksurface — there are no drainage, water, or gas connections involved. It is worth noting that this is not an ice maker; a separate ice machine will be needed to supply the ice fed into the crusher. Consider your total crushed ice requirement across a full shift when assessing whether this output level is appropriate, as very high-volume venues may find a heavier-duty unit more practical.

This machine is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, catering operations, fishmongers, and any venue where crushed ice is needed regularly but a large fixed installation is not warranted. If you are unsure whether the TH-1100 matches your service volume or working setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Scotsman Crushman 360 is a floor-standing commercial ice crusher designed to convert cube ice into crushed or granulated ice at adjustable particle sizes. It does not produce ice itself — it processes ice supplied by a separate cube ice machine — making it a practical addition for operations that need more than one ice format without committing to a second production unit. Granule size is adjusted via a straightforward mechanical control, so staff can switch between a coarser crush for drinks service and a finer granulation for blended drinks or food presentation without any tools during service.

In a busy bar or cocktail venue, a consistent crushed ice output from existing cube stock removes a common service bottleneck. The Crushman 360 is built from stainless steel throughout, which is appropriate for a wet, high-contact environment and supports the hygiene standards expected in a licensed or food-service setting. It handles demand well for moderate-volume service — a cocktail bar, a hotel bar, or a busy restaurant. Venues running continuous high-volume crushed ice output across extended service periods should consider whether a purpose-built high-capacity unit would be a better fit for their throughput.

From an operational standpoint, a few features are worth noting:

• Adjustable granule size via mechanical control — no tools needed during service
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene compliance
• Micro switches on both the lid and door prevent operation when open
• GN 1/3 collection tray fits standard storage and pass configurations
• Floor-standing format keeps counter space free in tighter bar or prep areas

Unlike ice-making equipment, the Crushman 360 requires no water supply or drain connection. It needs a suitable power supply and reasonable clearance around the unit. That makes siting considerably simpler than adding a full ice machine, and it can often be positioned in back-bar or prep areas where space is limited.

This unit is well suited to bars, cocktail venues, restaurants, and hospitality operations that already run a cube ice machine and want the flexibility to offer crushed ice formats during service. It is less suited to high-throughput venues where crushed ice is the primary output across a long, continuous service period — in those cases, a heavier-duty dedicated model would be worth considering.

If you are weighing up whether the Crushman 360 fits your current setup and service volumes, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you decide.

The Hoshizaki Wessamat C-105 is a countertop ice crusher designed to process whole ice cubes into crushed ice at a single service point. It is not an ice maker — it sits alongside an existing ice machine and converts that supply into the format needed for cocktails, long drinks, chilled food displays, and similar applications. Compact enough for a bar top or buffet counter, it is built for regular, steady use rather than high-volume continuous crushing across multiple outlets.

In a working bar environment, the C-105 handles the kind of moderate, consistent demand that comes with cocktail service or a buffet station without becoming a bottleneck during a shift. It keeps pace with regular drink orders and processes ice quickly enough that service rarely has to wait. It is not intended for operations requiring large-scale continuous output from several service points simultaneously — for that level of demand, a heavier-duty machine would be a more appropriate fit.

• Processes standard ice cubes quickly to keep pace with drink service
• Compact footprint suits bar tops, buffet counters, and event stations
• Straightforward to operate with minimal training required
• Easy to clean between service periods, supporting good hygiene routines
• Works alongside an existing ice machine — no separate water line needed

Installation is simple. The unit needs a standard mains supply and a stable, level surface with drainage nearby for meltwater. There are no water line connections required for the crusher itself. Ensuring adequate airflow around the unit and that the counter can support its working weight will help maintain reliable performance over time.

The C-105 is well suited to smaller bars, hotel buffet counters, café settings, and event catering operations where crushed ice is needed regularly but not in volumes that would justify a larger dedicated machine. If your operation runs a busy multi-station bar or demands continuous high-volume output, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity alternative would better match your throughput.

If you would like to talk through whether the C-105 is the right fit for your setup, our team is happy to have that conversation before you place an order.

The Caterlite Ice Crusher is a compact, countertop unit designed to produce crushed ice from standard ice cubes or block ice. Built with a stainless steel body and a funnelled feeder, it is straightforward to load and operate, making it a practical addition to bar and beverage service setups where crushed ice is needed on demand rather than in bulk.

In a working environment, this machine suits lower-to-moderate demand — cocktail bars, cafés, juice bars, and smaller hospitality operations where crushed ice is a regular but not constant requirement. It is a manual-feed unit, so throughput depends on how quickly ice is loaded, and it is best suited to operations that can work in short bursts rather than continuous high-volume production.

The practical advantages for an operator include:

• Compact footprint that fits easily on a back bar or prep counter
• Funnelled feeder that reduces spillage and speeds up loading
• Stainless steel construction that is straightforward to wipe down and keep hygienic
• Lightweight build that allows it to be repositioned between service areas if needed
• Clear plastic collection container included, so no additional vessel is required to get started

Installation requirements are minimal. The unit runs from a standard 13A socket and requires no plumbing or fixed installation. At 3kg it is easily moved, and the compact dimensions mean it fits on most counters without taking up significant workspace. There is no drainage requirement.

This machine is well suited to bars, cafés, and event catering operations with moderate crushed ice needs. For sites running continuous service or producing large volumes of crushed ice throughout the day, a higher-capacity unit would be worth considering. If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume, we are happy to help you work that out before you order.

The Beaumont Manual Ice Crusher is a compact, hand-operated unit designed for crushing ice at the bar or service point. It uses a rotating handle mechanism to break down cubed ice into crushed ice suitable for cocktails, blended drinks, and chilled beverages. The body is constructed from plastic with a stainless steel crushing mechanism, and a vacuum suction base holds the unit firmly to the work surface during use.

For low- to moderate-volume service — a cocktail bar, café, or small licensed venue — this type of manual crusher is a practical and cost-effective option. It requires no power supply and can be positioned anywhere on the bar without consideration for cabling or drainage. That said, it is a hand-operated tool, and operators handling high volumes of crushed-ice drinks during a busy service will find the manual effort adds up quickly.

• Vacuum suction base keeps the unit stable on smooth bar surfaces
• Stainless steel crushing mechanism for durability and hygiene
• No power required — usable anywhere on the bar
• Compact footprint suits tight bar setups
• Simple to disassemble and clean after service

This unit is best suited to venues with occasional or moderate demand for crushed ice — think craft cocktail bars producing a handful of crushed-ice drinks per service rather than high-throughput venues where an electric crusher or dedicated ice machine with crushing capability would be a more practical fit.

If you're unsure whether a manual unit will keep pace with your service requirements, we're happy to talk it through.

The Beaumont Manual Ice Crusher is a compact, hand-operated unit designed to crush ice cubes into smaller pieces suitable for cocktails, soft drinks, and blended beverages. It requires no power source — the user feeds ice cubes through the top opening and turns the handle to drive the crushing mechanism, with the output collected in the plastic catcher below.

In practical terms, this type of unit suits lower-volume bar or café environments where crushed ice is needed intermittently rather than continuously. It is not designed to keep pace with high-demand service periods on its own, but for venues serving occasional cocktails or iced drinks it handles the task efficiently without the cost or counter space of a powered machine.

• Hand-operated — no electrical supply required
• Wide top opening makes loading ice cubes straightforward
• Plastic ice catcher collects output and helps retain temperature
• Chrome-effect finish suits bar and front-of-house presentation
• Lightweight stainless steel construction at under 2.5kg

Installation is straightforward — the unit sits on any stable work surface and needs no plumbing or electrical connection. Its compact footprint means it can be positioned where it is needed most, though on very busy services a motorised unit would offer more consistent output.

This crusher is best suited to small bars, café counters, or catering operations where crushed ice is a secondary rather than constant requirement. For sites producing crushed ice at volume throughout service, a powered ice crusher or dedicated ice machine with crush capability would be a more practical choice.

The Santos 53A is a countertop electric ice crusher designed for commercial use in bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues. It takes pre-formed ice and crushes it to either a fine or coarse consistency depending on the setting — making it practical for a range of applications from blended cocktails and frozen drinks to food presentation and seafood display.

With an output of 180kg per hour, the 53A is well capable of keeping pace with a busy bar during peak service. The 1.2kg hopper provides a reasonable working volume for continuous use, and the machine is built around a heavy-duty motor that runs quietly — an important consideration when it sits behind a bar where noise levels matter. The stainless steel and ABS construction gives it durability appropriate to a demanding service environment without excessive bulk; at 10kg it is light enough to reposition as needed.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Dual crush settings (fine and coarse) handled by a single machine, reducing the need for separate equipment
• Quiet motor suited to front-of-house placement without disrupting service
• Robust construction that holds up to repeated daily use
• Compact footprint leaves counter space available for other equipment
• Simple to clean and maintain between services

Installation is straightforward — the 53A requires a standard electrical supply and a stable countertop position with adequate clearance. It does not require plumbing or a water connection. Bear in mind that the machine crushes ice rather than making it, so a separate ice maker will be needed as part of your setup.

The Santos 53A is best suited to bars, cocktail bars, and hospitality venues with a regular requirement for crushed ice. It is a proven choice for moderate-to-high volume service. For operations with significantly higher throughput demands, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit would be more appropriate.
