Product Description
The Halcyon ICE 130 is a self-contained cube ice maker designed for commercial operations where ice production is a daily, non-negotiable 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 integrated storage bin keeps the overall footprint compact relative to the machine's output, which is a practical consideration in kitchens and bars where space behind the counter is limited.
At 130kg of ice production per 24 hours, this is a high-output machine built to sustain production through heavy, continuous daily demand. The slow-melting cube format performs well in high-turnover drink service where ice dilution is a concern. The well-insulated storage bin helps preserve ice quality between service periods, reducing waste and maintaining usable stock through quieter periods without premature breakdown.
The machine has been designed with practical servicing in mind. Key internal components — including the spray curtain, water jets, and cup holders — are removable without tools via a squeeze-and-release mechanism, making routine cleaning and sanitising straightforward for kitchen teams working to environmental health standards. Practical operational advantages include:
- Tool-free removable components simplify routine cleaning and sanitising
- Well-insulated bin retains ice quality and reduces melt between service periods
- Stainless steel construction supports durability under daily commercial use
- Current-compliant refrigerant supports efficient running costs
- Self-contained design keeps installation requirements relatively straightforward
Installation requires a mains water supply, drainage, and an appropriate electrical connection. In hard water areas, fitting a compatible inline water filter is strongly recommended — omitting one can affect performance over time and may have warranty implications. The unit should be positioned to allow adequate airflow around the condenser; poorly ventilated or warm install locations will reduce output and increase load on the refrigeration system.
The ICE 130 is well suited to hotels, busy bars, event catering operations, and larger restaurants where ice demand remains consistently high across the day and into the evening. Smaller operations with moderate ice requirements would be better served by a lower-output model from the range. For very high-volume sites running multiple service points simultaneously, it is worth considering whether additional storage capacity or a second unit is advisable before committing.
If you would like to talk through whether the ICE 130 is the right match for your expected demand or your site's installation constraints, the team is happy to work through the details with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A rough industry guide is to estimate ice consumption per cover or per drink served across your busiest day, then factor in storage losses and any food service use alongside drinks. For a busy hotel bar or a restaurant turning covers all day and into the evening, 130kg is a substantial output, but operations with multiple concurrent service points or large banqueting requirements should consider whether additional storage or a second unit makes more sense. If you are unsure, it is worth discussing your service profile with us before ordering.
- In hard water areas, a compatible inline water filter is strongly recommended and in some cases a condition of the warranty — scale build-up from untreated water can affect ice quality, reduce the machine's efficiency, and shorten component life. Even in moderate water hardness areas, fitting a filter is considered good practice and will reduce the frequency of descaling maintenance. We can advise on compatible filter options for your water supply.
- The condenser needs adequate airflow to operate efficiently, so the machine should not be installed in a confined space, a sealed cupboard, or a kitchen area where ambient temperatures run consistently high. Restricted airflow will reduce ice output and place additional load on the refrigeration system over time. Allow sufficient clearance around the unit as indicated in the installation documentation, and consider the ambient temperature of the intended location before finalising placement.
