Halcyon ICE 130 Self-Contained Cube Ice Maker 130kg/24hr

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 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 — a useful consideration where space behind the counter or in a back bar area is limited.

At 130kg of ice per 24 hours, this is a high-output machine built to sustain continuous production through heavy daily demand. The slow-melting cube format performs well in high-turnover drink service where ice dilution is a concern, and the well-insulated storage bin helps preserve ice quality between service periods, reducing melt and maintaining usable stock through quieter patches 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 teams working to environmental health standards. Practical operational advantages include:

• Tool-free removable components simplify routine cleaning and sanitising cycles
• Well-insulated bin retains ice quality and reduces melt between service periods
• Stainless steel construction supports durability under sustained daily use
• Current-compliant refrigerant contributes to 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 ice quality and machine performance over time, and may have warranty implications. The unit needs adequate airflow around the condenser; a warm or poorly ventilated install location will reduce output and place additional load on the refrigeration system, so positioning deserves careful thought at the planning stage.

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 would be advisable before committing to a single machine.

If you would like to work through whether the ICE 130 fits your expected demand or your site's specific installation conditions, the team is glad to help.
