Product Description
The Halcyon ICE 60 is a self-contained cube ice maker designed for commercial use. It produces clear cylindrical ice cubes and houses an integrated storage bin within a single unit — no separate bin or remote condenser is required. Everything needed to produce, store and dispense ice sits within one footprint, which makes it a practical choice for sites where space is limited or a dedicated ice station is not feasible.
In a working bar, café or mid-sized catering environment, the machine handles steady demand reliably across a full service period. The cylindrical cube format melts more slowly than crushed or flake alternatives, which reduces drink dilution and means staff are replenishing less frequently during busy periods. The insulated storage bin retains ice temperature between services, helping to preserve your stock overnight or during quieter trading hours rather than letting it degrade into unusable clumps.
Several practical features are worth noting for day-to-day operation:
- Tool-free "Squeeze and Go" component removal makes routine cleaning and sanitising straightforward
- Stainless steel construction holds up well in humid, high-use environments
- Insulated bin limits ice loss and waste between service periods
- Current-generation refrigerant meets UK and EU legislative requirements
Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a suitable drainage point nearby. In hard water areas, fitting a water filter is strongly advisable — scale build-up is one of the most common causes of ice machine underperformance, and the manufacturer's warranty conditions may be affected if filtration is not in place where water hardness warrants it. The machine also needs adequate ventilation around the unit; positioning it in a confined, poorly ventilated space will reduce output and put strain on the condenser over time.
The ICE 60 is well suited to smaller restaurants, café bars, hotel bars and sandwich operations where a consistent daily ice supply is needed without the outlay or footprint of a larger modular system. It is a reasonable fit for a single busy service point. If your operation runs at higher volumes, supplies ice across multiple service areas simultaneously, or experiences particularly heavy peak demand, a higher-capacity machine would be worth considering before committing.
If you would like to talk through whether the ICE 60 suits your setup — covering water supply, drainage, daily usage and positioning — the team is happy to work through the practicalities with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a single-point bar or a small to mid-sized café, 55kg daily output is generally sufficient under steady demand. If your operation runs high covers, supplies multiple service points, or sees sharp peaks during events, you may find yourself drawing down the storage bin faster than it replenishes — in which case a higher-capacity machine is worth discussing before you buy.
- You will need a mains cold water feed, a nearby drainage point, and a standard single-phase electrical supply. The unit also needs clear space around it for condenser ventilation — fitting it flush into a tight enclosed space will reduce performance and shorten component life. In hard water areas, a filtration unit upstream of the machine is strongly recommended and may be required to maintain warranty cover.
- Regular cleaning and sanitising is essential for any ice machine — ice is a food product, and hygiene standards apply accordingly. The ICE 60 uses a tool-free Squeeze and Go system for removing internal components, which makes routine cleaning more practical than on machines that require tools or partial disassembly. Most operators find a monthly clean sufficient, though frequency may need to increase in high-output or hard water environments.
