Ice Generator SP Cube 36 g

Use of full ice cubes in HoReCa environments

Full ice cubes are widely used in bars and restaurant operations where consistent cooling and stable drink flavour are essential. Their dense structure melts slowly, delivering steady cooling without watering down cocktails too quickly.

This ice type is also suitable for pre-chilling glassware and drink presentations, where appearance plays a significant role. A full cube of about 36 g provides a solid cold reserve and maintains its shape even under heavy service load.

Characteristics and advantages of 36 g full ice cubes

Full ice cubes are produced from well-filtered water, resulting in a clear and visually appealing surface. The dense structure reduces melting speed, which is important during periods of rapid service.

In HoReCa, this ice is commonly used in cocktails, long drinks and bar presentations. Its stable form and consistent size help with accurate dosing and maintaining balanced drink flavour.

Ice maker parameters for this ice type

Ice makers designed for full ice cubes are selected based on output capacity, filtration, cooling method and construction durability. Professional units typically provide consistent cube shape regardless of ambient temperature changes.

When choosing equipment, professionals usually evaluate these criteria:

• output capacity per 24 h and cube formation cycle;
• corrosion-resistant construction materials;
• water filtration quality affecting cube clarity;
• air-cooled or water-cooled system;
• ease of cleaning and routine maintenance.

A properly selected ice maker helps maintain the precise 36 g cube shape, improving cocktail service and simplifying bar workflow.

Operation and maintenance

Ice quality depends on water cleanliness, filtration performance and regular sanitisation. Bars and restaurants often maintain a service schedule to monitor internal surface hygiene and filter condition, reducing limescale build-up.

In high-demand environments, it is important to monitor the cooling system and ensure proper ventilation around the unit. Timely maintenance supports ice maker efficiency and extends equipment life.

BHS service and technical support

BHS provides professional service for ice makers producing full ice cubes. Support includes diagnostics, planned maintenance and replacement of common wear parts to keep equipment running steadily in daily use.

BHS also offers spare parts for bar equipment and refrigeration units, ensuring quick and convenient solutions when the ice maker needs restoration. Clients can receive guidance on installation, filtration systems and maintenance.

Frequently asked questions about full ice cubes

What advantages do full ice cubes offer compared to hollow cubes?

Full ice cubes usually melt more slowly, preserve drink flavour and provide stable cooling over a longer time.

Why are 36 g ice cubes popular in bars and cocktail service?

This cube size provides an effective balance between cooling capacity and visual quality, which is important in cocktails and long drinks.

Which technical parameters should be considered when choosing an ice maker for full cubes?

The key factors include output capacity, filtration quality, cooling method and the durability of the machine’s construction.

How to ensure the ice remains clear and evenly shaped?

Water quality, regular cleaning and proper ventilation usually help achieve transparent and dense ice structure.

How often should an ice maker be serviced in professional kitchens?

Service intervals depend on workload, filtration system and water quality, but routine maintenance is essential to ensure consistent ice production.
