Diamond Ice for Exceptional Culinary Presentations

What is Diamond Ice and where is it used?

Diamond Ice is an ultra-dry granular ice with naturally shaped pieces and a soft, chewable texture. It is produced by ICE TECH CD series ice makers that ensure low moisture content and consistent ice quality. This ice type is popular in bars, restaurants, fish counters and food displays where visual presentation and practicality are equally important.

Diamond Ice cools drinks and products quickly, fills containers efficiently and provides a premium appearance. It is widely used in cocktails, lemonades, buffets and seafood displays.

Diamond Ice properties and advantages

The texture is firm yet soft, making it ideal for drinks and food presentation. Its dry profile with around 20% moisture ensures minimal dilution in the glass and maintains flavour balance. The natural granular shape provides rapid cooling and a professional look.

This ice type is especially popular in modern cocktails where texture, chewability and low dilution are essential. Diamond Ice also performs well in food displays where long-lasting cooling is required.

How the ICE TECH CD series works

The CD series uses a vertical cylindrical evaporator where water freezes onto the metal wall. A rotating auger breaks the ice, moves it upward and compresses it into uniform Diamond Ice granules. This system produces dry, consistent and high-quality granular ice.

The units use eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, while the design provides efficient performance in professional environments. The vertical evaporator reduces mechanical wear and maintains stable output.
