Commercial ice makers, ice crushers, storage bins, and professional water Filters

Solid ice cube machines

The most requested ice format in professional hospitality and premium cocktail bars. Our gourmet solid ice cube makers use a water pump injection system over a horizontal evaporator, delivering a crystal-clear, compact, air-free cube. This truncated-cone gourmet ice stands out for its extremely slow melt, chilling spirits, mixed drinks and soft drinks without diluting the beverage. Thanks to its clarity, density and presentation, it has become the benchmark standard for à la carte restaurants, cocktail bars, nightclubs and upmarket hotels, adding value, image and profitability to beverage service.

Crystal-clear slow-melting cubes for premium spirits.

Fast food ice machines

Maximum production speed and high volumetric yield for high-traffic venues. Fast food ice machines produce a small square or rectangular cube that provides instant chilling thanks to its large surface contact with the liquid. This high-turnover ice fills glasses in seconds, shifting more beverage volume and optimising the profit margin per serve.

Thanks to its speed, efficiency and continuous output, fast food ice is the ideal choice for quick-service restaurant chains, nightclubs, hospitals, institutional catering and automatic drink dispensers (vending).

Lightning-fast chilling and high volumetric performance.

Diamond ice machines

The ultimate expression of sophistication for modern mixology and premium bars. Diamond ice or pure cube machines produce large-format ice blocks (Ice Ball or Cube XXL) with absolute transparency and a flawless finish. This high-density premium ice elevates cocktail presentation and, thanks to its high thermal mass, keeps dilution to a minimum, preserving the aromas, nuances and balance of top-shelf spirits throughout the serve.

Granular ice machines (Crushed ice)

Maximum versatility for fresh food display and tropical cocktails. Granular ice or crushed ice machines produce moist micro-granules at near 0°C, creating ice that is mouldable, soft and subcooled. This format does not damage fish or shellfish, making it essential for fishmongers, cold buffets, supermarkets and self-service areas to build safe, hygienic display ice beds.

In beverage service, professional crushed ice is the base ingredient for mojitos, caipirinhas, margaritas and Tiki-style cocktails, providing instant cooling and perfect integration with the liquid.

Mouldable ice for fresh display and mojitos.

Hollow ice machines

The most reliable solution for hard-water areas and high operational demand. Hollow ice or thimble-type machines use a highly robust submerged paddle system that resists limescale build-up, ensuring stable operation even with poor water quality. Its cylindrical shape with a central hole provides a large contact surface with the drink, achieving very fast cooling in the glass.

This professional hollow ice is especially popular in cafés, bars and high-volume venues serving iced coffees, breakfasts and soft drinks, where speed, reliability and low maintenance are essential.

Extreme limescale resistance and rapid cooling.

Flake ice machines

The extreme industrial chilling solution for bulk preservation and demanding professional processes. Industrial flake ice machines produce flat, dry fragments subcooled to between -5°C and -10°C, creating ice that drains slowly and does not clump, ideal for keeping large volumes of product at controlled temperature.

This professional flake ice is essential in the fishing industry (boats, auction halls and markets), in meat processing to prevent overheating during mincing, as well as in industrial bakeries, laboratories, chemical processes and medical and hospital centres.

Below-zero industrial cooling for fishing and meat sectors.

Ice storage bins and water filters for ice machines

The must-have complement for high-output professional ice installations. When demand exceeds 150 kg of ice every 24 hours, modular ice machines without an integrated bin are used, requiring ice storage bins or professional silos to ensure continuous supply. In this category you will find polyurethane-insulated stainless steel ice bins, designed to keep ice in optimal conditions, reduce melt and enable hygienic dispensing in bars, restaurants, hotels and institutions.

The range is completed with professional water filters for ice machines, including anti-scale systems and reverse osmosis, essential to treat mains water before production. These systems protect injectors, evaporators and internal circuits against limescale failures, improve efficiency and ensure crystal-clear ice with no odours or off-flavours.

Bulk storage and protection for the refrigeration system.

Electric ice crushers and shavers

A practical and profitable way to expand your bar offering. Our professional ice crushers and shavers turn solid cubes into crushed or shaved ice in seconds. They feature ventilated continuous-duty electric motors and heavy-duty stainless steel blades, ensuring power, reliability and safety for intensive use.

These electric ice crushers are the ideal auxiliary accessory for cocktail bars, bars and restaurants without a granular ice machine, enabling fast preparation of all types of cocktails. They are also perfect for seafood display decoration and cold presentations, delivering versatility, operational efficiency and a direct increase in beverage profitability.

High-power motorisation for instant crushing.

Where to buy ice machines for hospitality?

At Maquinaria Bar Hostelería we specialise in supplying professional ice machines for bars, restaurants, hotels and institutions. We work with national and international ice maker brands designed to withstand the demanding pace of the HORECA sector, ensuring reliability, continuous output and energy efficiency.

We provide free, personalised advice to calculate the required ice production (kg/24h), assess your venue’s mains water temperature and recommend the most suitable condensing system (air- or water-cooled). We also guarantee official spare parts, nationwide technical support and insured shipping for heavy equipment, so your investment is protected and your business never stops.

What industrial ice machines are

Industrial ice machines are professional electromechanical refrigeration systems designed to transform mains water into ice automatically, continuously and in a controlled way. Unlike a domestic freezer, a commercial ice maker uses high-efficiency refrigeration circuits with eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, powered by high-output compressors, copper or stainless steel evaporators, and advanced water injection or curtain systems with constant flow.

This continuous water circulation prevents impurities, air and minerals from being trapped during freezing, resulting in purer, clearer, denser and longer-lasting ice. Thanks to this technology, industrial ice has a slower melt, better cooling capacity and far higher quality than static ice made in household trays, making it essential for hospitality, professional cocktail service, food production and healthcare use.

Benefits of having your own ice maker

Independent ice production transforms the logistics and profitability of your venue:

1. Major cost savings: Producing 1 kg of ice with your own machine can cost up to 80% less than buying bags from external suppliers, often paying back the investment in a few months.

2. No more stock-outs: You’ll never run out of ice mid-service on a busy summer Saturday night. You control production 24/7.

3. Space optimisation: Eliminate the need for bulky chest freezers used solely to store purchased ice bags.

4. Quality and presentation: Freshly made ice doesn’t smell like a freezer, doesn’t clump and is crystal-clear—dramatically improving customer experience and the taste of the spirits or cocktails you serve.
