Blizzard SN-101B 100kg Commercial Cube Ice Machine | Drain Pump 10A

[BLIZZARD_MSG]

The Blizzard SN-101B 100kg Commercial Cube Ice Machine with Internal Drain Pump is a high-capacity, self-contained ice-making system engineered specifically for Australian cocktail bars, busy restaurants, pubs, clubs, cafes, and event catering facilities. Measuring 666 mm Wide x 650 mm Deep x 780 mm High, this robust low-profile unit fits smoothly into underbench and back-bar setups while generating up to 100kg of crystal-clear 23mm³ full-dice ice cubes every 24 hours. Fitted with an integrated 30kg insulated storage bin (calibrated with a smart bin control setting defaulted to ~14kg for continuous fresh ice rotation), a factory-installed internal electric drain pump, eco-friendly R290 natural refrigerant, and top-tier global components—including a German ebm-papst fan, Danish Danfoss expansion valve, Japanese Saginomiya solenoid valves, and a US Morrill water pump—the SN-101B delivers WaterMark-certified compliance and dependable commercial chilling on a standard Australian 10A plug.

Why hospitality operators choose the Blizzard SN-101B:

• High-capacity daily production (up to 100kg/24h) — high-yield refrigeration system generates up to 100kg of dense full-dice cube ice per 24 hours to effortlessly support heavy trading periods, Friday night rushes, and weekend functions.

• Factory-fitted internal drain pump — integrated electric waste pump actively discharges meltwater into raised sinks, wall waste pipes, or remote drainage points, eliminating the restriction of needing an in-floor gravity drain.

• Low-profile undercounter chassis (780mm height) — compact 780mm height with adjustable levelling feet slides comfortably under standard commercial bar counters, maximizing service floor space.

• Integrated 30kg insulated storage bin — heavy-duty thermal bin holds up to 30kg of ice (with an automated bin sensor defaulted to ~14kg for active rotation), keeping ice frozen and preventing overfilling.

• Classic 23mm³ full-dice ice cubes — produces solid, uniform 23mm x 23mm x 23mm dice cubes that provide superior thermal contact to chill spirits, cocktails, iced beverages, and soft drinks fast while melting slowly to prevent dilution.

• Eco-friendly R290 natural refrigerant — utilizes high-efficiency R290 hydrocarbon gas with near-zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), cutting operational power draw while delivering rapid freezing cycles.

• Full Australian WaterMark certification — independently tested and certified under the WaterMark scheme, guaranteeing full compliance with Australian plumbing standards (AS/NZS 3500) and council health inspections.

• Premier global components — built with a German ebm-papst fan motor, Hisakage PLC control system, Danish Danfoss expansion valve and filter dryer, Japanese Saginomiya solenoid and hydraulic valves, and a US Morrill heavy-duty water pump for maximum commercial uptime.

• Heavy-duty commercial stainless steel body — robust food-grade stainless steel exterior with a durable hinged access door stands up to high-traffic kitchen and cellar wear while wiping clean in seconds.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play installation — energy-efficient 700W power draw runs on standard Australian single-phase 240V mains power with a factory-fitted 10 Amp plug, requiring no 15A electrical alterations.

Technical Specifications

Essential Water Filtration & Warranty Compliance

Commercial ice machines require treated water and regular maintenance to maintain crystal-clear cube formation, rapid harvest cycles, and long-term evaporator health. In municipal water supplies across Australia, dissolved mineral salts and limescale accumulate on the vertical evaporator grid over time, leading to cloudy ice, malformed cubes, extended freezing cycles, and premature compressor strain.

Mandatory Warranty Requirement: An approved commercial inline water filter system (such as the WFI37000 Commercial Water Filtration System) must be installed upon setup to protect internal valves and validate your 2-Year parts and labour warranty coverage.

Follow this essential 3-step preventative maintenance schedule:

1. Water Filter Cartridge Replacement (Every 6 Months): Replace the inline water filter cartridge bi-annually (or more frequently in hard-water areas) to protect internal water lines, solenoid valves, and the pump from scale accumulation and sediment.

2. Evaporator Plate De-scaling (Every 3 to 6 Months): Routinely de-scale and clean the refrigeration evaporator plate using an approved food-grade commercial nickel-safe ice machine descaling solution to maintain clean cube release during harvest.

3. Routine Bin & Line Sanitisation: Regularly clean and sanitise the internal water reservoir, water distribution lines, and the 30kg insulated storage bin using an approved food-contact sanitiser to ensure strict Australian food safety compliance.

Plumbing, Operating & Service Notice

The Blizzard SN-101B requires connection to a cold potable mains water line terminating at an isolation tap (operating between 100 kPa and 500 kPa). Thanks to its integrated internal drain pump, the wastewater discharge line can be pumped upward into an existing sink trap, dedicated standpipe, or elevated drainage outlet, offering far greater layout versatility behind the bar. Ensure at least 50 mm to 100 mm of ventilation clearance around the cabinet to allow adequate air circulation for the air-cooled condenser. Always plug the unit directly into a dedicated 240V 10A wall outlet; do not operate the appliance via extension leads, double adaptors, or multi-plug power boards.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial freight delivery is available across Australia. Delivery to non-commercial or residential addresses requires a customised freight calculation. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to verify site access, counter clearances, and delivery arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an internal drain pump advantageous for commercial bar setups?

Standard commercial ice makers rely on gravity to remove meltwater, requiring an in-floor waste drain positioned directly beneath or adjacent to the machine. The Blizzard SN-101B includes a factory-installed internal drain pump that actively lifts wastewater into a bench sink trap, bar waste pipe, or wall outlet, enabling installation anywhere behind the bar without cutting into concrete floors.

What size and shape of ice does the Blizzard SN-101B produce?

The machine produces classic 23mm x 23mm x 23mm (23mm³) full-dice gourmet ice cubes. This solid geometric shape delivers maximum surface-area contact to chill soft drinks, iced coffees, cocktails, and spirits quickly while melting slowly to avoid watering down beverages.

How does the automated bin control sensor work?

The SN-101B features an automated bin level sensor defaulted to approximately 14kg within the 30kg storage cavity. When ice reaches this level, the machine pauses the freezing cycle to ensure active ice rotation and prevent clumping. As soon as ice is scooped out for service, the unit automatically restarts production.

Why is an approved commercial water filter mandatory for warranty?

Australian municipal water contains microscopic sediment, chlorine, and dissolved minerals. During freezing, pure water freezes first while dissolved minerals concentrate and settle onto the evaporator grid, pump, and solenoid valves. Installing an approved commercial water filter removes impurities, inhibits limescale scale accumulation, and protects internal components—which is why it is a mandatory requirement to maintain the 2-Year warranty.

What electrical outlet is required?

The Blizzard SN-101B draws an energy-efficient 700W on standard Australian single-phase 240V power. It is factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and lead, allowing immediate plug-and-play installation into any standard commercial power point without requiring 15A electrical circuit upgrades.
