Blizzard SN-700P 310kg Modular Ice Maker with 170kg Bin | 10A

[BLIZZARD_MSG]

The Blizzard SN-700P 310kg Commercial Modular Cube Ice Maker with 170kg Storage Bin is an ultra-high-capacity, commercial-grade ice production system engineered specifically for Australian nightclubs, high-volume bars, hotels, pubs, entertainment venues, seafood markets, and large-scale catering operations. Measuring 760 mm Wide x 860 mm Deep x 1745 mm High and weighing 105 kg, this modular system pairs an industrial-grade freezing head with a matching 170kg polyurethane-insulated ice storage bin. Capable of generating up to 310kg of classic 22mm x 22mm x 22mm full-dice ice cubes every 24 hours, the SN-700P is powered by premier international components—including an Italian Aspera compressor, German ebm-papst condenser fan motor, Danish Danfoss expansion valve, and Japanese Saginomiya solenoid valves. Fully WaterMark certified for legal connection to Australian municipal mains plumbing, it delivers peak ice volume on a standard single-phase 10A electrical connection.

Why venue operators choose the Blizzard SN-700P:

• High-volume daily output (up to 310kg/24h) — high-yield commercial evaporator engine produces up to 310kg of solid full-dice ice per day to easily handle peak Friday and Saturday trading, crowded festival bars, and high-turnover dining rushes.

• Massive 170kg insulated ice storage bin — heavy-duty thermal bin holds up to 170kg of ice ready for rapid service, protected by an automatic bin-level sensor that halts ice production when full to prevent overflows.

• Classic 22mm³ full-dice ice cubes — yields uniform, crystal-clear 22mm x 22mm x 22mm dice cubes that chill high-end spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks rapidly while melting slowly to minimise beverage dilution.

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

• World-class global engineering components — precision-built with an Italian Aspera compressor, German ebm-papst condenser fan motor, US Morrill water circulation pump, Danish Danfoss expansion valve and filter dryer, and Japanese Saginomiya solenoids for round-the-clock reliability.

• Commercial food-grade stainless steel cabinet — heavy-gauge stainless steel outer body and durable hinged access door withstand demanding kitchen and cellar conditions while wiping clean effortlessly.

• Seamless food-safe interior bin liner — hygienic polyethylene bin liner features rounded internal corners to prevent bacterial harborage, reduce ambient melt loss, and make routine washdowns quick and simple.

• Efficient standard 10A plug-and-play power — smart 1680W thermodynamic design operates on standard Australian single-phase 240V mains power with a factory-fitted 10 Amp plug, delivering massive ice volumes without requiring costly 15A circuits or dedicated three-phase wiring.

Essential Water Filtration & Scheduled Maintenance

All commercial ice makers require active water filtration and scheduled maintenance to ensure crystal-clear cube formation, rapid harvest cycles, and long-term evaporator health. In hard-water areas across Australia, dissolved mineral salts and scale will accumulate on the vertical nickel-plated evaporator grid, causing malformed cubes, extended harvest cycles, and premature compressor strain.

Recommended Water Filter System: To protect your machine and validate warranty terms, install an inline commercial water filter system. We recommend the high-performance WFI37000 Commercial Water Filtration System.

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 heavy scale regions) to prevent sediment, chlorine, and limescale minerals from entering the water distribution manifold.

2. Evaporator Plate De-scaling (Every 3 to 6 Months): Routinely de-scale and clean the vertical nickel-plated evaporator grid using a non-foaming, food-grade commercial nickel-safe ice machine descaling solution to maintain smooth ice cube release during the defrost harvest cycle.

3. Routine Bin & Line Sanitisation: Regularly clean and sanitise the internal water reservoir, water distribution lines, spray curtain, and the 170kg polyethylene storage bin using an approved food-contact sanitiser to ensure strict Australian food safety compliance.

Plumbing, Operating & Service Notice

The Blizzard SN-700P requires connection to a cold potable mains water line (fitted with an isolation valve and compliant backflow prevention device) and an unpressurised gravity floor waste drain with an appropriate physical air gap. Do not run the drain hose uphill or create siphoning loops, as proper gravity drainage is vital to prevent wastewater backflow into the bin. Provide at least 150 mm clearance around the air-cooled condenser grilles on the modular head to guarantee adequate ventilation and continuous heat dissipation. Always plug the unit directly into a dedicated 240V 10A wall power point; never use double adaptors, multi-plug power boards, or extension leads.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial freight delivery is available across Australia. Due to the modular dual-box configuration (modular ice-making head plus separate storage bin) and a heavy commercial freight profile (105 kg net weight), delivery to residential or non-commercial addresses requires a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to ordering to verify site access, doorway clearances, and delivery requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the Blizzard SN-500P and SN-700P?

Both models feature the same 760mm x 860mm footprint, 170kg insulated storage bin, full-dice cube shape (22mm³), and standard 10A plug compatibility. The key distinction is daily production: the SN-500P produces up to 225kg per 24 hours (1360W), whereas the SN-700P features an upgraded refrigeration circuit producing up to 310kg per 24 hours (1680W), making it better suited for ultra-high-volume venues such as clubs, festivals, and major hotel bars.

Why is an inline water filter (such as the WFI37000) critical for this machine?

Australian municipal mains water carries varying levels of dissolved minerals, limescale, chlorine, and sediment. During the freezing cycle, pure water freezes first, leaving minerals behind to coat the refrigeration evaporator plate and water solenoids. Installing a dedicated system like the WFI37000 removes sediment, inhibits scale build-up, and ensures your cubes harvest cleanly without sticking or clouding.

Does the ice maker automatically shut off when the storage bin is full?

Yes. The SN-700P features an integrated bin-level sensor located inside the ice drop zone. When ice builds up to the maximum level of the 170kg insulated bin, the sensor automatically pauses the harvest and freezing cycle. As soon as ice is scooped out for service, the unit restarts automatically.

What plumbing connections are required on-site?

The machine requires two primary plumbing connections:

1. A cold potable mains water supply terminating at a 3/4" BSP isolation tap (operating between 100 kPa and 500 kPa).

2. A dedicated gravity floor waste drain for bin meltwater and periodic sump flushes, installed with an approved physical air gap in accordance with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing regulations.

Can a 310kg ice machine really run on a standard 10 Amp power point?

Yes. Thanks to its energy-efficient 1680W power profile and thermodynamic refrigeration balancing, the Blizzard SN-700P draws approximately 7.0 Amps on standard Australian 240V single-phase power. It comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug, enabling direct plug-and-play installation into any standard commercial power socket without the expense of 15A electrical circuit upgrades.
