Blizzard SN-80P 36kg Underbench Ice Maker with Drain Pump | 10A

[BLIZZARD_MSG]

The Blizzard SN-80P 36kg Underbench Commercial Ice Maker with Internal Drain Pump is a compact, self-contained ice production unit engineered specifically for Australian cafes, cocktail bars, boutique restaurants, executive office kitchens, sports clubs, and mobile catering operations. Sized at 500 mm Wide x 450 mm Deep x 800 mm High and weighing 36 kg, this commercial undercounter ice machine fits neatly beneath standard Australian bench heights while delivering a steady output of up to 36kg of crystal-clear 22mm³ gourmet dice ice cubes every 24 hours. Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel cabinet, an insulated 15kg internal storage bin (with an automated ~8.5kg sensor cut-off), and an integrated internal drain pump, the SN-80P eliminates the need for direct floor waste positioning and connects effortlessly to standard 10A power with full Australian WaterMark certification.

Why venue operators choose the Blizzard SN-80P:

• High-yield compact daily output (up to 36kg/24h) — produces up to 36kg of dense gourmet dice ice per 24 hours, giving small-to-medium hospitality venues a dependable supply of fresh ice throughout morning coffee shifts and evening bar service.

• Integrated internal drain pump — onboard electric waste pump removes melted runoff automatically, allowing flexible installation into raised sink drains, standpipes, or remote waste points without requiring a direct gravity floor drain.

• Compact underbench profile (800mm height) — space-saving 500mm-wide by 800mm-high footprint slides directly under standard commercial benchtops, bar counters, and servery stations without sacrificing valuable floor space.

• Built-in 15kg insulated ice storage bin — features a food-safe insulated bin that stores up to 15kg of ice, backed by an intelligent automated bin control sensor (cut-off at ~8.5kg) that pauses production when full to prevent overflows.

• Classic 22mm³ dice ice cubes — produces solid 22mm x 22mm x 22mm ice cubes that chill spirits, cocktails, iced coffees, and soft drinks quickly while melting slowly to minimise beverage dilution.

• Commercial food-grade stainless steel body — durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel casing resists the wear and tear of bustling bars and kitchens while wiping clean in seconds.

• Official Australian WaterMark certification — independently tested and certified under the WaterMark scheme for full compliance with Australian plumbing standards and municipal council health regulations.

• Efficient standard 10A plug-and-play installation — economical 370W power consumption operates on standard Australian single-phase 240V mains power with a factory-fitted 10 Amp plug, requiring no specialist wiring or 15A circuits.

Technical Specifications

Essential Water Filtration & Scheduled Maintenance

All commercial ice machines require clean, 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 scale accumulate on the vertical evaporator grid over time, leading to cloudy ice, malformed cubes, extended freezing cycles, and premature compressor strain.

Recommended Water Filter System: To protect your investment and maintain warranty compliance, install an inline commercial water filter system. We recommend pairing this machine with 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 to protect internal water lines, solenoid valves, and the pump from limescale build-up 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 wash and sanitise the internal water reservoir, distribution spray manifold, and the insulated storage bin using a food-contact sanitiser to ensure strict Australian food hygiene compliance.

Plumbing, Operating & Service Notice

The Blizzard SN-80P 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 line can be routed into an existing sink trap, dedicated standpipe, or elevated drainage outlet—offering far greater installation flexibility than gravity-fed machines. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an internal drain pump a major advantage for underbench installations?

Standard commercial ice makers rely entirely on gravity to drain meltwater, which means the unit must sit directly over or immediately adjacent to a floor waste drain. The Blizzard SN-80P features a factory-fitted internal electric drain pump that actively pumps wastewater upward into a sink drain, wall pipe, or remote waste outlet, making it ideal for venues without access to an in-floor drain.

Why is an inline water filter (such as the WFI37000) strongly recommended?

Australian tap water contains microscopic sediment, minerals, and chlorine. During the freezing cycle, pure water freezes first while dissolved minerals concentrate and settle onto the evaporator grid, pump, and sensor components. Installing the WFI37000 Water Filtration System removes impurities, inhibits limescale scale accumulation, and ensures ice cubes remain dense, clear, and taste-neutral.

How does the automated bin control sensor work?

The SN-80P features an integrated bin level sensor set to approximately 8.5 kg. When ice builds up to this level in the 15kg insulated bin, the sensor automatically signals the machine to pause production. Once ice is scooped out for service and clears the sensor line, the machine automatically resumes its freezing cycle.

What type and size of ice does the SN-80P produce?

The machine produces classic 22mm x 22mm x 22mm (22mm³) full-dice gourmet ice cubes. This solid, geometric shape offers high surface contact to chill soft drinks, craft beers, spirits, and iced coffees quickly while melting slowly to avoid watering down beverages.

What electrical outlet is required?

The Blizzard SN-80P operates on standard Australian single-phase 240V mains power with an energy-efficient 370W draw. 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 alterations.
