VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker 360 lbs/Day Self-Cleaning Ice Machine - Head Only

Ice Maker Head Unit with 360 lbs Per Day, Delivering 15,000 Ice Pieces Every 24 Hours

This ice maker head unit can produce up to 360 lbs. of ice in 24 hours, or around 15,000 individual ice cubes, for continuous operation over a full working day. This is the best solution for high-volume applications such as large restaurant kitchens, hotel beverage centers, and banquet facilities, where there is a strong need for ice during serving hours. It’s only a head unit, so it connects to a separate storage bin, allowing you to tailor the storage capacity to your specific throughput demands.

Unit weight is 87 lbs (39.5 kg), and dimensions are 565 × 560 × 555 mm. This size & weight allow it to be paired with standard commercial equipment counters & ice bins without bespoke installation. The 360 lb/day sum yields a far larger ice reserve over a full service week than the smaller-capacity heads do. If you wish to grow your operation or add a second production head to an existing bin, adding capacity is a practical and good move.

156 Ice Trays Per Cycle for Higher Batch Output Than Standard Commercial Units

The 156 piece ice tray architecture allows more trays to run per cycle, producing more ice per batch without increasing cycle time. And each full cycle deposits more into the storage bin, so supply levels are higher between cycles during peak service times. This tray count becomes more valuable when demand spikes, and the higher output per batch offers a cushion against short term peaks.

Operating 156 trays per cycle better balances the thermal and mechanical demands on the freezing system, ensuring no portion of the tray assembly is under undue stress. The load is evenly distributed; thus, the size of each piece of ice in each batch is more uniform. It is vital for drink presentation and regular servings. When you need ice for any activity and want both quality and quantity, the 156-tray configuration delivers both at once.

12–15 Minute Production Cycle Backed by a Powerful Commercial Grade Compressor

The ice maker head unit makes new batches of ice every 12-15 minutes, so there are never extended periods of low supply. It’s that low cycle time that makes 360 lbs per day possible under real working conditions, not just ideal test conditions. The basis for reliable high-volume ice manufacturing at this capacity is fast, repetitive cycles.

The compressor is meant to operate in back-to-back cycles without long recovery times between cycles. It is a big difference from light-duty units, which tend to slow down after prolonged operation. Adjust ice thickness by lengthening or shortening the freezing section in each cycle to control finished piece size without disrupting the overall manufacturing rhythm. This blend of speed and adaptability makes this device suited to the individual ice needs of various service locations.

Stainless Steel and PE Plastic Build for Corrosion Resistant Long-Term Use

The ice maker head unit is constructed of stainless steel for the main structural and food-contact surfaces and PE plastic for some interior parts, providing corrosion resistance and lightweight durability. Stainless steel will not rust at seams or joints, which is important because the interior of an ice maker is very wet, especially when it runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. PE plastic parts provide chemical resistance where rigid metal would be susceptible to stress fracture from repeated temperature cycling.

This ice maker head unit, made of these materials, keeps the unit running clean during long days of use without the need for surface coatings that wear off over time in moist conditions. That build adds to the total weight of 87 lb (39.5 kg), which is heavy enough to operate stably, yet light enough to place on a typical commercial equipment stand. Constructed from stainless steel and PE, the materials meet health code standards for long-term reliability in professional food service environments.

Reservation Scheduling Function to Align Ice Output with Your Peak Business Hours

The built-in reservation function lets you set the machine to start production at a specific time, ensuring the ice is available when your company opens, rather than slowly building up after service begins. Businesses with predictable windows, morning rushes, lunch service, and evening events plan output to match those times so the bin is brimming when demand surges. That preparation means there's no need to run the equipment around the clock during off-hours when ice isn't needed.

Scheduled production reduces unnecessary runtime during off-peak periods, minimizing weekly energy use without limiting supply during peak periods. The reservation requires only a few inputs on the front panel and runs automatically once configured. This feature is a useful tool for the day-to-day operation of busy commercial kitchens, saving time during opening prep.

VEVOR Ice Maker Head Unit with One-Touch Self-Cleaning and Touch Panel Control

The front touch panel provides a single user-friendly interface for controlling thickness, scheduling production runs, activating cleaning cycles, and monitoring status in real time. The indicator lights show the machine's current state, so you don’t have to stop to check whether the unit is generating, cleaning, or on standby. All controls are on one panel for ease of usage and to prevent missed settings during shift changes.

Self-cleaning at the push of a button: Initiates a thorough internal rinse cycle to maintain a clean ice-making environment without disassembly or manual scrubbing. That level of cleanability means it gets done regularly, rather than being skipped because it seems like a hassle. Cleaner inner surfaces improve ice quality and extend component life by reducing mineral scale buildup.
