VEVOR 80lbs/24H Commercial Ice Maker Machine, 12lbs Storage Capacity Ice Maker with Drain Pump, 36 Ice Cubes in 15 Minutes, LED Digital Display Freestanding Self-Cleaning for Bar Office Restaurant

80 lbs Daily Ice Output Across 36-Cube Cycles for High-Volume Demand

The VEVOR 12 lb ice maker features a 36-piece ice tray system that can produce up to 80 pounds of ice cubes in 24 hours at operating temperatures of 50–100.4°F (10–38°C). Its production makes it a practical alternative for bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and beverage counters that need a consistent supply of ice throughout the day. The machine is only 348 × 335 × 625 mm, so it can be placed in confined spaces without interfering with other equipment.

The large daily volume is a result of the 36-tray setup; more trays mean more ice produced per cycle without taxing the compressor. This reduces wear on internal components over time, which is important when the machine is running most of the day. Whether you’re stocking a hotel bar or keeping a busy restaurant kitchen stocked, 80 lbs per day is a sufficient buffer to meet peak demand without running short.

12 lb Ice Maker with >20 mm Cyclopentane Insulation for 6–8 Hour Ice Retention

This ice maker includes a storage bin that holds up to 12 lb of ice at a time, providing enough ice to keep a service counter filled between production cycles during moderate-traffic periods. It is insulated differently from conventional ice makers, with cyclopentane foam walls at least 20 mm thick and a high-quality exterior shell that prevents outside heat from getting in. This combination allows stored ice to remain frozen for 6-8 hours even if the unit is not in active use.

That insulating window is quite handy when you don’t need the machine operating at full capacity during off-hours, power breaks, or periods of sluggish service. Longer-lasting solid ice also means less meltwater accumulates in the bin, keeping the storage area cleaner between drain cycles. One of the practical advantages of such a compact unit is the insulation performance.

15-Minute Cycle Time for Fast, Continuous Ice Production

It takes about 15 minutes from start to finish to make a new batch of 36 ice cubes on this machine, and it does so without any operator input. That speed keeps supplies flowing smoothly, so the storage bin stays full during busy service windows rather than running low between batches. The short cycle time is particularly advantageous during peak hours, when demand increases, and you require regular replenishment.

The machine operates in automatic repeat cycles so that you can set it up at the start of a shift and let it run without constant attention. The machine itself controls water intake, freezing, and ice release, allowing staff to concentrate on other tasks. 15 minutes a batch, 36 cubes at a time – the math adds up quickly when you are keeping up with a busy service floor.

LED Digital Display and Mechanical Buttons for Precise Ice Thickness Control

This 12 lb ice maker features a control panel with an LED digital display and physical buttons for simple, clear control of the machine’s functions. You may also dial in larger or thinner ice cubes to suit your beverages by adjusting the freezing cycle duration, thereby directly controlling ice thickness. Lights on the panel indicate the machine's real-time state, so you can tell what stage the unit is in without guessing.

In wet or hectic kitchen settings, when fingers are frequently wet or gloved, physical buttons perform better than touch-screen interfaces. The one-touch cleaning button is integrated into the same panel, so transitioning into a cleaning cycle requires only one press rather than navigating menus. From the front of the device, you can see and reach everything you need to control and monitor the machine.

Built-In Electric Drain Pump for Gravity-Free Water Removal

Most ice makers rely on gravity to drain meltwater, which dictates where they can be installed – but this 12 lb ice maker has an electric drain pump that removes that constraint entirely. The pump actively pushes water out, whether the device is on the floor, on a countertop, or in a tight space such as an RV kitchen or boat galley. This versatility enables the machine to be truly portable from one setup to the next, without worrying about drain placement.

Regular water drainage prevents stale water from lingering in the reservoir between cycles, keeping the unit's interior cleaner. This ensures the ice it produces has a fresh taste, not flat or stale, unlike ice from machines without active drainage. The electric drain pump is delivered in a separate package and may arrive later than the main unit.

Auto Self-Cleaning 12 lb Ice Maker for a Hygienic, Low-Maintenance Operation

If the ice flows directly into drinks or food, it is essential to keep an ice maker clean, and this 12 lb ice maker does so with a built-in automated self-cleaning mechanism. One button initiates the cleaning cycle to flush the water pipes and internal surfaces without requiring any disassembly or additional cleaning gear, making routine maintenance a matter of minutes rather than a huge undertaking that gets put off.

Galvanized sheet, combined with ABS and PP material throughout the unit, resists corrosion and is easy to wash down externally between deep cleaning cycles. Cleaner interior conditions ensure that the ice cubes produced are safe to drop straight into cold drinks, food displays, or service containers without further cleaning. If hygienic standards are important in any business or home, the auto-clean feature is a significant, continuous aid to everyday operations.
