ICE BLOCK MAKERS
Тест – The main product of our company is polyurethane ice makers! This is equipment that produces crystal clear ice by slow freezing.
How block ice machines works?
The end product of Premium ice block makers is an ice block with an extremely dense structure that can be used to make premium ice craft cubes, sculptures, and other purposes. Our clear ice block maker is growing every two blocks for up to 3 days. Block ice machine uses constant water circulation with pumps to create a perfect block of premium ice.
The Science Behind Clear Ice: Directional Freezing vs. Standard Freezing
Professional bars and ice sculptors rely on crystal-clear ice, which is impossible to achieve with standard commercial freezers. While standard rapid freezers drop temperatures to -20°C (-4°F) to force-freeze cloudy ice batches in under 24 hours, this rushed process traps air bubbles and minerals in the center. BF Tech machines utilize an advanced directional freezing method built on precise thermal control. By maintaining the best possible environment of +10°C to +15°C (50°F to 60°F) over a strict 72-hour cycle, our machines freeze the water slowly from the bottom up while using continuous circulation pumps. This calculated 3-day mathematical ratio naturally forces impurities to the surface, resulting in a 100% pure, extremely dense, 130 kg ice block that simply cannot be replicated by fast-freezing equipment.
Advantages of the block ice maker
The main benefit of the BF TECH ice block maker machine is polyurethane insulation, which makes it possible to install the machine in hot conditions and work equally in all conditions. Premium ice block makers have several levels of protection and LED display with temperature indicator.
-
• Efficiency and Insulation
This machine works well even when the temperature is increasing because of polyurethane insulation.
-
• Modern Direct Cooling Technology
Unlike traditional brine systems (can ice methods) that are bulky and require heavy maintenance, BF Tech utilizes modern direct cooling technology combined with highly efficient polyurethane insulation. This ensures a faster freezing time, lower energy consumption, and the ability to operate perfectly even in hot climates without the mess of saltwater solutions.

Application of ice block makers
Ice block makers are multi-purpose devices that are used in various industries that take advantage of the unique properties of block ice.
Bars and restaurants use clear ice blocks extensively due to their ability to produce large quantities of ice. This ice is not only used for chilling drinks but also for blending cocktails and keeping up presentation standards during peak hours.
For event caterers, having enough supply of ice is very important, especially when operating in hot climates or seasons. Our machines produce giant ice blocks, up to 287 lbs, (≈130 kg) with a high thermal mass, meaning they melt significantly slower than cubed or flaked ice. This makes them the gold standard for long-duration cooling and creating massive, detailed decorative ice sculptures that survive entire events.
In medical facilities, staff members utilize frozen water packs not only on patients’ bodies during cooling therapies but also within their everyday management practices towards perishables and pharmaceuticals.
Block ice retains freshness while fish is being transported from one place to another. Due to its high thermal mass and extreme density, our block ice melts at a fraction of the speed of standard ice, providing a reliable, long-lasting cooling solution for the fishing industry and catering logistics.

What are Uses of block ice machine?
The ice block maker is used to freeze crystal clear ice in large or small blocks with subsequent processing and cutting into cubes, or to create ice sculptures. Also you can freeze any objects inside the ice block you want
Is an ice cube machine worth it?
If you are looking for new opportunities for your ice production business or you want to start such a business in your city/country - ice cube machine is definitely worth it
How do the ice blocks of the BF Tech ice machine become so clear?
The block of ice becomes so transparent thanks to the method of directional freezing, freezing from the bottom up, layer by layer, with the help of circulation pumps, the ice becomes crystal clear and has a very soild structure
Which connections are necessary for the BF Tech ice machine?
You don't need any special connection for our ice maker, it's usually a 110/220V 1-phase outlet, all units have different electrical standards depending on which part of the world you buy from. You do not need to connect the ice maker to the water supply or sewer, the tanks are filled with a hose.
How much water is necessary for an ice block?
For the P150/P300 ice maker, you need 150 liters of clean water for each individual ice maker. The P30 ice maker requires 30 liters of clean water for each ice maker.
Where can I get tools for further processing?
For further processing, you will need a hoist to lift the blocks and carts to move them around the factory or into the freezer. After extracting the blocks, you should cut them into slabs if you plan to make cubed premium ice instead of sculpture, for this you will need a C70 band saw to cut the block into slabs, and later a small band saw to cut cubes.
How often should I clean my commercial ice maker to ensure hygiene?
For optimal hygiene and peak performance, you should perform a full deep cleaning and sanitization of your commercial ice block maker at least every 6 months. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the water tanks, inspecting the continuous circulation pumps, and ensuring the polyurethane insulation remains intact. Using filtered water and keeping to a strict cleaning schedule guarantees the crystal-clear quality of your ice and extends the lifespan of the machinery.
