Ice Cube Generator 14 GR

The 14 GR is the smallest cube ice generator in the BHS range — its production capacity of 14 kg per day is ideal for small businesses with steady, low ice demand. Its compact size allows the unit to be installed even in very limited spaces.

14 GR specifications

14 kg of cube ice per day is sufficient for a small café, office or small bar counter where ice is mainly used to chill drinks without heavy use. Cube-shaped ice melts slowly, keeping drinks cold longer.

The compact size is the main advantage of the 14 GR — the unit fits in spaces where larger models would not. It is a practical solution for small businesses with limited kitchen or bar space.

Best use cases

Small cafés and small bar counters with low daily ice demand use the 14 GR as their main ice source. The compact model is economical and easily fits into small workspaces.

Offices and reception areas where ice is needed for guests’ drinks or daily beverage preparation use the 14 GR as a simple and reliable solution.

• Assess your daily ice consumption — 14 kg per day is enough for low demand
• Compare with the SP CUBE 36 GR if consumption is higher
• Plan regular filter changes and maintenance
• Consult BHS for the most suitable model

Advantages of cube ice in bars and cafés

Cube ice is the most commonly used ice shape in bars and cafés because it melts slowly and does not dilute drinks. In bars, cube ice provides an aesthetically appealing look in glasses, which is important for serving premium drinks. In coffee and soft drinks, ice cubes preserve the drink’s intensity longer than crushed ice, which melts quickly and dilutes the flavour. Cocktail bars and restaurants that offer premium drinks appreciate the aesthetics and functionality of cube ice. BHS offers cube ice generators in various capacities to suit business needs.

Water filtration for the 14 GR unit

The quality of ice produced by the 14 GR depends directly on the quality of the water used. Water hardness can cause limescale buildup inside the generator, reducing efficiency and affecting ice taste. Regular water filter changes ensure clean, great-tasting ice without unwanted aftertastes and extend the generator’s lifespan.

14 GR maintenance and cleaning

The 14 GR requires regular preventive maintenance — disinfecting the generator’s internal surfaces, cleaning the condenser and changing the water filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular maintenance prevents microbial buildup in the generator and ensures hygienically clean ice production in line with HoReCa hygiene standards.

Purchasing and installing the 14 GR

BHS helps determine whether a production capacity of 14 kg per day is optimal for the business, or whether another cube ice generator model — KP CUBE 18 GR or SP CUBE 36 GR — would better meet daily needs. Cafés and offices can contact BHS for 14 GR purchase with delivery and installation.

Storing ice from the 14 GR

The cube ice produced by the 14 GR is stored in the generator’s internal bin or a separate ice storage bin. Proper ice storage ensures hygienically clean ice and prevents ice cubes from sticking together. In cafés and bars with stable ice consumption, an additional storage bin can provide an ice reserve during peak periods. BHS offers ice storage bins together with the generator as a complete ice production system.

Seasonal consumption of the 14 GR

Ice consumption in cafés and bars varies seasonally — in summer, with high demand for chilled drinks, the generator operates at full capacity, while in winter the workload decreases. The 14 GR’s production capacity of 14 kg is ideal for small businesses where seasonal fluctuations do not exceed the generator’s capacity. Before the summer season, preventive maintenance is recommended to ensure the generator operates at maximum load. BHS helps plan the 14 GR maintenance schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Full cleaning is recommended every 1–3 months, depending on usage intensity. BHS provides maintenance.

Is 14 kg per day enough for a small café?
