Cafés and bars offering a wide range of chilled beverages appreciate the fast cooling ability of finger ice. The PS Finger 20 GR, with a production capacity of 20 kg per day, provides sufficient quantity for a small bar or café with moderate consumption.

PS Finger 20 GR and KV Finger 21 GR comparison
The PS Finger 20 GR (20 kg/day) and the Ice Generator KV Finger 21 GR (21 kg/day) are finger ice generators with nearly identical production capacities. The main differences may lie in compressor efficiency, energy consumption, unit construction or installation requirements. When choosing between two models with similar output, the right choice often depends on the technical requirements of the installation site and the compatibility of the specific model with water supply parameters.
Water filtration for the PS Finger 20 GR unit
The quality of ice produced by the PS Finger 20 GR depends directly on water quality — soft, filtered water produces clear, tasty ice. Water hardness varies by region, so the choice of water filter should be adapted to local water characteristics. Regular filter replacement according to the manufacturer’s recommendations protects the generator from limescale buildup and maintains ice quality.
PS Finger 20 GR maintenance and cleaning
Regular maintenance of the PS Finger 20 GR includes disinfecting the internal surfaces, cleaning the condenser and replacing the water filter every three to six months. Disinfection is mandatory to meet HoReCa hygiene standards — a clean generator produces hygienically safe ice. Regular condenser cleaning maintains the generator’s cooling efficiency even in summer heat.
PS Finger 20 GR purchase and installation
The BHS team checks whether a production capacity of 20 kg per day meets the daily needs of your business. The installation site should be chosen with a stable temperature and adequate ventilation. Cafés and bars can contact BHS for PS Finger 20 GR delivery and installation.
PS Finger 20 GR seasonal consumption
Ice consumption in cafés and bars varies seasonally — demand for chilled beverages increases in summer, requiring the generator to operate under higher load. The production capacity of 20 kg of the PS Finger 20 GR is usually sufficient for a small business even during the summer season, but preventive maintenance before summer is important for optimal performance. Cleaning the condenser and replacing the filter before summer ensures efficient cooling at high air temperatures. BHS recommends scheduling PS Finger 20 GR maintenance before summer to ensure uninterrupted ice supply.
