Ice Generator SP CUBE 36 GR

The SP CUBE 36 GR is a medium-capacity cube ice generator producing 36 kg ice cubes per day. This output is suitable for busy restaurants and bars where daily ice consumption is moderate but consistent throughout the working day.

SP CUBE 36 GR features

A production capacity of 36 kg per day ensures sufficient ice for medium-duty bars or restaurants. Cube-shaped ice melts slowly, keeping drinks chilled longer, an important feature for serving premium beverages.

Cube ice generators with 36 kg output are a popular choice for medium-duty HoReCa businesses seeking a balance between capacity and unit size.

Most suitable use scenarios

Restaurants with an active bar and moderate cocktail demand use the SP CUBE 36 GR as their main ice source. 36 kg per day ensures a continuous ice supply even during peak hours.

Hotel bars and conference centres with moderate ice demand use cube ice generators as a practical solution, providing aesthetically appealing ice for guests.

• Assess daily ice consumption and peak periods
• Compare with SS Cube 14 GR (lower output) and higher-capacity models
• Plan regular filter replacement and maintenance
• Consult BHS for the most suitable model

Advantages of cube ice in cocktails and bars

Cube-shaped ice is the standard choice in professional bars and restaurants—cube ice melts slowly and does not dilute the drink’s flavour, preserving the intensity of the alcohol and other components in the glass. Bartenders using ice cubes in cocktail preparation can more precisely control the drink’s cooling rate and final temperature. Cocktail bars and premium restaurants value cube ice as both a functional and aesthetic element in the glass. Large ice cubes look more visually appealing than crushed ice and do not dilute the drink due to rapid melting. The SP CUBE 36 GR, with a production capacity of 36 kg per day, is suitable for busy bars and restaurants with regular cube ice demand. BHS offers cube ice generators in various outputs for HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Water filtration for the SP CUBE 36 GR unit

The quality of ice produced by the SP CUBE 36 GR depends directly on the quality of the water used—hard water or water with unsuitable properties results in ice with an undesirable taste. Water hardness in different regions can cause limescale buildup in the generator’s heating system and water distributors, reducing efficiency and increasing energy consumption. Regular water filter replacement, as recommended by the manufacturer, ensures clean, flavourful ice production and protects the unit from premature wear. Limescale buildup prevention is simpler and cheaper than removal after accumulation.

SP CUBE 36 GR maintenance and cleaning

Regular maintenance of the SP CUBE 36 GR includes disinfecting the generator’s internal surfaces, cleaning the condenser of dust, and replacing the water filter every three to six months, depending on water hardness and usage intensity. Regular disinfection of the generator’s internal surfaces prevents microorganism buildup, a mandatory requirement for meeting HoReCa hygiene standards. Condenser cleaning is important to ensure the generator cools effectively even in summer heat, when air temperature increases the cooling system’s workload.

SP CUBE 36 GR purchase and installation

Choosing the correct installation location affects the generator’s efficiency—the unit should be installed in a room with a stable temperature, good ventilation, and no direct sunlight. The BHS team checks whether the 36 kg daily output meets the specific restaurant or bar’s daily consumption and provides recommendations on the need for an additional ice storage bin. Restaurants and bars can contact BHS for SP CUBE 36 GR delivery and installation.

SP CUBE 36 GR and SS CUBE 14 GR—how to choose

When choosing between the SP CUBE 36 GR and SS CUBE 14 GR, the main criterion is the business’s daily ice consumption. The SS CUBE 14 GR, with a production capacity of 14 kg per day, is suitable for small bars or offices with low consumption, while the SP CUBE 36 GR, with 36 kg per day, provides approximately twice the amount of ice for medium-duty restaurants. Space constraints are also an important factor—the SP CUBE 36 GR is a larger unit requiring more installation space. If the business’s ice demand exceeds 36 kg per day, BHS offers higher-capacity models. The BHS team helps HoReCa businesses calculate consumption and choose the most suitable generator model for daily needs.

SP CUBE 36 GR seasonal consumption

Ice consumption in bars and restaurants is highly seasonal—during the summer months, when chilled drinks dominate, consumption can be two to three times higher than in winter. The SP CUBE 36 GR’s 36 kg output usually provides sufficient ice for medium-duty businesses even during the summer peak season, but it is advisable to check the generator’s condition and perform preventive maintenance before the season. Summer heat can reduce the generator’s efficiency if the condenser is not clean and room ventilation is insufficient. BHS recommends scheduling SP CUBE 36 GR maintenance before the summer season to ensure optimal performance during peak demand.
