Cold beverage equipment SPM-ICE 561476

A cold beverage dispenser keeps drinks chilled and ready to serve by circulating refrigerant through a sealed system, pulling heat from the liquid inside the tank. The refrigerant absorbs warmth as it evaporates, then releases it outside the unit, maintaining a steady low temperature without freezing the contents. This method ensures consistent chill without ice crystals, preserving flavour and texture for slushes, cocktails or soft drinks.

The I-PRO 1 ELECTRONIC starts with filling the 11-litre insulated tank. The operator selects the desired consistency on the electronic keypad; the machine then runs the compressor and mixing paddle until the drink reaches the set thickness. LED lighting inside the tank highlights the product while the paddle keeps it evenly blended. Once the target consistency is reached, the unit switches to stand-by mode, holding the temperature and texture until the next serving. A diagnostic screen shows alerts if the tank needs attention or the refrigerant pressure drifts.

The tank is made of insulated plastic to shield the drink from ambient warmth, while the outer casing comes in black or white. The refrigerant used is R290, a hydrocarbon that cools efficiently with a lower environmental impact. The machine stands on adjustable feet to level it on uneven floors.

Controls include an electronic keypad for setting consistency, a timer for daily or weekly programming, and a diagnostic display that shows error codes. Each setting adjusts how thick or fluid the drink becomes, how long the machine runs, and when it enters energy-saving stand-by.

An 11-litre capacity allows a single tank to hold enough drink for a busy service period without constant refilling. The 220-240 V voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, while the 0.425 kW power rating indicates a modest load on the supply. The 60 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, and the 200 mm depth, 580 mm width and 870 mm height fit on most worktops or under low shelves.

Cleaning involves removing the tank, rinsing it with warm water and mild detergent, and wiping the LED lights and paddle. The insulated bowl should be dried thoroughly before reassembly to prevent condensation. The optional autofill lid connects to a water line for automatic refilling, and the UVA sanitation model adds ultraviolet lights to reduce microbial growth inside the tank.

Variants include the base model in black or white, the same unit with an autofill lid for pre-mix or post-mix syrups, and a version that adds UVA sanitation lights for improved hygiene.

The dispenser is listed in the SPM-ICE professional refrigeration and beverage equipment catalogue under cold-drink preparation machines.
