Cold beverage equipment SPM-ICE 561667

A cold beverage dispenser keeps drinks chilled and ready to serve by circulating refrigerant through a cooling system that surrounds the tanks. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the liquid inside, lowering its temperature without freezing it. This method maintains a consistent chill, ensuring drinks stay fresh and at the right consistency for hours, even in a busy environment. LED lighting inside the tanks highlights the contents, making them more appealing to customers while also helping to create a gentle mixing effect that prevents separation or settling of ingredients.

The I-PRO 3 ELECTRONIC from SPM-ICE holds three separate 11-litre tanks, allowing different drinks to be served at once without flavour transfer. To use it, the operator fills each tank with the prepared beverage, then sets the desired temperature and consistency using the electronic keypad. The machine automatically switches between production mode and stand-by mode once the drink reaches the programmed state, reducing energy use while keeping the contents ready. An integrated diagnostic system displays any operational issues on the screen, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.

The dispenser is built with a patented I-Tank insulated bowl, which minimises the effect of ambient temperature on the drinks. This insulation improves cooling efficiency, helping to maintain stable drink quality throughout service. The exterior is available in black or white, and the unit measures 600 mm wide, 580 mm deep and 870 mm high, fitting neatly on most worktops or counters. At 81 kg, it is a sturdy unit that remains stable during use but may require two people to move.

Controls include an electronic keypad for programming daily or weekly operation cycles. The machine runs on a 220-240 V supply, which is standard for professional catering equipment in the UK. The 1.4 kW power rating reflects the energy needed to chill three tanks simultaneously while maintaining efficiency. The refrigerant used is R290, a hydrocarbon with low environmental impact, suitable for modern commercial kitchens.

Cleaning involves emptying and rinsing the tanks regularly, as well as wiping down the exterior and keypad. The optional autofill lid allows automatic filling of the tanks, either for pre-mix or post-mix setups, reducing manual handling. Another optional feature is the n-UVA lights sanitation system, which helps keep the tanks hygienic between deep cleans.

Variants include the base model and the version with the n-UVA sanitation system, available at an additional cost. The dispenser is categorised under cold beverage equipment in the SPM-ICE professional range.
