Ice cube maker KASTEL KP25/6-W/A

An ice maker that produces dense, slow-melting cubes continuously for bars, restaurants and hotels. The KASTEL KP 25/6 generates ice by circulating refrigerant through a closed system, chilling water in a mould until it freezes into solid cubes. A timed harvest cycle then releases the cubes into a built-in storage container, ready for immediate use. The process begins when water fills the mould. A refrigeration unit cools the mould below freezing, turning the water into ice. Once the cubes are fully formed, a brief warming phase loosens them, and a mechanical arm or ejector pushes them into the container below. The cycle repeats automatically, maintaining a steady supply of ice without manual intervention. To operate the KP 25/6, connect it to a water supply and a 230 V electrical outlet. The electronic control system allows the operator to start or pause production with a single button. A full container holds approximately 6 kg of ice, signalling when it is time to transfer cubes to a separate storage bin or directly into drinks. The machine continues producing ice until the container reaches capacity, then pauses until space is freed. The exterior is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a professional kitchen. The R290 refrigerant keeps the ice maker running efficiently while producing the slow-melting cubes that preserve drink clarity and chill without dilution. The compact footprint of 365 mm width, 520 mm depth and 600 mm height fits under most worktops or on a sturdy shelf, while the 30 kg weight allows two people to move it without specialised equipment. Controls include an on/off switch and a status indicator that shows whether the machine is producing ice or paused. The electronic system monitors internal conditions, adjusting the cycle to maintain consistent cube quality regardless of ambient temperature. A capacity of 25 kg per 24 hours means the machine can supply a steady flow of ice for a medium-sized bar or restaurant, replenishing stock overnight or during off-peak hours. The 0.21 kW power rating indicates a modest load on the electrical supply, suitable for standard kitchen circuits. The 230 V requirement matches the voltage available in most commercial premises, eliminating the need for special wiring. Cleaning involves emptying the container, wiping the interior surfaces with a mild sanitiser, and periodically descaling the water system to prevent mineral build-up. The stainless steel exterior can be cleaned with standard kitchen detergents, while the refrigeration components require no routine maintenance beyond keeping the condenser free of dust. A variant of this model includes a water cooling system, which improves efficiency in environments with high ambient temperatures or limited airflow. The KP 25/6 is categorised under professional ice makers in the KASTEL range, designed for continuous use in hospitality settings where presentation and drink quality are priorities.
