Ice generator KASTEL KS120/30-W/A

The KASTEL KS120/30 creates granular ice continuously at a temperature just below 0 °C, containing roughly 25% residual water.

Water is drawn from the supply, chilled through refrigeration, and formed into semi-frozen granules before collecting in the built-in container. A mechanical control system manages the cycle, while a water-cooling loop dissipates heat, enabling steady operation in warm or outdoor settings.

To operate, connect the water inlet and plug the unit into a 230 V socket. Set the mechanical switch to start; the compressor and pump activate automatically. Water enters the evaporator, where refrigerant R290 extracts heat, producing granular ice. The ice falls into the 30 kg container. When full, production pauses until ice is removed, then resumes without intervention.

The stainless-steel cabinet resists wear and cleans easily in busy kitchens. Its dimensions—500 mm wide, 670 mm deep, and 810 mm high—allow placement under most worktops or on sturdy shelves. Weighing 65 kg, it can be positioned by two people without special tools.

A single mechanical switch controls the unit. No digital display or adjustable settings are included; ice forms at a consistent temperature just below freezing.

With a power rating of 0.68 kW, the machine suits standard electrical circuits. The 230 V, 50 Hz voltage aligns with UK commercial and domestic supplies, requiring no additional wiring.

Maintenance involves wiping stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The water-cooling system needs periodic flushing to prevent limescale, and the condenser coil should be cleared of dust. The 30 kg container detaches for emptying and washing.

Two versions exist: the standard model and one with a water-cooling system, available for an additional £50.

Designed for professional use, the KS120/30 suits bars, restaurants, and event catering.
