Ice generator KASTEL KS600-W/A

A commercial ice maker that produces granular ice continuously for bars, restaurants and display counters.

The machine operates by circulating refrigerant through a closed system to freeze water on a cooled surface. As the ice forms, a mechanical scraper removes it in small grains, which fall into a separate storage container. This method ensures consistent ice quality and steady output regardless of ambient temperature, provided the water supply remains uninterrupted.

To use the KS600, connect the water inlet and power supply, then set the mechanical controls to start production. The machine runs automatically, producing ice until the storage container reaches capacity or the controls are adjusted. Operators monitor the container level and remove ice as needed for service or display.

The KS600 is constructed with a stainless-steel exterior and internal components designed for durability in high-intensity environments. A water-cooling system is available as an optional variant, which enhances performance in warmer or poorly ventilated spaces.

Controls consist of mechanical switches and dials that regulate the production cycle and power supply. These allow operators to start, stop and adjust the machine without digital interfaces, ensuring straightforward operation even in busy settings.

With a 2.0 kW power rating, the KS600 requires a dedicated 230 V circuit capable of handling its load without voltage drops. The 102 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two-person lift, and its 605 x 570 x 725 mm footprint fits on most worktops or under counters in bars and cafés. The 600 kg daily capacity supports continuous service in restaurants, hotel breakfast areas and event catering without frequent refills.

Cleaning involves regular removal of ice from the storage container and periodic descaling of internal components to prevent mineral build-up. The mechanical control system simplifies maintenance, as there are no electronic panels to reset or recalibrate.

The KS600 is available in a standard model and a water-cooled variant, which is selected based on ambient conditions and ventilation in the installation space.

This ice maker is categorised under professional refrigeration equipment for beverage and display applications.
