Snomaster SM-150 150 kg Plumbed-In Commercial Ice Maker – Square Block Ice

Snomaster 150 kg Commercial Ice Maker (SM-150) – High-Volume Square Block Ice

The Snomaster 150 kg commercial ice maker is a plumbed-in, heavy-duty ice machine engineered for businesses that burn through ice all day. Model SM-150 produces up to 150 kg (roughly 330 lb) of clear square block ice per 24 hours, cycling out about 180 cubes every 25 minutes into an integrated stainless-steel storage bin. When the bin fills, the ice-full sensor pauses production automatically, so the machine only makes what you can hold.

Because it is plumbed directly into a 1/2″ water line with a gravity-fed drain, there is no manual refilling and no buckets – water in, ice out, continuously. The dense ~22 x 22 x 24 mm square cubes melt slowly, chill drinks without watering them down, and pack tightly for storage and transport. That combination of volume, cube quality, and rust-resistant stainless construction is why the SM-150 lands in restaurant back-of-house, bar wells, hotel banquet stations, and food-service prep areas.

Snomaster SM-150 Specifications

Key Features

• 150 kg daily output – enough clear ice to run a busy bar, kitchen, or beverage station without running dry at peak.
• Square block ice – dense ~22 mm cubes melt slowly and look clean in glassware.
• Ice-full and low-water sensors – the unit stops making ice when the bin is full and protects itself if the water supply drops.
• Plumbed-in convenience – permanent 1/2″ water feed with a gravity drain means no manual filling; the drain point simply needs to sit below the machine.
• Disposable water filter cartridge included – cleaner inlet water for clearer, better-tasting ice.
• Stainless-steel build with air-filtered condenser – durable, wipe-clean surfaces and easy condenser maintenance.

Where This Machine Earns Its Keep

A Snomaster 150 kg commercial ice maker is sized for operations where ice demand is steady and high. It typically fits well in full-service restaurants, cocktail bars and nightclubs, hotel banquet and room-service operations, catering and event businesses, and healthcare or care-facility kitchens. As a rule of thumb, a single high-volume location that currently buys bagged ice or refills a small counter maker is the classic upgrade candidate – the plumbed-in feed removes the labor of hauling and dumping bags. Plan placement around a nearby cold-water line, a drain lower than the machine, and adequate ventilation for the condenser.

Compared with counter-top or under-counter makers that top out at 20–40 kg a day, the SM-150 is a real step up into production capacity. Operators who have outgrown bagged-ice deliveries usually recover the machine cost through the labor and per-bag savings alone, though actual payback depends on your local ice pricing, water and power rates, and daily volume. Because it is a fixed, plumbed-in installation rather than a portable unit, the Snomaster 150 kg commercial ice maker is best specified once for a permanent service point rather than wheeled around a facility.

Condition, Power & What’s Included

This SM-150 is offered new and ships with the ice-maker unit, its integrated stainless-steel storage bin, the water filter cartridge, and installation hardware. Note the electrical requirement: the SM-150 runs on a 220–240V / 50Hz supply drawing about 900 W (6.5A). Confirm your site can provide a compatible 220–240V circuit before ordering, and factor in professional plumbing and electrical hookup. New machines carry Finn Vending Sales’ 2-year limited parts-and-service warranty covering replacement parts, labor, and remote technical support for US customers.
