SnoMaster SM-700 Ice Vending Machine – 700 Kg/Day Commercial Square Ice Maker
The SnoMaster SM-700 ice vending machine is a high-capacity, plumbed-in commercial square ice maker that produces up to 700 kg — roughly 1,543 lb — of clear square block ice every 24 hours and holds it in an insulated 320 kg (about 705 lb) storage bin. Each freeze cycle drops 377 uniform square cubes measuring 20 × 30 × 30 mm, so the bin refills fast even during peak demand. It is the machine you buy when a countertop cuber can no longer keep up: ice vending and bagging stations, restaurants, bars, hotels, and event venues that burn through hundreds of pounds of ice a day.
The full-height stainless steel cabinet stands 1950 mm tall (about 76.8 in) with a digital control panel and internal LED display, an ice-full sensor that pauses production when the bin tops out, and a water-low sensor that protects the system if supply drops. A gravity-fed drain keeps installation simple, and the unit ships with a disposable water filter cartridge, inlet and outlet pipes, and an ice scoop. Rated to keep producing in ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (109 °F), it is engineered for hot, demanding environments where lesser ice makers stall.

Key Features
- 700 kg/24 hr output — one of the highest-capacity square ice makers in its footprint class, producing 377 cubes per cycle around the clock.
- 320 kg insulated storage bin keeps a deep buffer of ready ice so rush periods never empty the well.
- Smart automation — the ice-full sensor stops production when the bin is loaded and the water-low sensor guards the pump, so the SM-700 runs largely unattended.
- Digital control panel with internal LED display for simple on/off scheduling and status checks.
- Gravity-fed drain and plumbed water inlet with a disposable filter cartridge included for cleaner, clearer cubes.
- Stainless steel cabinet that cleans easily and holds up in commercial kitchens, back-of-house, and outdoor-adjacent installs.
- Hot-climate rating — specified to keep producing in ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (109 °F).
About SnoMaster
SnoMaster is a refrigeration manufacturer founded in 2002 and based in Germiston, South Africa, in the Johannesburg metro. The company built its name on ice makers and rugged portable fridge/freezers engineered for extreme heat, then grew into a full commercial line spanning ice machines from compact 26 kg units to high-output models like this SM-700, along with beverage and wine coolers. SnoMaster products are exported to the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and beyond, and the brand’s hot-climate engineering is exactly what you want in an ice machine that has to perform through a July heat wave.
Where the SM-700 Earns Its Keep
A SnoMaster SM-700 ice vending machine setup makes sense anywhere ice is either sold directly or consumed in bulk. Operators typically pair a high-output maker like this with a bagging station or self-serve ice vending kiosk at car washes, gas stations, marinas, campgrounds, and convenience stores — ice costs pennies per pound in water and power to produce, which is why bagged and vended ice is typically one of the strongest-margin products in the industry. On the hospitality side, the SM-700 supplies restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, banquet halls, and event venues where a single busy weekend can consume hundreds of pounds of cube ice.
With a 950 mm (37.4 in) depth, plan a dedicated corner near a water line and drain rather than a countertop slot. If you are comparing output classes and cube styles before committing, our Buyers Guide walks through how to size an ice machine to your real daily demand, and the full ice vending machine collection shows self-contained vending alternatives at other capacities.
Condition, Warranty & What’s Included
This SM-700 is sold new and is covered by our 2-year limited parts-and-service warranty on new machines, which includes replacement parts, labor, and remote technical support for US customers. In the box you get the ice maker head, the 320 kg insulated storage bin, a disposable water filter cartridge, water inlet and outlet pipes, and an ice scoop — everything needed for a standard plumbed installation. Note the electrical spec: the unit draws 2,860 W on a 220–240 V supply at 15.5 A, so plan a dedicated high-voltage circuit and confirm compatibility with your electrician (or with our team) before install day.

SnoMaster SM-700 Ice Vending Machine — FAQ
How much ice does the SnoMaster SM-700 produce per day?
Up to 700 kg — approximately 1,543 lb — of square block ice every 24 hours, produced at 377 cubes per cycle and stored in a 320 kg (about 705 lb) insulated bin.
What size and type of ice does it make?
Clear square block ice measuring 20 × 30 × 30 mm per cube — a dense, slow-melting format that suits bagging, beverage service, and self-serve vending equally well.
What power supply does the SM-700 need?
It runs on 220–240 V / 50 Hz with a 2,860 W input and a 15.5 A rated current, so it needs a dedicated high-voltage circuit rather than a standard 120 V wall outlet. Confirm your site’s electrical compatibility with a licensed electrician or with our team before ordering.
Does it need a water line and drain?
Yes. The SM-700 is a plumbed-in machine with a water inlet (pipes included), a disposable water filter cartridge, and a gravity-fed drain system, plus a water-low sensor that protects the unit if supply is interrupted.
Is this machine new or refurbished?
New. It carries our 2-year limited parts-and-service warranty covering replacement parts, labor, and remote tech support for US customers.
Will it fit through a standard doorway?
The assembled unit measures 1950 mm H × 1230 mm W × 950 mm D (about 76.8 × 48.4 × 37.4 in), so it will not pass through a standard 36-inch door in one piece facing forward. The head unit (105 kg) and storage bin (70 kg) are separate pieces, which makes moving it through commercial entries manageable — plan the delivery path before it arrives.
How is delivery handled?
Freight shipping is free across the continental US. Orders are processed, tested, and prepared within 1–2 business days after payment confirmation, with curbside freight delivery typically arriving in 3–7 business days.
