FAQ

Where can I order?

Just send us an e-mail at info@iceforward.com and let us know the desired articles and the delivery address. We take over further handling personally or recommend a dealer in your region.

How do the ice blocks of the Ice Forward ice machine become so clear?

The special isolation, sophisticated design, high-quality workmanship, and circulation of the water in the tank impact the freezing process and ensure the production of preferably clear ice blocks.

What are the dimensions of the Ice Forward ice machine?

The machine is 75.2cm wide, 72cm deep and 92.8cm high. This makes it no larger than a standard dishwasher. Make sure that there is space of at least 60cm above the machine. This makes it possible to open the lid completely and enables convenient filling.

Which connections are necessary for the Ice Forward ice machine?

A simple socket (230V, 50Hz) is all you need. Each machine is equipped with an approx. 230cm long plug cable. A separate water connection is not required.

Which information is vital in regards to voltage and power input?

The operating voltage is 230 V/50 Hz. The overall power input is 384 watt (cooling unit 2.8 ampere at 380 watt, cooling controller 4 watt).

How much water is necessary for an ice block?

Depending on the filling level, approx. 40–60 litres of water are required for a large ice block. If the partition wall is used, approx. 20–30 litres of water are required for a small ice block.

How long does it take to produce an ice block?

The freezing time depends on the chosen fill level and the ambient conditions. Standard periods are between 24 and 48 hours.

How big and how heavy are the produced ice blocks?

The ice blocks generated by the Ice Forward ice machine are approximately 48cm in width and approximately 60cm in depth. By adapting the water quantity, the height of the blocks can be adjusted individually. To enable good further processing, we recommend a height of approximately 15 to 24 cm. The weight of the ice blocks is approximately 35-50 kg.

How large and how heavy are the ice blocks that are produced when the partition wall is used?

If you use the Ice Forward partition wall in your machine, you can simultaneously produce two ice blocks with a footprint of approx. 24x30cm. The height of the blocks can be adjusted individually by changing the water quantity. We recommend a height of approx. 15–24cm for good further processing. The weight of the ice blocks is approx. 17–25kg per ice block.

How can the ice blocks be removed from the machine?

The partition walls are disengaged after the freezing process. The block should be at rest for a moment. Through the opening at the front of the machine, the block can easily be removed (e.g. lifting the block on a service vehicle). Unlike other ice block machines, you do not need expensive accessory equipment such as a crane or lifting aid.

Where can I get tools for further processing?

You can use the ice blocks whole or crushed. We are happy to recommend established suppliers of saws, ice picks and more to our customers.
