With the new partition wall from Ice Forward, you can produce two smaller ice blocks simultaneously. This makes handling even easier and less complicated! The blocks have a footprint of approximately 24x60cm and an individually adjustable height of 15–24cm. Simply place the partition wall in the machine, put two bags in it and fill them with water! The partition wall can be removed at any time. It is produced in Germany and made of the same high-quality stainless steel that is used for our machine.

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