Modular Ice Machines

Atlantic Equipment stocks a comprehensive range of commercial modular ice machines for Australian hospitality and food service operations. Modular ice makers pair a high-output ice maker head with a separate storage bin, allowing independent configuration of production capacity and ice storage to match your operation's demand — ideal for hotels, hospitals, large restaurants, and food production facilities. Browse the full range or call our team to discuss your daily ice requirements.

Commercial Modular Ice Machines for Professional Kitchens

Modular ice machines consist of a separate ice maker head and storage bin, allowing the production and storage capacity to be independently sized for maximum operational efficiency. This distinguishes them from self-contained units where production and storage are fixed in a single enclosure. Modular systems are the preferred choice for large-scale operations — where daily ice demand exceeds the capacity of a single self-contained unit — including large hotels, hospital food services, sports facilities, and food manufacturing. Daily production rates in our range extend from 220kg to over 650kg per 24 hours, with ice types including full dice, half dice, and granular (nugget) ice to suit different beverage service, food display, and processing applications.

Our Modular Ice Machine Range

Our modular ice machine range features two leading brands. Skope’s SPIKA MS series covers production rates from 220kg/day (MS220) up to 405kg/day (MS410) in both full dice and half dice ice formats, using R452A refrigerant and backed by a 2-year warranty. The Skope ICE QUEEN IQ200 produces granular (wet) ice at 220kg/day — ideal for fish, seafood, and produce display. Scotsman NWH and NWL series heads cover production from 307kg/day through to 650kg/day in full dice and large dice formats, with XSafe antimicrobial protection on contact surfaces, and are partnered with Scotsman’s SB series storage bins. All heads are air-cooled and designed for ambient temperatures up to 43°C.

Modular Ice Machines FAQs

What types of modular ice machines does Atlantic Equipment stock?

We stock modular ice maker heads in full dice, half dice, and granular ice formats from Skope and Scotsman, with daily production capacities from 220kg up to 650kg per 24 hours. Matching storage bins are available separately. Skope models use R290 or R452A refrigerant; Scotsman NWH and NWL series feature XSafe antimicrobial protection.

What should I look for when choosing a modular ice machine?

The most critical factor is daily ice production capacity — calculated based on peak daily demand with a safety margin of at least 20%. Also consider the ice type required (full dice for drinks, half dice for blended beverages, granular for produce and seafood display), ambient temperature of the installation environment (all our models are rated to 43°C), water quality requirements, and the size of the storage bin needed to buffer production against demand peaks.

What brands of modular ice machines are available?

We stock Skope modular ice machines including the SPIKA MS and ICE QUEEN IQ200 series, backed by a 2-year warranty and Skope’s Australian service network. We also carry the Scotsman NWH and NWL modular series, which feature XSafe antimicrobial protection and are distributed through Moffat’s national service infrastructure.

Does Atlantic Equipment deliver modular ice machines across Australia?

Yes, we deliver to all states and territories. Modular ice machine heads and storage bins are bulky, heavy items that require careful freight handling. Tailgate delivery is recommended for most sites. Contact our team before ordering to confirm freight costs, delivery access, and installation requirements for your location.

What is the difference between full dice, half dice, and granular ice?

Full dice ice (typically around 28mm x 22mm x 28mm) is a large, slow-melting cube suited to cocktails, spirits, and premium beverage service. Half dice is a smaller cube ideal for blended drinks and general bar and beverage use. Granular (nugget or wet) ice consists of small, soft, irregularly shaped pieces that mould around product — making it ideal for presenting fish, seafood, and fresh produce in display cases. The right choice depends on your primary application.
