  • Pros: The internal components are surprisingly easy to access for routine cleaning.
  • Cons: The storage bin isn't the largest, so it may need emptying during extreme peaks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Ferryman's Rest, a popular harbourside pub in Falmouth, Cornwall, was struggling with an ageing ice machine that couldn't cope with the summer tourist season. They upgraded to the Simag SDH64 ice maker to guarantee a reliable supply for their busy bar.

"We used to send staff out for bags of ice on a Saturday. It was a nightmare. The Simag just works. It's quiet, it's consistent, and  it hasn't missed a beat since we installed it. We can finally focus on our customers instead of worrying about the ice running out."

Michael Davies – Landlord, The Ferryman's Rest

The upgrade completely eliminated ice shortages during peak hours, reducing drink preparation times and  improving overall bar efficiency on their busiest days.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is on a firm, level surface to allow for proper operation and  drainage.
  • Leave at least 15cm of clearance around the sides and  back for good air circulation to prevent overheating.
  • Connect to a potable water supply and  ensure a gravity drain is available nearby and  lower than the outlet.
  • Before its first proper use, run a full cleaning cycle as per the manual to sanitise the system.

Keeping It Going

  • Activate the built-in cleaning cycle at least once a month to keep the interior pristine.
  • Regularly wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its finish.
  • Check and  clean the air filter every few weeks—a clogged filter makes the machine work harder.
  • Depending on your water hardness, schedule a professional de-scaling every 6-12 months to prevent build-up.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ice Machine

Finding the perfect ice machine can feel a bit frosty, can't it? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right fit for your business.

Cube Type Matters

Hollow cubes, like the ones this Simag makes, cool drinks fast. Solid cubes melt slower. Think about what you're serving most to decide what's best for you.

Production vs. Storage

Look at daily production (kg/24hr) and  bin capacity. A high-output machine needs a bin that can hold enough ice for your busiest couple of hours.

Air-Cooled or Water-Cooled?

Air-cooled machines (like this one) are the most common and  easiest to install, but need good ventilation. Water-cooled models are quieter but use more water.

Footprint & Ventilation

Always measure your space twice! Remember to leave enough room around the unit for air to circulate freely—it's vital for efficiency and  longevity.

Water Quality & Filtration

Hard water can cause limescale build-up and  damage your machine over time. Investing in a good water filter is one of the best ways to protect your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much ice does this machine actually make?

A: It has a production capacity of up to 63 kilograms of ice over a 24-hour period, which is ideal for most busy bars, cafes, and  restaurants.

Q: What shape are the ice cubes?

A: It produces hollow, thimble-shaped ice cubes, which are excellent for rapidly cooling drinks.

Q: Does the Simag SDH64 need a drain?

A: Yes, like all commercial ice makers, it requires a gravity drain to be installed nearby to remove excess water from the ice-making process and  meltwater.

Q: What kind of power supply is needed?

A: It runs on a standard 13 amp supply, meaning you can plug it straight into a regular UK socket. No special wiring required.

Q: How often should I clean this ice maker?

A: We recommend using the built-in cleaning system at least once a month, and  more frequently in very busy environments, to ensure hygienic ice production.

Q: Is this machine noisy to run?

A: It operates at a low noise level typical for an air-cooled machine. Placing it with adequate ventilation helps it run as quietly as possible.

Q: Where is the best place to install it?

A: It's best installed in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources like ovens or grills, on a solid, level floor.

Q: What is R290 refrigerant?

A: R290 is a natural, non-toxic hydrocarbon refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP). It's highly energy-efficient and  a much more environmentally friendly choice.

How the Vertical Pump Delivers Crystal-Clear Ice

Ever wondered why some ice is cloudy and  some is perfectly clear? It often comes down to the pump. The Simag SDH64 uses a vertical pump system. Think of it like a tiny, continuous fountain inside the machine. As water is pumped upwards to freeze into cubes, minerals and  air bubbles—the things that make ice cloudy and  weak—are naturally washed away and  flushed out. This constant circulation means only the purest water freezes, creating harder, clearer, thimble-shaped cubes that melt slower in your customers' drinks. It's a simple bit of physics that makes a massive difference to quality.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Cocktail Bars: The fast-cooling hollow cubes are ideal for shaking and  stirring signature cocktails without over-diluting.
  • Hotel Restaurants: Reliably meets the demands of all-day service, from breakfast juice displays to evening bar orders.
  • Community Pubs & Inns: An essential upgrade to keep up with busy weekend trade and  ensure every pint is perfectly chilled.
  • High-Street Cafes: Perfect for producing plenty of ice for popular iced coffees, smoothies, and  cold drinks during summer.
