Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Anchor & Crown, a popular waterfront pub in Bristol, found their old ice crusher couldn't keep up with their new, expanded cocktail menu, creating a bottleneck at the bar during peak hours.

"We were manually crushing ice to keep up, which was slow and inconsistent. The Waring IC20CE was a breath of fresh air. It's fast, reliable, and the team can serve premium cocktails much more efficiently now. Our customers have noticed the difference in speed and quality."

Robert Davies – Bar Manager

The pub now produces crushed ice on demand, reducing customer wait times for cocktails by an average of 40% on busy weekend evenings.

Why Adjustable Height is a Bar's Best Friend

Ever watched a bartender scoop crushed ice from a container, spill half of it on the counter, then tip the rest into a blender? The height adjustment feature on the Waring IC20CE is designed to eliminate that clumsy, wasteful step. Think of it like a coffee grinder that dispenses directly into the filter basket – it's all about a seamless workflow. You can position your blender jug or serving glass right under the chute, dispensing the perfect amount of ice directly where you need it. This not only speeds up your drink-making process but also keeps your workspace cleaner and reduces ice wastage, saving you time and money during a hectic shift.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Find a flat, stable, and level surface for the unit, away from any heat sources.
Ensure the power cord can reach a suitable 13-amp socket without being stretched or creating a trip hazard.
Before first use, wipe down the unit and wash the collection container with warm, soapy water.
Do a quick test run with a small amount of ice to ensure everything is working correctly.

Keeping It Going

Always unplug the machine from the mains before attempting any cleaning.
Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth after each day of use.
Never immerse the main motor unit in water.
Regularly empty and clean the ice collection bowl to maintain hygiene standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ice Crusher

Not sure which ice crusher is the right fit for your business? Here are a few things to consider.

Output vs. Demand

Estimate how many drinks or dishes requiring crushed ice you serve on your busiest day. Choose a machine with an hourly output (like 30kg/hr) that can comfortably exceed that demand.

Footprint and Space

Measure your available counter space. A compact, countertop model like this one is versatile, but ensure you have enough room for safe operation and access for cleaning.

Motor Power

For commercial use, a powerful motor (like this 1hp model) is non-negotiable. It prevents jams and ensures the machine can handle continuous use during peak times without overheating.

Durability and Materials

Look for stainless steel components. They resist rust, withstand the rigours of a commercial kitchen, and are far easier to keep hygienically clean.

Ease of Use

Your team is busy. A machine with simple, intuitive controls means less training time and fewer operational errors. Features like direct dispensing also boost efficiency.
