clearly understand the full ice production process and choose only the equipment you really need — without unnecessary purchases or complicated solutions.
Basically you have 9 stages: you need to
below you can read in details about every step and watch videos, how to do it.
Ice cube production always starts with freezing clear ice blocks. The choice of equipment depends on your space, production volume, and workflow preferences.
After the production of the ice block you have to remove it from the equipment. We use a compact electric hoist specifically designed for ice production. In addition to block removal, it can be used for various workshop tasks and for installing ice sculptures at event locations.
The tilt cart is used to lower, rotate, and transport ice blocks to any processing area (cutting, freezer, truck, etc.
Once the ice block is ready, it must be cut into smaller sections — ice slabs — which will later be processed into cubes.
There are two available methods:
• Manual cutting using a chainsaw (such as Makita or Stihl)
• Cutting with the horizontal band saw C70
For this step, we use a professional stainless steel table saw. Once you have got flat ice slabs from a large block – you can proceed to cut it into cubes 5×5 cm, 4×11 cm, etc.
when you have ready cubes – you can put them in ice press to get spheres, roses, diamonds cylinders, football balls, etc.
After packing ice must be stored in a suitable freezer — walk-in, chest, or upright, depending on the planned production volume.
At the initial stage, a standard commercial freezer (such as those used for ice cream in retail stores) is usually sufficient.
To produce premium clear ice, you need clean drinking water and a reverse osmosis (RO) filtration system.
For crystal clear ice production, the water should have a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level below 20–30 ppm. A standard household reverse osmosis system is usually sufficient to achieve this and can be purchased from most local suppliers or home improvement stores.
Proper water filtration is the key to producing high-quality premium ice with exceptional clarity.
Personalized ice cubes with logos, names, monograms, and custom designs are becoming increasingly popular for weddings, corporate events, cocktail bars, private parties, and luxury celebrations.
There are two main methods for branding ice:
While stamps are suitable for small-scale production, CNC ice engraving offers a fast and fully automated solution. The process requires only a perfectly flat ice slab, while the machine automatically engraves logos, text, or custom artwork with high precision and consistent quality.
The finished cubes, spheres, and diamonds need to be packaged. You can use a plastic bag or a cardboard box for this. Each of these two methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can read more about this here

Separate videos for each model are available on our profile.
Manual cutting is time-consuming and results in higher ice loss, as each slab must be separated individually and then moved for further cutting. However, if workshop space is limited and a large horizontal saw cannot be installed, this method remains a practical option.
Link to this method from our friends
Our horizontal band saw C70 is specifically designed for fast and precise ice slab cutting. In approximately 15 minutes, one large ice block is processed into 15–20 perfectly even slabs with minimal ice loss.
The saw requires a minimum installation area of 2 × 2 meters and an electrical connection of 3-phase or 1-phase power (3.5 kW / 25 A).
The ice block can be cut either directly from the floor with subsequent lifting, or while positioned on a lifting cart (ours or a compatible third-party cart.

If you plan to operate two or more machines, or to store large ice blocks for sculpting, a dedicated freezing room is recommended. Ideally, it should be divided into two temperature zones:
• Negative zone (-10 to -12 °C) for ice storage
• Positive zone ( 0 to +2 °C) for ice cutting and handling)
Cutting ice in a 0 to +2°C environment is significantly more efficient and reduces cracking and ice loss. Please contact our specialist for details.
Recommended setup for a professional start
(Please check prices in the catalogue or in user info block ):
For a minimum start we recommend P30/P150 with 6 small tanks and table saw SX220.
Recommended setup for a compact and cost-effective start (Total cost of equipment around 7 000-9 000 EUR):
Each machine is delivered with a complete set of essential spare and consumable components, including liner bags, drills, stainless steel ice holders, circulation pumps, blades, and other necessary parts.
Additional quantities can be ordered separately at any time, depending on your production needs.
At the initial stage (1–2 machines), deliveries can be done using styrofoam boxes and a standard passenger car (such as VW Golf or similar.
Warranty terms are specified in the catalog. As with all manufacturers, we provide from 1 to 5 years warranty on equipment / equipment components.
Shipping costs are calculated individually, depending on the selected equipment configuration. Self pick up from our warehouse in Milano (Italy) is also possible
What we do not recommend is vacuum packing. In vacuum-sealed packaging, the cubes will freeze together due to temperature fluctuations during shipping and storage.
