Detailed Equipment Introduction
Gain in-depth insights into Commercial Ice Shaver Machine-SY-168 / SY-158 for Dessert and Beverage Stations equipment’s working principles, application scenarios, and technical highlights.
Product Introduction
For milk tea and dessert operators choosing between a flagship high-volume station and a compact satellite counter, the Commercial Ice Shaver Machine-SY-168 / SY-158 pair covers both ends of the shaved-ice workflow without forcing a single-machine compromise. The SY-168 delivers 8 kg of shaved ice per minute from a 440W motor with a 6 kg per-cycle ice capacity, built for peak-hour dessert lines and resort beverage service. The SY-158 scales down to 4 kg per minute on a 220W motor with a 3 kg per-cycle capacity, fitting tight countertops in satellite stores, seasonal pop-ups, and small dessert corners.
Pairing the two models lets a chain standardize on one shaved-ice platform while matching output to footfall: SY-168 at the flagship where queues build during summer launches, SY-158 at mall kiosks and satellite counters where space and power draw matter more than peak throughput. Both units accept standard ice blocks and support adjustable blade positioning for fine, medium, or coarse shaved ice textures. The blade mechanism is stainless steel and food-contact rated, and the hopper design allows quick cleaning between flavors — a critical factor for dessert shops rotating between fruit, milk tea, and yogurt toppings. For chain-level commercial kitchen equipment planning, the SY pair can be deployed alongside a primary ice generator to form a complete shaved-ice station.

Working Process
- Load a standard ice block into the hopper and close the safety cover — SY-168 accepts blocks up to 6 kg, SY-158 up to 3 kg per cycle.
- Set blade position for the desired shaved-ice texture: fine for milk tea and snow ice, medium for fruit toppings, coarse for layered dessert presentations. Activate the shaver and monitor output through the discharge chute.
- Collect shaved ice directly into serving cups, bowls, or dessert trays. For shops running a full beverage station, pair the SY unit with a Snowflake Ice Machine-SF Series to maintain a steady ice-block supply without interrupting service.
- After each flavor rotation, lift the hopper, rinse the blade housing with potable water, and wipe the discharge chute dry. Run a full blade inspection weekly and confirm the safety cover interlock before each shift restart.
Applications
- Flagship milk tea stores with peak-hour shaved-ice demand (SY-168)
- Dessert chains running fruit, yogurt, and snow ice toppings (SY-168)
- Resort beverage stations and summer event food service (SY-168)
- Mall kiosks and satellite dessert counters (SY-158)
- Seasonal pop-up stores and limited-space beverage corners (SY-158)
- Multi-station chain rollouts standardizing on one shaved-ice platform (SY-168 + SY-158 pair)
Advantages
- Dual-model pair covers flagship (8 kg/min) and satellite (4 kg/min) throughput in one platform, letting chains standardize spare parts and operator training across locations.
- SY-168 delivers 8 kg per minute on a 440W motor, supporting peak-hour service at flagship stores without the power draw of industrial shredders.
- SY-158 fits a 380 × 300 × 460 mm footprint on 220W, allowing deployment in mall kiosks and pop-up counters where counter space and circuit capacity are constrained.
- Adjustable blade positioning produces fine, medium, or coarse shaved ice from the same unit — one machine serves milk tea, fruit desserts, and layered presentations without hardware swaps.
- Stainless steel food-contact blade and quick-release hopper simplify flavor-changeover cleaning, reducing cross-contamination risk between fruit, dairy, and yogurt toppings.
- 6 kg vs 3 kg per-cycle ice capacity gives operators a clear decision rule: SY-168 for high-volume single-load service, SY-158 for frequent small-batch rotation.
