Detailed Equipment Introduction
Gain in-depth insights into Crescent Ice Maker-AM Series for Bars, Hotels, and High-Traffic Beverage Service equipment’s working principles, application scenarios, and technical highlights.
Product Introduction
Built around a four-model ladder from 90 kg to 900 kg per 24 hours, the Crescent Ice Maker-AM Series is engineered for venues where ice hardness, slow melt, and visual presentation matter as much as raw output. Crescent ice — harder than flake or snowflake, slower-melting than square cubes — holds its shape in cocktails, seafood displays, and premium beverage service, reducing dilution during long service windows. The AM Series lets buyers match capacity to venue tier: AM-200 for small cafés and KTVs, AM-400 for bars and bakeries, AM-1000 for hotels and event catering, and AM-1800 for large restaurants and hospital beverage service.
AM-400 and AM-1000 are the line's high-traffic bestsellers, rated for 20+ drink orders per hour in venues where peak-hour throughput defines the operator's revenue. AM-400's 180 kg/24h capacity fits bars and bakeries running continuous beverage service, while AM-1000's 480 kg/24h output covers hotel banquet floors and event catering stations that need reliable ice supply across multiple simultaneous service points. For operators planning a complete beverage station, the AM Series integrates into a broader commercial kitchen equipment plan that pairs crescent ice generation with downstream dispensing and display.
Technical Specification
| Model | 24h Capacity | Dimensions (L×W×H) | Best For |
|---|
| AM-200 | 90 kg | 680 × 680 × 980 mm | Small cafés, KTVs |
| AM-400 | 180 kg | 560 × 860 × 1700 mm | Bars, bakeries (20+ drinks/hour bestseller) |
| AM-1000 | 480 kg | 760 × 860 × 1900 mm | Hotels, event catering (20+ drinks/hour bestseller) |
| AM-1800 | 900 kg | 1220 × 960 × 2020 mm | Large restaurants, hospitals |
Ice shape: crescent (hard, slow-melting). All models ship air-cooled with automatic harvest and integrated storage bin. Voltage configurable to 220V or 380V per destination facility standard.
Working Process
- Connect water supply and power, then initialize the refrigeration loop — AM-200/400 on 220V for café and bar installations, AM-1000/1800 on 220V or 380V for hotel, restaurant, and hospital deployments.
- Crescent ice forms on the evaporator grid and is harvested automatically into the integrated storage bin, where the hard crescent shape resists clumping and stays loose for easy dispensing during peak service.
- Dispense crescent ice into cocktail shakers, beverage glasses, or seafood display beds. For venues running parallel preservation and beverage service, pair the AM Series with a Flake Ice Machine-AP Series to cover seafood and produce display alongside drink-grade crescent ice.
- Flush the water circuit weekly, inspect the evaporator grid monthly for mineral scale, and validate refrigerant pressure quarterly. Run a daily ice-hardness and clarity check before first service to confirm the crescent shape meets beverage-presentation standards.
Applications
- Small cafés and KTV beverage stations requiring 90 kg/24h (AM-200)
- Bars and bakeries running 20+ drink orders per hour (AM-400)
- Hotel banquet floors and event catering stations (AM-1000)
- Large restaurants and hospital beverage service requiring 900 kg/24h (AM-1800)
- Cocktail bars where slow-melting crescent ice protects drink integrity
- Seafood display counters using crescent ice for visual presentation
Advantages
- Four-model ladder from 90 kg to 900 kg per 24 hours lets buyers match capacity to venue tier — from a single KTV station to a hospital beverage service — without switching ice-shape platforms.
- Crescent ice hardness resists quick melting, reducing drink dilution in cocktails and premium beverages while holding shape in seafood display beds longer than square or crushed ice.
- AM-400 and AM-1000 are validated high-traffic bestsellers rated for 20+ drink orders per hour, giving operators a proven throughput benchmark for peak-hour bar and hotel service.
- Standardized footprint family within capacity tiers (680×680 mm for AM-200, 560×860 mm for AM-400, 760×860 mm for AM-1000, 1220×960 mm for AM-1800) supports multi-venue layout planning.
- Automatic harvest and integrated storage bin reduce manual handling, supporting continuous service during banquet shifts and hospital meal windows.
- Air-cooled condenser family eliminates cooling-water infrastructure dependency, simplifying installation in existing bars, cafés, and restaurant retrofit projects.
CTA
- Request a quote with your venue type, peak-hour drink volume, and daily ice demand.
- Ask HSYL engineers for venue-tier model selection — AM-200 for entry, AM-400/1000 for high-traffic flagship, AM-1800 for institutional scale.
- Confirm voltage, dimensions, and installation clearance for your bar, hotel, or hospital layout.
