Flake Pellet Ice Machine-AF Series for Commercial Ice Supply

Detailed Equipment Introduction

Gain in-depth insights into Flake Pellet Ice Machine-AF Series for Commercial Ice Supply equipment’s working principles, application scenarios, and technical highlights.

Product Introduction

When one venue needs ice for both food display and beverage service, choosing only one ice format can create storage, workflow, and equipment-count problems. The Flake Pellet Ice Machine-AF Series is built for operators who need flexible daily ice output from 20 kg to 120 kg while keeping installation and operation simple.

Its air-cooled design, 220V configuration, and compact model range make it suitable for small retail stores, hotel service areas, beverage counters, and high-traffic commercial environments. For buyers planning a broader cold-service layout, the AF Series can be included in a wider commercial kitchen ice equipment solution.

Technical Specifications of AF Series

Model	Dimensions (mm)	Cooling Method	Ice Production (24h)	Voltage	Power
AF-45	330 x 500 x 605	Air-cooled	20 kg	220V	280W
AF-120	400 x 530 x 730	Air-cooled	50 kg	220V	400W
AF-220	660 x 700 x 1060	Air-cooled	100 kg	220V	620W
AF-250	660 x 700 x 1060	Air-cooled	120 kg	220V	650W

Daily ice production options range from 20 kg to 120 kg, meeting the needs of both small retail stores and high-traffic commercial environments.

Working Process

Confirm the required daily ice volume and select AF-45, AF-120, AF-220, or AF-250 according to store traffic and service hours.
Connect the water inlet, drainage, ventilation clearance, and 220V power supply according to the selected installation position.
Start the air-cooled ice-making cycle and collect ice for food display, beverage preparation, or multi-purpose service use.
Clean the ice contact area, water path, and ventilation section regularly to maintain stable ice output and food-safe operation.

For operators focused mainly on seafood counters or food display, the AF Series can be compared with the Flake Ice Machine-AP Series. For drink texture and dessert service, it can also be evaluated alongside the Snowflake Ice Machine-SF Series.

Applications

Retail food display counters
Hotel beverage and buffet service areas
Small supermarkets and fresh food stores
Restaurant cold-service preparation
High-traffic commercial drink counters

The highest-value application is mixed-use service, where one business needs ice for chilled food presentation during the day and drink preparation during peak service hours.

Advantages

Covers four daily output levels from 20 kg to 120 kg, helping buyers match model size to actual traffic instead of oversizing the machine.
Supports dual-use ice planning for venues that need both food display support and beverage service flexibility.
Uses air-cooled refrigeration, reducing installation complexity in stores where water-cooled equipment is not practical.
Runs on 220V across the listed AF models, simplifying electrical planning for retail and commercial kitchen environments.
Offers compact model options such as AF-45 and AF-120 for limited counter or back-room space.
Can be paired with the Bullet Ice Maker-SC Series when a site needs dedicated slow-melting beverage ice in addition to flake or pellet ice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which AF Series flake pellet ice machine is suitable for a small retail store?

AF-45 or AF-120 is usually the first range to compare for small retail stores because they provide 20 kg and 50 kg daily ice production with compact dimensions.

Can the AF Series support both food display and beverage service?

Yes, the AF Series is positioned for mixed commercial use where operators need ice for food display, drink preparation, and flexible daily service demand.

What maintenance does an air-cooled flake pellet ice machine need?

Routine maintenance should include cleaning the ice contact area, checking the water path, keeping ventilation clear, and inspecting drainage to maintain stable ice output.

What is the lead time for the Flake Pellet Ice Machine-AF Series?

Lead time depends on model availability, order quantity, voltage confirmation, and production schedule, so the final delivery date should be confirmed with HSYL before ordering.

Is 220V standard for all AF Series models?

The listed AF-45, AF-120, AF-220, and AF-250 specifications all show 220V, but buyers should confirm local electrical standards, plug type, and frequency before shipment.

How much ice can the AF-250 produce in 24 hours?

The AF-250 model is specified for 120 kg per 24 hours, making it suitable for higher-traffic commercial environments and larger service areas.

How is the AF Series different from a bullet ice maker?

The AF Series is better for flexible food display and mixed-use ice supply, while a bullet ice maker is usually selected for dedicated beverage service and slow-melting drink ice.
