Commercial Shaved Ice Machines
Larger commercial shaved ice machines are designed to create the snow-like treat from large blocks of ice and can often shave hundreds of servings an hour. Smaller countertop ice shave machines take cubed ice inserted from a hopper to create dozens of servings in an hour.
Commercial shaved ice machines are a popular addition to establishments such as dessert shops, festivals, and convenience stores. Because shaved ice melts quickly, establishments offering snow cones or shaved ice need to make it fresh to order. By using an ice shave machine, operators can continuously produce hundreds of servings per hour of fresh shaved ice to meet high demand.
A commercial shave ice machine is typically constructed of stainless steel, making for a durable piece of equipment that will resist corrosion or damage. Be advised that these units typically do not produce ice and are used only to shave already-made ice blocks. Commercial shaved ice machines may be battery-powered machines or models that need to be plugged into an electricity source.
