ICE TECH FD/HD SLIM Ice Dispenser for High-Volume Use

An ice dispenser built for continuous service in busy outlets, the ICE TECH FD/HD SLIM holds and delivers ice without manual handling. It pairs with ICE TECH FD and HD ice makers that produce cubes in a vertical evaporator, stacking them ready for use. The dispenser's hopper keeps the ice at serving temperature while a motorised auger moves it to the outlet, letting staff or customers draw ice on demand without opening a lid or touching the cubes. The push-button chute delivers a measured cascade of cubes directly into the glass without touching the rim, so staff can keep one hand on the soda gun and the other on the till. The unit is installed alongside an FD or HD ice maker, which fills the dispenser automatically. When ice is needed, the operator presses the release button or foot pedal; the auger turns, lifting ice from the bottom of the hopper and guiding it down the chute. A sensor stops the motor once the portion is dispensed, preventing overfill and spillage. The process is hygienic, as the ice never leaves the closed system until it reaches the glass or container. The FD/HD SLIM is constructed in stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in wet environments. The exterior panels and interior hopper are both made from the same material, ensuring durability under daily use. Adjustable legs raise the unit 154 mm off the floor, allowing mops to pass underneath and reducing the risk of water ingress. Controls are minimal: a power switch and a dispensing button or pedal. The button is typically mounted on the front panel, while the pedal is positioned at floor level for hands-free operation. Both activate the same auger mechanism, so the choice depends on the workflow of the venue. The 58 kg and 46 kg capacities refer to the maximum ice storage when paired with FD and HD ice makers respectively. These figures indicate how much ice the dispenser can hold between refills, allowing it to serve large numbers of customers without interruption. The 73 kg weight means the unit is stable on the floor and can be moved with a trolley or pallet jack, but is not designed to be carried by hand. The footprint of 559 mm by 835 mm fits into tight back-of-house areas, while the slim profile leaves more worktop space for other equipment. Stainless-steel walls and a sloped floor channel meltwater straight to the drain, letting you wipe down the interior in one pass with a sanitising cloth after each rush. The stainless steel hopper and chute can be wiped down with a sanitising solution, and the auger is removable for thorough cleaning. The legs and base are designed to be accessible for mopping, and the unit's sealed design prevents ice from coming into contact with floor debris. Two variants exist: one optimised for FD ice makers (large cubes) and one for HD ice makers (half cubes). Both share the same external dimensions and controls, so the choice depends on the type of ice the venue requires. The FD/HD SLIM is listed in the catalogue under professional refrigeration and ice-making equipment, alongside other ICE TECH dispensers and storage bins.
