Stalgast Electric Ice Crusher for Professional Kitchens

An electric ice crusher reduces block or cube ice to fine flakes or coarse granules in seconds. A motor spins stainless steel blades or rollers that shatter the ice on contact. The crushed ice falls through a chute into a waiting container, ready for cocktails, buffets or chilled displays. Because the blades never touch the container, the process stays clean and the ice stays dry, so it does not clump or melt prematurely.

Load the ice through the large batch opening at the top. The opening is sized to take standard catering ice blocks without pre-breaking. Switch the crusher on; the motor runs at a single speed, driving the blades continuously. Crushed ice collects in the dedicated GN 1/6 container beneath the chute. When the container is full, slide it out and replace it with an empty one without stopping the machine.

The cutting assembly is stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and wear from constant contact with ice and water. The housing is plastic, lightweight and easy to wipe down. A single switch controls power; there are no timers or variable speeds.

The 0.25 kW motor draws a modest load, suitable for a standard 230 V single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The 9 kg weight allows the unit to be carried by one person and placed on a worktop or shelf without reinforcement. The 175 mm width and 270 mm depth fit between other countertop appliances or under low shelves, while the 490 mm height clears most overhead cupboards.

After use, empty any remaining ice and wipe the blades and chute with a damp cloth. The plastic housing can be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent. The stainless steel blades require no oiling or sharpening; their geometry is designed to stay effective through repeated crushing cycles.

The crusher is supplied with a GN 1/6 container, 150 mm deep, for direct use in gastronorm-compatible service counters or salad bars.
