VEMA TR2011 Ice Crusher for Professional Kitchens

An ice crusher transforms solid ice into fine, usable particles without melting it. The VEMA TR2011 uses a motor-driven blade or crushing mechanism inside a hopper. When ice is fed in, the blades rotate at high speed, breaking it into small fragments. This method preserves the ice's temperature while producing the texture needed for chilled drinks, buffet displays and garnishes. The process is mechanical, not thermal, so the ice stays cold and dry, ready for immediate use. To operate the TR2011, the operator plugs the unit into a standard 230 V single-phase supply. Ice blocks or cubes are placed into the hopper, and the crusher is switched on. The motor powers the blades, which crush the ice continuously until the hopper is empty or the machine is turned off. The crushed ice collects in a container beneath the outlet, where it can be scooped or poured directly into glasses or serving dishes. The TR2011 is built as a compact worktop unit. Its housing is formed from durable materials to withstand the force of crushing ice repeatedly. The dimensions of 200 mm depth, 470 mm width and 450 mm height allow it to fit on most worktops without crowding other equipment. A weight of 10 kg makes it stable during operation but light enough to move when needed. Controls are simple: a single on-off switch starts and stops the motor. The 230 V, 50/60 Hz voltage requirement matches the standard power supply in professional kitchens, so no special wiring is needed. The power rating of 0.4 kW reflects a modest electrical load, suitable for continuous use without overloading circuits. The seamless stainless-steel hopper and chute shed ice shards and meltwater straight into the waste tray beneath the motor block. After use, the hopper and blades are rinsed to remove ice residue. The housing is wiped down to keep the unit hygienic and free from moisture that could cause corrosion. The motor housing stays bolted to the base while the hopper lifts off with a quarter-turn, exposing every surface that touches ice for a single wipe-down. The TR2011 is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under ice preparation equipment in professional catering catalogues.
