Jiangsu Bingluo Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. is a commercial Ice Maker manufacturer based in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. Since 2006 we have built refrigeration equipment around one practical question: how much ice of the right shape has to be available at the busiest hour of the day. Our ice maker range covers cube, crescent, flake, snowflake and shaved ice formats, sized from under-counter units for cafés and bars to high-output modular machines for hotels, supermarkets and food-processing lines.
The range is engineered for continuous commercial duty in hotels, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries, dessert shops, milk tea chains, hospitals, cruise vessels and retail fresh counters. We supply the machine, the matching storage bin, the water and drainage interfaces and the commissioning guidance needed to put it into service.
A Full Range of Ice Types From One Manufacturing Base
Ice shape decides how a drink tastes, how quickly a display chills and how much ice a serving actually uses. We manufacture each format on dedicated tooling rather than adapting a single evaporator design, so the cube geometry, freezing cycle and harvest action match the application.

Models Built Around Real Installation Conditions
Our ice maker family is organised by footprint and output so a machine can be matched to the counter, back bar or service corridor it will live in. Under-counter units share a common worktop height with our commercial refrigerators, which lets a beverage station read as one continuous line.
- Under-counter worktop models — the Blue Light Table Commercial Under Counter Ice Maker combines ice production with a stainless work surface, with capacities from roughly 36 kg to 454 kg per 24 hours and storage bins from 20 kg to 240 kg.
- Modular cube machines — the Square Cube Ice Machines series scales from 36 kg to 2,000 kg per 24 hours, with air-cooled and water-cooled condenser options and single-phase or three-phase supply on the larger frames.
- Water-recirculating machines — the Water Recycling System Ice Maker uses a closed-loop cooling circuit and a vertical double-sided flowing-water evaporator, suited to sites where water is metered or discharge is restricted.
- Specialty formats — crescent, flake, snowflake, snow ice and shaved ice machines cover dessert, display and food-preservation duties that cube ice cannot serve well.
Engineering Detail That Affects Daily Output
Evaporator and harvest cycle
Cube machines use a flowing-water evaporator with a copper-nickel plated surface to resist corrosion and scale build-up. Ice thickness is adjustable through the microcomputer control, which changes the freeze time per cycle and therefore the balance between cube hardness and total daily output.
Condenser choice
Air-cooled units need only power, water inlet and drain, but reject heat into the room and require clear ventilation space. Water-cooled and recirculating versions hold output more steadily in hot, enclosed kitchens and run quieter; the recirculating design avoids the continuous cooling-water discharge of a conventional water-cooled machine.
Hygiene and cleaning
Food-grade engineering plastics are used in the ice-making zone, and each machine carries an automatic cleaning cycle that runs with an approved cleaner. Blue-light sterilisation is available on selected cube models. Removable panels give access to the water tray, distributor and bin for routine sanitising.
Insulation and cabinet construction
Bins and cabinets are foamed under high pressure without separate insulation tubes, which improves thermal retention and reduces melt-back during quiet hours. Stainless steel and ABS external surfaces are specified for wipe-down cleaning in food-service environments.
Matching Capacity to Peak Demand
Rated output is measured under standard conditions, typically around 21°C ambient air and 15°C inlet water. In a 32°C kitchen with warm mains water, usable output falls, so we size against the worst-case season rather than the catalogue figure alone.
- Hotel: 2–3 kg per occupied room per day, plus banquet allowance.
- Restaurant: 0.5–1 kg per seat per day, higher for cold-drink menus.
- Bar or milk tea shop: 1.5–2.5 kg per seat per day.
- Hospital: 4–5 kg per bed per day, often in flake form.
Storage is a separate decision. A bin holding 40–50% of daily demand lets the machine cover a two-hour rush without running continuously. We size the bin and the production head together so the pair matches the service pattern.
Utilities, Water Quality and Site Preparation
Every installation needs a potable water supply, a gravity drain and a dedicated power circuit. Incoming pressure should sit in the 0.1–0.6 MPa band; below that, a booster pump is required. Filtration protects both the ice and the evaporator: a 5-micron sediment cartridge, an activated-carbon stage for chlorine and taste, and a softener or scale inhibitor where hardness exceeds roughly 150 ppm.
Site data we confirm before shipment: ambient temperature range, water pressure and hardness, drain route, ventilation clearance, voltage and phase, and the finished floor height at the install position.
Quality Control and Manufacturing
Production runs in a 12,500 m² factory in the Dianshan Lake Development Zone, established in 2016 and operated under an Industry 3.0 management system across seven production lines. Refrigeration components are sourced from international brands, and finished machines are run through extended test cycles before packing to confirm freezing performance, harvest reliability and low failure rates.
Our laboratory and test equipment support incoming material checks, performance verification and endurance running. Documentation supplied with each order covers the model configuration, electrical data, refrigerant charge and operating instructions; project-specific acceptance criteria are agreed at the quotation stage.
Customisation and Complete Beverage Stations
Because ice rarely stands alone, we build the surrounding equipment to the same dimensions and finish. A milk tea or coffee project can be supplied as a coordinated package: ice maker, Commercial Refrigerator, Refrigerated Display Cases and Bar Equipment including stainless water bars and coffee bars.
- Cabinet dimensions and worktop height adjusted to the counter layout.
- Ice thickness range set for the intended drink or display use.
- Air-cooled or water-cooled condenser selected for the room conditions.
- Voltage and frequency configured for the destination market.
- Sample-based development where a project needs a non-standard format.
Service, Spare Parts and Operator Training
Support begins with pre-sales layout and capacity planning, continues through online installation and commissioning guidance, and extends to 24/7 remote or on-site technical assistance. Original spare parts are held for fast replacement, and preventive maintenance visits can be scheduled around the operator's season. Warranty terms are offered in three-year, five-year or longer options depending on the project.
Operators receive instruction on the cleaning cycle, filter replacement, condenser cleaning and the first-batch discard procedure after sanitising. A simple schedule — weekly sanitising of the bin and scoop, monthly condenser cleaning, descaling every three to six months and filter changes every six months — keeps output and ice quality stable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ice maker capacities does Bingluo manufacture?
Cube machines run from 36 kg to 2,000 kg per 24 hours, with storage bins from 18 kg to 600 kg. Under-counter worktop models span 36–454 kg per 24 hours. Flake, snowflake and shaved ice machines are sized for dessert and display duties. We match the head and bin to your peak-day demand rather than to the headline rating alone.
Can the machine be built for our voltage and frequency?
Yes. Models are configured for 220 V single-phase or 380 V three-phase supply at 50 Hz or 60 Hz as required, and the electrical data is stated on the order documentation. Refrigerant type is confirmed per model and destination market.
How is the ice maker cleaned and maintained?
Each machine has an automatic cleaning cycle that runs with an approved cleaner such as lemon powder. Routine care covers weekly sanitising of the bin and scoop, monthly condenser and filter cleaning, descaling every three to six months and water-filter replacement every six months. The first batch after cleaning is discarded.
What is the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled models?
Air-cooled units are simpler to install and need clear ventilation space; their output drops in hot rooms. Water-cooled and recirculating units hold output more steadily and run quieter, and the recirculating design avoids continuous cooling-water discharge. The choice follows the room conditions and the site's water constraints.
Do you supply complete milk tea shop or bar equipment?
We supply ice makers alongside commercial refrigerators, display cases, stainless water bars, coffee bars, hot water dispensers and milk frothers, coordinated to the same dimensions and finish. This lets a beverage project be delivered as one equipment package rather than assembled from unrelated suppliers.
What information is needed to prepare a quotation?
Send the daily and peak-hour ice demand, required ice shape, counter or alcove dimensions, ambient conditions, water pressure and hardness, drain route, voltage and phase, quantity and target delivery date. With those inputs we return a model recommendation, bin size, filtration scope and a configuration drawing for confirmation.
