The figures shown are the nominal daily production values in the ICES catalog. Ask for the selected model’s rating conditions and configuration details when preparing your order.
Get to Know Crescent Ice
Crescent ice has a solid half-cylinder form, with a curved upper surface and a flat base. Its appearance differs from cube-shaped ice, solid cylindrical ice, and the smaller pieces associated with nugget ice.
When comparing equipment, use a representative ice image or sample information to confirm that the product matches the shape you expect. Then review the available models and the installation requirements for your site.
Confirm the Shape
Make sure the half-cylinder form is the ice you want to serve. A product name alone is not a substitute for checking the actual ice appearance.
Consider Your Serving Needs
Think about the drinks, containers and serving tasks involved in your operation. The ICES catalog lists cafés, restaurants and other uses for this series. Discuss your specific application when selecting a model.
Compare the Equipment
Once the ice type is clear, review daily production, storage arrangements, operating conditions and the technical information for the selected machine.
Choose Your Production Range
Three models are listed in the ICES crescent series. Use the catalog-rated daily output below to begin your comparison, then request the technical information needed for your project.
Confirm the selected model’s appearance and configuration with ICES.
| Model | Catalog-Rated Daily Output | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| ICES-260 | 120 kg/24h | Get Specifications |
| ICES-700 | 320 kg/24h | Get Specifications |
| ICES-1000 | 450 kg/24h | Get Specifications |
The model code is an identifier, not a statement of production capacity. The ICES-1000 crescent model is listed at 450 kg/24h. Request model-specific dimensions, electrical requirements, storage details and installation information before placing an order.

Explore the ICES factory video and discuss the equipment you are considering. For a closer look at a specific crescent model, include its name in your inquiry.
Ask About This EquipmentCompare Crescent and Cube in the Same Serving Task
Crescent and cube are distinct shapes, not quality grades. A fair sample comparison keeps the drink recipe, glass and evaluation time consistent.
| Check | What the result tells you |
|---|---|
| Weigh equal ice portions in the intended glass. | Shows how shape affects the visible fill and space for the recipe. |
| Use the same scoop and service process. | Identifies portion consistency and handling questions for the team. |
| Record storage and the busiest service window. | Separates ice-format approval from production and bin selection. |
Do not infer slower melting, lower consumption or a better drink from shape alone. Such claims need a defined comparison. The ICES crescent range remains 120–450 kg/24h.
Consider Your Application
The right conversation starts with how you plan to use the ice. Describe the service pattern and site requirements alongside your preferred production range.
Restaurants and Beverage Service
Explain which areas will use the ice and whether demand is concentrated around meal or service peaks. Include the available space and your preferred ice presentation so the model comparison reflects the operation.
Discuss Requirements
Distributor and OEM Projects
Share your destination market, expected quantities and the models you want to include in your range. Ask about the relevant specifications, supporting documents and the branding scope available for the proposed order.

Plan the Installation Before You Order
Use the model overview to identify a starting point. Before finalizing the equipment, compare the proposed specifications with your demand and the actual installation site.
- 1
Daily Demand and Storage
Describe the amount of ice you normally use, the busiest service window and whether demand is spread across several areas.
Selection notes
Ask for the storage capacity and arrangement associated with the proposed model. Daily production and bin capacity describe different aspects of the equipment, so keep both in the comparison.
- 2
Ambient and Inlet-Water Conditions
Share the conditions expected at the installation location.
Selection notes
Request the conditions associated with the quoted production figure and discuss how the proposed machine should be evaluated for your site. A catalog range is a starting point for selecting a model, not a complete site specification.
- 3
Space, Ventilation and Drainage
Record the available footprint and height, delivery access and the location of the water connection and drain.
Selection notes
Compare these with the selected model’s drawing and installation instructions. Confirm the clearances and service access required for the actual configuration before preparing the location.
- 4
Power Supply and Maintenance Access
Provide the site’s voltage, frequency and electrical-supply information so the available configuration can be confirmed.
Selection notes
Request the applicable cleaning and maintenance instructions and consider how staff or service personnel will reach the areas identified in those instructions.
Crescent, Cube or Nugget
Compare the form of the ice before you choose a series. These are distinct product types, and each should be checked against the intended serving task and the specifications of the equipment available.

Crescent Ice Machine FAQs
Which production range should I choose?
The catalog lists ICES-260 at 120 kg/24h, ICES-700 at 320 kg/24h and ICES-1000 at 450 kg/24h. Share your normal and peak ice demand, operating hours and storage needs so these models can be discussed in the context of your site.
Does the ICES-1000 crescent model produce 1000 kg per day?
No. ICES-1000 is the model identifier. The crescent model is listed in the ICES catalog at 450 kg/24h. Use the series-specific production figure when comparing equipment, since a similar model code may appear in another ice-type range.
Does daily output equal storage capacity?
No. The daily figure concerns production over a stated period, while storage capacity describes how much ice the bin can hold. Request the storage information for the proposed model and consider it alongside your service pattern.
What installation information should I provide?
Start with the destination country, available space, water and drain locations, power supply and the conditions at the installation site. You can also describe the existing setup if you are replacing equipment. ICES can then discuss which model-specific details need to be checked.
Can I request complete specifications without knowing the model?
Yes. Select “Help Me Choose” and explain your application and expected demand. You can ask for the dimensions, electrical requirements, storage information and other details needed to compare the available models.
Can I discuss branding or a distributor order?
Yes. Include your market, preferred models, expected order quantity and branding requirements. Available options, supporting documentation and commercial terms should be confirmed for the equipment and order concerned.
