Similarly clever safety mechanisms can be found in the [Brema ice crusher 425], which is also used in a professional environment.
Powerful features and design
The machine presented here crushes up to 6 kg of ice cubes in just one minute, achieving a maximum daily capacity of around 144 kg. This makes it ideal for bars, cafés, hotel kitchens, bakeries and many other areas where large quantities of ice are required. A simple and mechanical adjustment option determines the desired degree of crushing, which is why granules of different coarseness can be produced. This is practical for cocktails, smoothies or cooling sensitive foods that need to be cooled gently and quickly, for example.
The entire structure is made of durable 18/10 stainless steel. This material is insensitive to moisture, rust-proof and easy to clean in terms of hygiene requirements. The appliance is also equipped with microswitches on both the lid and the door. This deactivates the ice crusher immediately in the event of incorrect operation or accidental opening and ensures additional safety during operation. A removable GN 1/3 tray ensures that the ice granules produced are collected immediately. Furthermore, the integrated drip tray can be easily removed and cleaned, allowing for a speedy and hygienic working environment.
