Key Features

• Fast 5-minute ice production: Produces pure, soft snow ice in as little as five minutes from tap water. No pre-chilling required — ready for immediate use on the floor or behind the counter.
• Fully automatic microelectronic control: Built-in microelectronic control technology manages the entire cycle automatically — from startup and ice production to storage and shutdown. Simple one-button operation, near-silent running, and no manual intervention needed during operation.
• Compact, integrated design: Ice making and storage are combined into a single unit with a minimal footprint. The efficient layout allows installation in tight back-of-store spaces or open display areas without additional storage bins.
• High-performance insulation: The entire cabinet is foamed using a fluorine-free polyurethane process, achieving excellent thermal insulation. This keeps ice temperature stable for longer and reduces energy consumption during peak production hours.
• Reliable, low-maintenance system: HONGDA applies strict production processes and a carefully configured refrigeration system to deliver a low failure rate and long service life — critical for continuous commercial operations where downtime is costly.
• Food-grade stainless steel exterior: The full stainless steel shell is corrosion-resistant, easy to wipe clean, and built to withstand the humidity and daily wear of commercial food environments. The elegant appearance also suits front-of-store display use.
• 304 stainless steel evaporator: The evaporator — the core component in direct contact with ice — is manufactured from food-grade 304 stainless steel. This ensures the ice produced is hygienic, odor-free, and free from metal contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a snowflake ice maker used for?

A snowflake ice maker produces soft, flaky snow ice used primarily for supermarket fresh produce and seafood displays, food processing cooling, hotel buffets, and medical cold storage. The soft texture prevents damage to delicate products while maintaining effective cooling.

How long does it take to produce ice?

HONGDA’s BNS-series snowflake ice maker begins producing ice within approximately 5 minutes of startup using standard tap water. No pre-chilling or special water treatment is required under normal operating conditions.

What output capacity should I choose?

Choose based on your daily ice demand. Small convenience stores typically need 20–60 kg/day (BNS-20 to BNS-60). Supermarket produce sections usually require 85–150 kg/day. Large hypermarkets, food processing lines, or hotel operations may need 200–300 kg/day models.

Is the ice food-safe and hygienic?

Yes. The evaporator — the only component in direct contact with the ice — is manufactured from food-grade 304 stainless steel. The exterior shell is also full stainless steel, corrosion-resistant and easy to sanitize. All BNS models meet commercial food safety standards.

HONGDA offers flexible MOQ for wholesale buyers. Single-unit orders are accepted for evaluation, with preferential pricing starting from small batch orders. Please contact us directly for current MOQ thresholds and volume pricing.
