Hospitality Connect carries 21 commercial ice crushers and ice shavers for bars, cocktail venues, cafes, juice bars and snow cone stands. The range is mainly electric benchtop machines in stainless steel, with SOGA, Sammic and Yasaki among the brands stocked.
The choice comes down to the texture you need. An ice crusher breaks cubes into irregular chips for cocktails, seafood displays and blended drinks. An ice shaver takes a fine layer off a block or cube to make soft, snow like ice for snow cones and shaved ice desserts. Output per hour is the second thing to check, because a machine sized for occasional cocktail service will not keep up with a dessert kiosk on a hot weekend. Bench footprint matters too, since these units sit permanently on a working counter. Trade pricing applies, delivered Australia-wide.
