Producing up to 20kg of bullet-shaped ice every 24 hours, it's equally at home in busy bars, hotels, restaurants and healthcare or hospitality settings where ice quality and cleanliness matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UA037 features two separate UVC functions: one that sterilises incoming water before it enters the machine, and one that continuously treats the ice storage bin to inhibit the growth of bacteria and mould. The solid front door provides an additional layer of protection — keeping ice sealed from external contamination while also ensuring no UVC light exposure outside the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4kg storage bin keeps a ready supply of ice throughout service, and the machine connects directly to a mains water supply for continuous, hands-off operation. An intuitive digital display with indicator lights makes it simple to operate, and the automatic self-clean function keeps the unit performing at its best with minimal maintenance effort. Powerful compressor cooling with automatic defrosting keeps everything running efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This model uses gravity drainage — no drain pump is supplied.
