The Naixer BT-150 is a self-contained commercial undercounter ice machine engineered for busy cafes, bars, gastro-pubs, and small restaurants that need reliable, high-volume cube ice production without sacrificing valuable kitchen floor space. It produces up to 150 lbs (68 kg) of crystal-clear 22×22×22mm cube ice per day, with a generous 51 kg (112 lb) built-in storage bin that holds ready-to-use ice through the busiest shifts. Each cycle delivers 72 ice cubes in 8–10 minutes, ensuring your bar or service well never runs dry during peak demand.
In the foodservice industry, ice is a daily operational necessity. From restaurants and bars to hotels, cafés, and catering kitchens, a reliable commercial ice machine directly affects beverage quality, service speed, and customer satisfaction. Undercounter ice machines provide compact, efficient ice production for space-constrained commercial operations.
The BT-150 is designed for bars, cafés, and small kitchens that need more ice than a compact unit can provide, but don‘t have the floor space or volume demands for a large modular system. Undercounter units typically produce 50–350 lbs/day with built-in storage, offering a compact, all-in-one solution with easy installation.
BT-150 Product Specification
Key Features:
150 lb (68 kg) Daily Production: Enough for approximately 450–670+ iced beverages per day—ideal for a busy café, gastro-pub, or restaurant bar serving 150–300 customers daily. Each cycle produces 72 ice cubes in 8–10 minutes, ensuring rapid recovery during peak hours.
Crystal-Clear 22×22×22mm Cube Ice: Standard full cube ice that melts slowly and looks clean in any glass. Square ice cubes are widely preferred in commercial environments for their uniform shape, attractive presentation, slow melting rate, and efficient storage with minimal wasted space.
Dual Water Inlet for Flexible Setup: Two water supply options—connection to a faucet or use with bottled water—with a full accessory set included for inlet and drain hose connection to support auto fill, auto drain, and ice cycle start. Keep the ice maker upright for 24 hours before first use.
Compact Undercounter Design: Measures 680 × 600 × 750 mm (approx. 26.8 × 23.6 × 29.5 inches), fitting under most standard commercial counters. Specifically designed for locations where space, efficiency, and simplicity matter.
Self-Cleaning Cycle: Built-in automatic cleaning function handles descaling and sanitizing with a single button press—no disassembly, no specialized training, no service call required. A clean machine produces better-tasting, crystal-clear ice while protecting your customers’ health and extending your equipment‘s life.
R290 Refrigerant: Environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant with excellent energy efficiency and low global warming potential. The EPA’s Technology Transition Rule went into effect on January 1, 2026—self-contained air- and water-cooled ice machines that produce 1,000 lbs of ice or less must use R290 refrigerant. The BT-150 is fully compliant and future-ready.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Robust stainless steel exteriors and food-grade internal components provide durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. Even when the machine is powered off, integrated cyclopentane foam insulation combined with the stainless-steel exterior can keep ice frozen for 6–8 hours.
The BT-150 is purpose-built for environments where ice demand is high but floor space is limited. Its compact, self-contained design fits under standard counters in bars, busy restaurant kitchens, and high-volume cafes.
Busy Cafes & Coffee Shops: Iced lattes, americanos, and cold brew demand consistent, clear cube ice. The BT-150‘s 150 lb daily output handles a busy morning rush and afternoon crowd without breaking a sweat.
Gastro-Pubs & Restaurant Bars: Keep ice directly under the bartender’s station. Cube ice is the workhorse of the cocktail well—scoop cleanly, chill effectively, and present beautifully. 51 kg storage bin holds enough ice through the busiest dinner service.
Small Restaurants & Bistros: Handle dinner service with reliable, on-demand ice without sacrificing valuable kitchen floor space. Dual water inlet flexibility supports both plumbed and bottled water setups.
Hotel Lobby Bars & Breakfast Stations: Compact footprint fits in executive lounges and suite pantries where space is limited but premium ice presentation is expected.
When selecting a commercial undercounter ice machine, always choose a model with slightly higher capacity than your estimated daily requirement to avoid shortages during peak times. For larger operations requiring more than 200 lbs of ice per day, consider Naixer‘s TH-320C or TH-500C modular systems.
