It’s an elevated standard that your venue and your customers truly deserve.”
Overview and Features
BT‑GD140 Cylinder Ice Maker – 140 lb/day Commercial Cylindrical Cube Machine (Air‑cooled)
Overview: The Foundation of a Superior Drink
The Naixer BT‑GD140 is a self‑contained commercial cylinder ice maker engineered for bars, restaurants, cafes, and premium beverage venues where ice presentation, slow melt rate, and cooling efficiency directly impact drink quality and customer experience. It produces up to 140 lbs (63 kg) of crystal‑clear, slow‑melting cylindrical ice cubes per day—each hollow cylinder measuring 30 × 30 × 25 mm—with a generous 40 kg (88 lbs) built‑in storage bin that holds ready‑to‑use ice directly where it’s needed—under the bar or counter.
Among the various ice types available today, cylindrical ice has gained increasing popularity for its durability, clarity, and slow‑melting characteristics. Cylindrical ice is far more than a simple beverage accessory—it plays a critical role in food preservation, drink presentation, medical storage, seafood processing, and commercial cooling.
The BT‑GD140 uses an integrated mechanism design—the ice maker and storage bin are built into a single compact unit. At 660 × 745 × 1005 mm, it fits under most standard counters while offering the simplicity of a plug‑and‑play installation. Unlike modular systems that require separate bins and complex plumbing, the BT‑GD140 connects to a water line, drains by gravity, and starts producing ice. The larger 40 kg bin capacity compared to its BT‑GD90 sibling means more ice on standby during peak service periods—fewer refill interruptions, smoother bar flow.
Key Features
140 lb (63 kg) Daily Production. Enough for approximately 280–420 beverages per day—ideal for small to mid‑sized bars, cafes, and restaurants. This output comfortably serves a venue with 80–150 seats during peak service without running short. The production capacity matches the sweet spot for establishments that need more ice than a compact countertop unit can produce but don’t require a full modular system.
Crystal‑Clear Cylindrical Ice Cubes (30 × 30 × 25mm). Each cylinder is formed with a hollow center, which accelerates liquid cooling by allowing beverages to flow through the ice. The solid outer wall melts more slowly than traditional cubes, keeping drinks cold longer without excessive dilution. Cylindrical ice features a smooth outer surface while maintaining structural strength—this design delivers a balance between cooling efficiency and melting resistance. Its compact structure and smaller surface area compared to crushed or flake ice ensures long‑lasting cooling without watering down drinks.
40 kg (88 lbs) Built‑In Storage Bin. The integrated insulated bin holds substantially more ice than comparable models in this class. This larger buffer means fewer refill interruptions during peak hours and a safety margin against unexpected demand surges. No separate bin purchase required—the ice maker and storage are combined in a single undercounter‑compatible unit.
Compact Integrated Mechanism Design. Measuring 660 × 745 × 1005 mm, the BT‑GD140 combines the ice maker and storage bin into a single self‑contained appliance. This integrated approach eliminates the complexity of modular systems—no separate ice head, no bin pairing decisions, no additional installation costs. The compact footprint fits under standard counters in bars, cafes, and small kitchens where floor space is limited.
R290 Refrigerant with Imported Compressor. Uses environmentally friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with ultra‑low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, paired with an imported Skipou compressor for reliable, energy‑efficient operation. As of January 1, 2026, self‑contained air‑cooled ice machines that produce 1,000 lbs of ice or less must use R290 refrigerant under the EPA’s Technology Transition Rule—the BT‑GD140 is fully compliant and future‑ready.
Air‑cooled Efficiency. Optimized airflow design maintains consistent ice production without the additional water consumption of water‑cooled systems. Air‑cooled machines are easier to install and more cost‑efficient, making them the practical choice for most bar and cafe environments where adequate ventilation is available.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction. Food‑grade 304 stainless steel exterior resists corrosion, cleans easily, and maintains a professional appearance in customer‑facing bar and cafe environments.
