Naixer TH-500B Commercial Ice Cube Machine – 500 lb/Day Full Cube Clear Ice Maker
TH500B
A Commercial Ice Cube Machine That Arrives Ready to Work
TH500B-commercial-ice-maker
The Naixer TH-500B is a self-contained commercial ice cube machine made for restaurants, bars, hotels, and convenience stores that can’t afford to run out of ice. It produces up to 500 lbs (230 kg) of 22×22×22mm full cube ice every 24 hours and stores it all in a spacious built-in 400 lb insulated bin. No separate ice bin to buy, no extra installation steps — connect water and power, and you’re ready for service.
What’s the difference between a residential ice maker and a real commercial ice cube maker machine? Scale, durability, and consistency. Where a home unit struggles to fill a cooler, the TH-500B delivers clear, dense, slow-melting cubes round the clock. The 198 ice tray evaporator produces uniform ice batch after batch, and because it’s housed in an ISO9001-certified smart factory with 300+ patents, every component is engineered for years of hard use.
Full Cube Ice vs. Half Cube vs. Nugget: Why Ice Shape Matters
The ice type you choose directly affects how fast drinks dilute, how much ice you use per serving, and how your beverages look.
| Ice Type | Size & Shape | Melting Speed | Best Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Cube | ~22×22×22mm, solid, crystal-clear | Slowest — minimal dilution | Premium spirits, cocktails, bagged retail ice, banquet service |
| Half Cube | ~22×22×11mm, half thickness | Medium — cools quickly | Self-serve soda fountains, fast-casual drinks |
| Nugget | Irregular, porous, soft | Fast — drinks dilute rapidly | Chewable ice for healthcare, smoothies, frozen cocktails |
Built-In Bin: The Hidden Savings No One Talks About
Many 500 lb commercial ice machines come as modular heads. You still need to buy a compatible bin — typically an extra 2,000. The TH-500B eliminates that cost entirely. Its integrated 400 lb storage bin is part of the machine, so you unpack one unit, make one set of connections, and start making ice.

This design also saves floor space and eliminates the alignment and gasket leaks that sometimes come with modular setups. For a busy kitchen, that means less downtime and one less thing to troubleshoot.
How 198 Trays Deliver Crystal-Clear Full Cube Ice

Cloudy ice happens when air and minerals get trapped during a rushed freeze. The TH-500B’s 198-tray system and controlled freeze cycle push those impurities out, leaving hard, glass-clear cubes. Every batch uses fresh incoming water — never recirculated — so you don’t get the stale taste or scale buildup that plagues older machines. That’s what makes this a true clear ice cube machine, not just a commodity ice maker.
The air-cooled R404A system balances efficiency and reliability, running at 1,200 W with no additional water consumption for condenser cooling. In well-ventilated kitchens, it maintains rated output without the water waste of water-cooled units.
Built in a 30,000 m² Smart Factory, Trusted by Over 5,000 Clients
Every TH-500B comes out of Naixer’s own 30,000 m² ISO9001-certified factory — one of the largest commercial ice machine facilities worldwide. With 200+ technicians, 300+ active patents, and an annual output exceeding 200,000 units, we manufacture at a scale that ensures consistent quality and factory-direct pricing.
Before shipping, each machine goes through automated performance checks, helium leak detection on the refrigeration circuit, and batch burn-in testing. This is the same quality infrastructure trusted by KFC, Luckin Coffee, and commercial operators in over 100 countries. And it all backs a 3-year full machine warranty — strong coverage that directly lowers your total cost of ownership.
