For over 60 years, Holiday Ice Inc. has been a trusted leader in specialized ice production equipment for industrial applications. Known for quality craftsmanship and exceptional service, Holiday Ice sets the standard with the ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500SM-B — a machine built for maximum output, efficiency, and reliability.
High-Capacity Ice Production
The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500SM-B produces an impressive 10,000 lbs. of hard cracked ice in 24 hours. This capacity meets the demands of industries such as seafood processing, produce cooling, poultry production, concrete cooling, and chemical manufacturing. Despite its five-ton daily output, the unit’s compact footprint allows efficient use of floor space.
Engineered for Performance
This industrial ice machine is designed with premium components and thoughtful engineering:
- Highly efficient Copeland compressor for consistent performance.
- Double-walled vertical tube evaporators for maximum ice yield.
- Hot Gas Defrost for rapid harvest and quick recovery.
- No moving parts in the freezing zone, reducing maintenance needs.
- Harvest Hold (PHC) for precise defrost control in varying temperatures.
- All stainless steel welded construction for long-term durability.
- USDA approved and suitable for outdoor use.
Built to Last
Each 1500SM-B is factory-assembled, fully charged, and tested, reducing installation time and ensuring readiness upon arrival. The low-temperature Copeland compressor works with a Larkin RCU featuring “floating coils” for long life. Eight in-line evaporators in an enlarged stainless housing make inspections and cleaning simple, while redesigned water distributors allow for quick adjustments.
Efficient Ice Delivery
The integrated screw conveyor system feeds ice to a vertical delivery chute, providing smooth, continuous transfer to storage or processing areas. This automation minimizes labor, keeps operations efficient, and ensures a steady ice supply without interruptions.
Cold Weather Ready
For facilities in colder climates, the Model 1500SM-B offers optional low-ambient controls. This allows reliable operation in low temperatures, expanding its versatility across regions and industries.
The Arctic-Temp® Ice Making Process
The Arctic-Temp® Ice Maker design uses vertically suspended, double-walled cylindrical evaporators that utilize 100% of their surface. This maximizes heat exchange efficiency, producing hard, cold cracked ice quickly while minimizing wear thanks to a freezing zone free of moving parts.
Why Holiday Ice Inc. Stands Out
Holiday Ice Inc. builds machines with top-quality components, such as the industry-renowned Copeland compressor, and supports customers with unmatched service. Their focus on reliability, efficiency, and long-term value ensures that each machine is a worthwhile investment for high-demand operations.
Investing in Reliable Ice Production
The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500SM-B is more than an industrial ice machine — it’s a dependable solution for businesses that rely on continuous, high-volume ice production. With its rugged stainless steel build, efficient operation, and proven performance record, it’s built to keep operations running day after day, year after year. Backed by over six decades of experience, Holiday Ice Inc. delivers equipment you can count on.
