Self‑Service Ice Vending Machine for 24‑7 Unattended Retail

Self‑Service Ice Vending Machine for 24‑7 Unattended Retail

This is new IVM‑002 ice vending machine, a compact self‑service unit built to deliver fresh ice round‑the‑clock for global unmanned retail markets. Designed for gas stations, convenience stores, campgrounds and other high‑demand locations, this model supports fully unattended operation to bring convenient ice access to consumers any time of day or night.

The IVM‑002 delivers up to 160 kg of ice within a 24‑hour cycle under standard ambient conditions. It produces standard 22 mm×22 mm×22 mm cube‑shaped ice, with the possibility to upgrade for larger‑size cubes upon request. Adopting circulating‑spray ice‑making technology paired with fan‑cooling refrigeration, the machine uses R404a refrigerant and a 1.5P compressor for stable continuous performance. Its insulated ice tank offers 60‑litre storage capacity to hold finished ice ready for dispensing. Water comes from municipal water supply, and optional RO water treatment modules can be integrated to improve incoming water quality.

A standout strength lies in flexible multi‑form ice output. Operators can configure the machine to provide bagged ice, bulk ice and cup ice to satisfy diverse user needs. Multiple bag‑handling options are available, including manual bag pick‑up as well as automatic bag dropping, ice filling and sealing for different bag weight specifications. The machine supports a comprehensive selection of payment channels: IC cards, banknotes, coins, credit cards, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay and Paypal, adapting to payment habits across different countries and regions. The voltage can also be adjusted between AC 110 V and 220 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz to fit local power grids worldwide.

Further optional upgrades extend the machine’s capability. Users may add a 19‑inch advertising display screen for promotional content, auto‑bag storage‑and‑discharge assemblies, bill validators, coin change modules and credit‑card payment kits. Custom‑branded exterior wraps allow operators to match the kiosk to their brand identity.

Combining robust refrigeration hardware, versatile dispensing modes and broad‑compatibility payment systems, the IVM‑002 offers a practical all‑in‑one solution for entrepreneurs looking to launch low‑labour ice‑vending businesses across international markets.
