The Paragon Arctic Blast is a professional-grade machine designed for high-volume concession use. It features a powerful 1/3 HP motor (792W) that provides significant starting torque to handle sustained ice loads. The unit is built with a heavy-duty stainless steel or aluminized steel base and high-impact polycarbonate windows, which are designed to resist yellowing and impact over time.
The "Ice-Shield" geometry is a specific engineering feature designed to prevent moisture from entering the motor housing during long shifts. For safety, an interlock switch on the pusher handle prevents the blades from engaging while the hopper is open. Specifications indicate the machine can sustain an output of 500 pounds per hour, making it a benchmark for reliability in professional environments.
Serviceability is a key advantage of this model, as parts like blades and brushes are standard in the concession industry. The machine includes a fine-to-coarse adjustment knob to control ice texture. To manage the 85dB operational volume and drainage, it is helpful to use the unit in well-ventilated areas with a properly routed drain tube.
If you are looking for a commercial-grade machine with a modern matte finish for home use, the Hawaiian Shaved Ice S777 offers precision control in a smaller package.
