The Saicool electric ice crusher features a 300W induction motor and a dual-blade assembly made of 420J2 stainless steel. This configuration is designed for high hardness, allowing it to process standard ice cubes at a rate of approximately 143 lbs per hour. The main structural housing is made of die-cast aluminum alloy with a polished finish, which helps with heat dissipation during operation. Its heavy base is designed to add stability and dampen the vibration from the 2000 RPM motor.
Specifications show that the unit is best used in 20-minute duty cycles to manage motor heat effectively. Features include a micro-limit safety switch that prevents blade engagement unless the handle is fully depressed. To keep the unit in top condition, it is recommended to dry the aluminum hopper immediately after use to prevent oxidation and to wipe down the crevices near the blade plate where water might collect.
This machine produces a texture that is ideal for chilled drinks and cocktails. Users should be aware that the high-power motor generates a noise level around 85 decibels, which is typical for appliances in this performance class. For consistent results, using slightly softened ice rather than ice fresh from a deep freezer can help preserve the sharpness of the blades and reduce resonance during the crushing process.
For a model that includes a built-in storage bin to hold the ice after it is shaved, the Reemix Shaved Ice Machine is an excellent alternative for party planning.
