Ice Makers

Commercial Ice Maker Machines — CP Series by Aristarco | Kings Catering

Every professional kitchen, bar, and hospitality operation shares a common requirement: a consistent, reliable supply of high-quality ice. Whether you are running a busy Irish pub, a hotel restaurant, a catering business, or a high-volume café, the quality and quantity of ice your operation produces directly affects the standard of service you deliver.

At Kings Catering, we build our commercial ice machines to meet that demand without compromise. The CP Series by Aristarco — 100% manufactured in Italy for over 75 years — represents the professional standard in ice maker machines for the Irish commercial market. We hold every model in the range in stock at our County Meath warehouse, ready for next-day delivery nationwide.

In a commercial setting, ice quality is not a minor detail. The CP Series produces solid, crystal-clear cubes that cool drinks efficiently and retain their form throughout service. Unlike hollow or flake ice, solid cube ice melts more slowly, keeping drinks cold longer without diluting them. Cocktail bars, hotel lounges and restaurants that care about presentation as well as taste will observe the difference.

Why Ice Quality Is Non-Negotiable in a Commercial Setting

In a commercial setting, ice quality is not a minor detail. The difference between a well-produced ice cube and a poor-quality one is visible to staff, noticeable to customers, and consequential to the standard of service your operation delivers.

The CP Series produces solid, crystal-clear full cubes that cool drinks efficiently and retain their form throughout service. Unlike hollow or flake alternatives, solid cube ice melts at a slower rate — keeping drinks colder for longer without dilution. For cocktail bars, hotel lounges, and restaurants where presentation and taste are held to the same standard, that distinction is one your customers will notice.

The operational case is equally compelling. A machine that produces soft, fast-melting ice places additional pressure on service staff — requiring more frequent replenishment of glasses and ice bins, increasing labour demands, and adding avoidable cost to an already busy service period. The right commercial ice machine removes that pressure entirely.

The CP Series — A Complete Range for Every Production Requirement

The Aristarco CP Series is a commercial ice maker machine range designed to cover every level of production requirement. Compact units serve smaller operations with moderate output needs, while high-capacity backstage machines meet the demands of large-scale hospitality environments.

Every model in the series is constructed from stainless steel — chosen for its durability, hygiene compliance, and resistance to the demanding conditions of a professional kitchen. Each unit is engineered for efficiency, delivering consistent output across a full 24-hour cycle without compromise.

The range starts with the CP 25.6, which produces 25kg of ice in 24 hours – ideal for small cafés, delis or catering operations with moderate requirements. From there, it scales steadily through mid-range models, including the CP 50.25 (50 kg/24 hr) and CP 80.40 (80 kg/24 hr), up to the flagship CP 300 Backstage, capable of producing 300 kg of crystal-clear ice every 24 hours — the benchmark for large hotels, event venues, and high-volume bars.

The capacity of the storage bin increases with the production output over the range so that ice is always available when demand is high.

The Commercial Sectors the CP Series Is Specified For

The Aristarco CP Series ice-making machine range is specified for commercial use across a wide range of sectors. The most common applications in the Irish market include:

Pubs and bars — where consistent ice supply is essential throughout service, and presentation quality reflects directly on the customer experience.

Restaurants and hotel dining — where solid cube ice is required for both drink service and food presentation, with hygiene and reliability as non-negotiable requirements.

Hotels and leisure facilities — where high-volume models such as the CP 135.75 or CP 300 Backstage handle demand across multiple outlets simultaneously.

Catering and events businesses — where portable, reliable cube ice makers need to perform consistently in varied environments and often at short notice.

Healthcare and hospitality facilities — where hygienic, certified commercial ice production is a compliance requirement as much as an operational one.

All Models in Stock — Next Day Delivery Across Ireland

All 12 models in the Aristarco CP Series are held in stock at our warehouse in County Meath, Ireland. This is not a drop-shipping arrangement — every unit is physically on site, quality-checked, and ready for dispatch. For businesses that cannot afford to wait on extended lead times, that availability is a practical advantage that sets Kings Catering apart from suppliers dependent on overseas fulfilment.

Next-day delivery is available across Ireland, and business equipment finance options are also available for operations looking to spread the cost of a larger investment across their commercial ice equipment.

Invest in the Right Ice Maker Machine for Your Business

Choosing the correct commercial ice machine for your operation comes down to three factors: daily output requirement, available footprint, and storage capacity. The CP Series addresses all three across a carefully structured range, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.
