The Benefits of Commercial Shaved Ice Machines

Realhawaiian Ice

When you’re starting a commercial shaved ice business, planning a fundraiser, or just like to throw big block parties, you need a lot of shaved ice. So while it might be tempting to purchase a smaller machine because of the lower price tag, that won’t give you the power you need for a large crowd. You need to purchase a commercial shaved ice machine, especially if you want to make Hawaiian shaved ice. Shaved ice only comes from sharp blades to make your ice nice and thin, and only a commercial shaved ice machine can give you that texture.

So keep reading for all the reasons why you need a commercial shaved ice machine.

Commercial Shaved Ice Machines Are More Efficient
If you want to offer Hawaiian shaved ice for a large event, you don’t want to purchase something that will break easily or take too long to make the dessert. Commercial shaved iced machines provide maximum efficiency, even for the lower-priced options.

Here are a few Hawaiian shaved ice machines we sell and how fast they can produce shaved ice.

Hatsuyuki HA-110S Manual Block Ice Shaver
This entry-level commercial shaved ice machine costs only $845 and can be paid for in installments as low as $24/month. This hand-crank machine still churns out tons of shaved ice at a speed of 1.6 lbs. per minute. Plus, this machine has an old-timey look that’s a fun addition to any fundraiser or restaurant.

Hatsuyuki HC-8E Cube Ice Shaver
When you need to be able to pump shaved ice out fast, then the Hatsukuki HC-8E Cube Ice Shaver can meet your needs, with a speed of a staggering 6.0 lbs. per minute. This shaver is automatic, so you don’t have to spend time churning the ice. And the machine stops as soon as you open the lid, so you can feel safe using this machine if children are around.

Hatsuyuki HF-50 DC Block Ice Shaver
One of the higher-priced commercial shaved ice machines, the cost is well worth it if you are a high-volume location. This machine runs at a speed of 4.6 lbs. per minute, but the machine has a 40 amp/hour deep cycle battery. So this machine can serve 400 people if you let the battery charge overnight, making it great for outdoor events where you may not be able to plug in.

Commercial Shaved Ice Machines Taste Better
When you purchase a home machine, it’s usually to make something like a snow cone. But a commercial shaved ice machine uses sharp blades to make your ice smooth and thin. This helps with that fluffy, snow-like texture that pairs so well with fun add-ins. Plus, with so many delicious flavor syrups available for purchase, you can make an endless amount of unique treats.

Commercial Shaved Ice Machines Offer Replacement Parts
When you purchase a small snow cone machine that sits on your kitchen counter, you often just have to throw the whole thing away when something breaks because you can’t find the right part. But when you purchase a commercial shaved ice machine, you can purchase replacement blades and parts. This keeps your treats fresh and smooth because you can buy new blades whenever your old ones start to dull.

And replacing parts instead of buying new machines is better for the environment because e-waste takes up 70% of America’s toxic waste. So you can feel better about your purchase of a commercial shaved ice machine knowing that you’re helping reduce harmful pollutants.
