Why this ice machine earns its place
The Foster CD854 is built for operators who need a proper production-and-storage ice system, not a token cube maker tucked under the counter. It pairs Foster's F132 modular ice maker with the SB105 bin, giving bars, restaurants, hotels and event venues a dedicated ice station for steady drinks service.
Foster's ice-making approach is all about cube quality at the point of harvest. The machine produces ice at very low temperatures, so the cubes come out harder and last longer once they are in the glass or ice well. For busy service, that means ice that can hold its own through batching, shaking, soft drinks and table service without giving up too quickly.
The production tray is flushed after every cycle, helping to reduce limescale build-up and support clear, hygienic ice. The cube format is suited to drinks service, while manual defrost and CFC-free operation keep the operating brief straightforward for a commercial site.
