AIS offers two different types of block ice makers. Each type is for relatively low volume applications. One type freezes 10-lb blocks in specialty designed bags and the other type freezes ultra-clear 275-lb blocks used to make ice carvings.

Block presses are a cost effective alternative to freezing blocks of ice. These machines hydraulically compress cube ice, ice pieces, or waste ice into sellable blocks of ice. AIS offers both a fully automatic, high capacity block press and a more economical manually operated unit.
