Summit's series of commercially ice machines bring powerful performance, user-friendly convenience, and professional style to commercial settings. Model BIM55BU is an ENERGY STAR commercial ice machine that is ETL-S listed to NSF-12 standards. This ice machine features a fully finished stainless steel cabinet and a jet black front with an easy-to-use slide-up lid. It is designed for standing use and features an air-cooled system to prevent overheating. Inside, the BIM55BU produces up to 55 lbs. of clear, bullet-style ice daily.

The interior can store up to 33 lbs. to help meet the needs of high-traffic areas.

This unit also has a water filter and a removable mesh filter at the rear to ensure easier condenser maintenance. This automatic ice machine features a clean function, a full bin sensor, attractive LED lighting, and an ice scoop to maximize convenience. With its unique size, user-friendly controls, and large bullet ice production capacity, the BIM55BU is a great fit for break rooms, bars, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and similar spaces.
