Commercial operation
The operations problem
Ice becomes a bottleneck
when service gets busy.
For F&B operators, ice affects service speed, consistency, beverage quality and the customer experience.
Bagged ice dependency
Storage, handling, delivery timing and hygiene become recurring operational work.
Inconsistent drink quality
Different ice size and melt behaviour can change taste, dilution and presentation.
Counter workflow pressure
Separate water, ice and hot-water equipment compete for valuable counter space.
Why nugget ice
A small upgrade customers can
see, feel and taste.
Nugget ice is not just cold — it becomes part of the drink experience.
Chewable texture
Soft, satisfying mouthfeel for iced coffee, fruit tea, bubble tea and mocktails.
Fast chilling
More surface area helps beverages cool quickly during service.
Premium presentation
A distinctive ice format that makes drinks feel more crafted and memorable.
Commercial performance
Built around
busy service.
KB5 is built for regular commercial cold-drink demand and positioned as a compact, right-sized machine for everyday F&B beverage counters.

Capacity sizing
Start with your outlet’s
daily beverage rhythm.
Use 46 kg/day as the conservative Singapore hot-climate planning number, then size around cup size, menu, peak hour and preparation ice.
Daily ice need = drinks / day × ice per drink
+ prep / cooling ice + 20% peak buffer
| Outlet type | Example volume | Typical ice use | Estimated need | KB5 fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Café | 80–200 iced drinks/day | ~180 g / drink | 17–43 kg/day | Strong fit |
| Bubble tea / fruit tea | 120–230 drinks/day | ~200 g / drink | 29–55 kg/day | Fit / size carefully |
| Restaurant | 80–180 iced covers/day | ~120 g / guest | 12–26 kg/day | Strong fit |
| Dessert / mocktail shop | 80–160 items/day | ~200 g / item | 19–38 kg/day | Strong fit |
Sales-sizing examples only. Confirm actual cup size, menu, peak-hour volume, preparation ice, site conditions and operating environment before final selection.

Who is KB5 for?
Commercial ice
where it matters.
Best for businesses and facilities with regular or higher-volume cold-drink demand.
Café
Iced coffee, tea, matcha and refreshers. Best when drink volume is steady throughout the day.
Bubble Tea / Fruit Tea
Cup ice, tea cooling and batching. Strong fit, but size carefully for peak-hour drink spikes.
Restaurant / Bar
Soft drinks, water service and mocktails. A practical support machine for daily service ice.
Dessert Shop
Fruit tea, toppings and cold dessert drinks where the ice becomes part of the customer experience.
Office / Pantry
Staff refreshment, meetings and visitors with heavier shared use.
Hotel / Facilities
Lounges, service points and refreshment zones that benefit from distributed small service points.
Configured for your outlet
Your menu is different.
Your ice setup should be too.
KB5 can be configured around your menu, service workflow and outlet requirements rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all appliance.
Nugget Ice Only
Dedicated commercial nugget ice for outlets that already have their water systems in place.
Best fit: Restaurant / Bar
Ambient Water + Nugget Ice
Cold-drink support plus preparation or drinking water from one service point.
Best fit: Café
Hot Water + Nugget Ice
Project configuration for tea preparation or batching before drinks are served cold.
Best fit: Bubble Tea / Fruit Tea
Custom configurations are subject to engineering confirmation, site requirements and quotation.
Commercial economics
Your current ice cost is more than
the price of ice.
On-site nugget ice can reduce dependency on deliveries, freezer space and emergency ice runs while giving the outlet a more consistent service workflow.
Traditional ice setup
- Bagged ice purchases
- Delivery timing and minimum orders
- Freezer or bin storage space
- Staff handling, scooping and restocking
- Emergency runs when peak demand spikes
KB5 on-site nugget ice
- Fresh nugget ice produced on-site
- 46 kg/day hot-climate output for daily planning
- 5 kg onboard storage for ready ice
- Configurable ice, ambient water or hot-water project setup
- One solution sized around the outlet workflow
