Used Snomaster SM-150 150kg Commercial Ice Maker
The Snomaster SM-150 ice maker is a plumbed-in commercial unit that produces up to 150 kilograms of square block ice every 24 hours and holds it in a built-in 160-kilogram storage bin. This used unit is the back-of-house workhorse behind busy bars, restaurants, pubs, convenience stores, and event kitchens that move through ice faster than a domestic machine can keep up with.
Choosing a serviced, pre-owned ice maker over a new one is how many operators control their opening costs. The SM-150 uses a straightforward, repairable design, so a properly inspected used machine can deliver years of reliable output at well below new pricing. On a used purchase, what matters most is the health of the sealed refrigeration system and the cleanliness of the ice-contact parts, not cosmetic wear on the cabinet.
What the Snomaster SM-150 Ice Maker Delivers
The machine connects to a standard cold-water line and makes clear, square-cube ice on an automatic cycle. An ice-full sensor halts production once the bin reaches capacity, and a disposable water-filter cartridge protects the system while improving ice clarity. The cabinet is finished in rust-resistant stainless steel so it holds up in a wet, high-use environment. Full model details are published by the maker at Snomaster.

Where the SM-150 fits
This is back-of-house production equipment, not a self-service vending machine. It belongs behind the counter at bars, restaurants, cafes, pubs, catering operations, and convenience stores where staff bag or scoop ice throughout the day. With a 150 kg daily ceiling and a generous bin, it comfortably covers a single busy venue or a small multi-station kitchen.
Inspecting a used unit before you buy
- Compressor and condenser condition, and whether the unit cools to a full cycle.
- Scale or mineral buildup on the evaporator and water path.
- Age of the water-filter cartridge and when it was last replaced.
- Bin seals, hinges, and interior hygiene.
- Water inlet valve and drain for leaks.
- Level, stable footing, since an unlevel machine ices unevenly.
Every machine we list is inspected before it ships and is backed by Vendo Fleet’s warranty and US-based support, with free delivery across the contiguous United States. If you need self-service ice retail for the public rather than counter production, compare this used Snomaster SM-150 ice maker against the dispensers in our ice and drink equipment catalog.
