Replacing the ever popular C-Series (which produced hollow bullet-shaped ice), the new M-Series of Masterfrost professional ice makers produces a solid gourmet ice cube.
Established in Greece, 1965, Masterfrost has been producing professional ice makers for over 50 years - focussing purely on quality, efficiency, affordability and low running costs.
During that time they have introduced several unique and innovative concepts that demonstrate their commitment and unrivalled expertise. They are still investing heavily in research and development today to ensure their machines meet the needs of today’s global market.
Producing gourmet-shaped ice cubes, the M-Series from Masterfrost uses an innovative hybrid water and air cooling system that enables the machines to work in extremely high ambient temperatures of up to +43°C. Unlike other water-cooled ice makers, it does this without using more water than an air-cooled equivalent.
This system also aids efficiency and the current M-Series saves up to 35% more energy than a standard model.
Better performance, better solid ice and better reliability makes the M-Series the perfect solution to all your ice making needs.

At Sterling Pro Refrigeration durability, affordability and reliability are at the forefront of everything they do.
In the current climate having reliable and efficient commercial equipment is more important than ever. With ever-rising energy bills for businesses and an increased strain on public spending the hospitality sector is once again going through another difficult spell following the recent pandemic.
Refrigeration appliances are unlike most others in that they are running 24/7, 365 days per year. This makes their energy consumption incredibly important to both the business and the environment. The Green range shows a 65% reduction in energy consumption against our standard range while still achieving the very best performance.
The lower operating temperature of Hydrocarbon refrigerants creates lower heat and noise emissions, improving the comfort of the work place and extending the life of the compressor. Though goes into every component with our new low energy compressors, large area evaporators and high efficiency fans all working together to keep running costs to a minimum.
Sterling Pro has always put functionality at the forefront and so it is no surprise that our Green and Vantage ranges also improves usability. Their new moulded shelf guides in the upright cabinets allow effortless sliding of the nylon-coated shelves and make cleaning a simple process, saving time and effort. Easy-fit magnetic gaskets on all cabinets and counters allow for effortless replacement, increasing hygiene and efficiency. A stamped bottom place removes any chance for grease and dirt to collect, improving hygiene.
Our premium heavy duty Vantage range also adds to this with climate class 5 performance, upgraded insulation and natural hydrocarbon refrigerants; ensuring the units are ideal even for the most demanding environments. All the features and more you'd expect from a leading brand's premium cabinets.
