COTLIN has introduced the IMB55 Undercounter Ultra-Clear Bullet Ice Maker, a residential appliance designed to address the often-overlooked problem of ice quality in home entertaining. The unit utilizes an advanced spray-type ice-making method that produces clearer, denser bullet ice that melts more slowly than standard residential ice, helping premium drinks maintain their intended flavor profile longer.
Traditional residential ice production involves rapid freezing that traps air pockets and dissolved minerals within the ice structure. These imperfections increase surface area, causing faster melting and gradual dilution that alters how drinks smell, taste, and finish. The Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker's spray system keeps water in constant motion during freezing, allowing dissolved gases to escape and excess minerals to rinse away rather than becoming locked inside. This results in ice that freezes uniformly from core to surface, creating the structural density and optical clarity that define ultra-clear ice.
Each bullet ice measures ODΦ1.1" × 1.50" (ODΦ30×38mm), providing generously sized, transparent ice that catches light like cut crystal. The machine produces up to 52 pounds of ice daily with 26 pounds of internal storage, automatically stopping when full and resuming production as ice is used. An intuitive LCD control panel displays real-time ice-making status and allows users to adjust ice thickness across 9 levels, enabling customization for different drink types from slow-sipping whiskey to cocktail service.
The appliance is designed for undercounter installation with dimensions of 14.9"W × 22.6"D × 34"H, featuring front-facing ventilation that requires no side or top clearance. A reversible door offers installation flexibility for kitchen or bar layouts. Maintenance features include auto one-touch self-cleaning, a hidden filter design for tool-free filter swaps, and a smart filter replacement reminder on the control panel. The unit is UL certified for residential safety standards.
