COTLIN has introduced the IMB55 15-inch Undercounter Ultra-Clear Bullet Ice Maker, designed to address the common problem of cloudy, fast-melting ice that gradually dilutes beverages and alters their intended flavor profiles. The appliance targets home bars, entertaining spaces, and small kitchen settings where ice quality often becomes noticeable only as drinks lose their aromatic balance and taste over time.
Traditional residential ice makers typically freeze water rapidly and unevenly, trapping air pockets and dissolved minerals inside the ice. These imperfections increase surface area, causing ice to melt faster in drinks and leading to cumulative dilution that affects how beverages smell, taste, and finish. The Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker utilizes an advanced spray-type ice-making method that keeps water in constant motion during freezing, allowing dissolved gases to escape and excess minerals to rinse away rather than becoming locked inside.
This spray system results in clearer, fuller-bodied bullet ice that freezes uniformly from core to surface, creating structural density and optical clarity. Each bullet ice measures ODΦ1.1" × 1.50" (ODΦ30×38mm), producing generously sized, transparent ice that catches light like cut crystal. This ultra-clear density helps premium drinks like whiskey, cocktails, and iced coffee maintain their original flavor profile longer by resisting the watery finish typical of standard ice.
The appliance produces up to 52 pounds of ice daily with 26 pounds of internal storage capacity, automatically stopping when full and resuming production as ice is used. An intuitive LCD control panel displays real-time ice-making status and settings, allowing users to adjust ice thickness across nine levels to tailor ice behavior for different beverages. A built-in 12-hour timer helps manage energy use during off-hours, while reversible door design offers installation flexibility for kitchen or bar layouts.
For long-term maintenance, the Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker features auto one-touch self-cleaning that flushes the water reservoir and ice-making components to remove mineral buildup without disassembly. A hidden filter design includes a discreet internal compartment for water filter installation, keeping the unit visually clean while allowing tool-free filter swaps. The LCD control panel tracks filter lifespan and alerts users when replacement is due.
The undercounter appliance measures 14.9"W × 22.6"D × 34"H to fit beneath standard countertops, with front-facing ventilation requiring no side or top clearance for seamless integration into kitchens, home bars, and entertainment areas. The unit is UL certified, meeting established safety and electrical standards for permanent undercounter appliances in residential environments.
