THE PROCESS

CRAFTING BIG ICE

Our cutting-edge ice machines, the Clinebells, are at the heart of our process. Infused with water purified through an extensive five-stage Carbon and UV filtration system, these machines employ directional freezing. This unique technique, maintaining constant motion, actively expels all air bubbles and impurities.

THE PROCESS

BIG ICE BLOCKS

Every 3-4 days, each machine produces a 140kg block of the purest, densest, and most transparent ice imaginable.

THE PROCESS

FINAL PRODUCT

We sculpt these colossal blocks into rocks, cubes, and spears using precision ice saws and tools perfectly tailored for your Rocks and Collins glasses.

The Process

QUALITY CONTROL

Our commitment and stringent procedures ensures each block retains its unparalleled clarity and consistency, delivering an exceptional experience every time.
