Product Information

Ice Maker Cleaner Tablets — Nickel-Safe, Food-Contact Compliant, Built for Commercial Volume

Scale buildup inside ice machines is more than a maintenance nuisance. It slows production, shortens compressor life, and — when the wrong chemistry is used — corrodes the nickel-plated evaporator plates that most commercial ice makers rely on. Our Ice Maker Cleaner Tablets were formulated specifically to solve that problem: a pre-measured, nickel-safe descaler that dissolves mineral scale and lime without attacking the metal underneath. Boymay has manufactured effervescent and cleaning tablets in Huizhou, Guangdong since 1995, and this SKU is one of our most requested private-label lines for foodservice distributors, HORECA suppliers, and appliance-care brands.

What the Cleaner Tablets Actually Does

Each tablet is a compressed effervescent dose based on a food-grade acid blend (sulfamic and citric), a controlled surfactant system, and a scale-lifting agent. Drop it into the water reservoir, run the cleaning cycle, rinse. That's the whole procedure. No measuring liquid concentrate, no splash exposure for staff, no guesswork on dilution.

  • Nickel-safe chemistry — compatible with Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic and other nickel-plated evaporator systems. No pitting or plate discoloration when used as directed.
  • Food-contact compliant — ingredients meet FDA 21 CFR standards for indirect food contact after rinse.
  • Fast dissolve, low residue — full breakdown in under 2 minutes at 15–25°C water temperature.
  • Pre-dosed convenience — one tablet per standard undercounter unit; two for modular heads. Eliminates chemical handling errors.
  • Stable shelf life — 36 months in sealed foil, verified through accelerated aging tests at our in-house QC lab.

Certifications on File

  • FDA registration
  • ISO 22716:2007 (Cosmetics GMP)
  • GMPC / TRA GMP
  • SMETA 4-pillar audit

Certificates are available for verification directly with the issuing bodies. We provide audit reports and factory videos before sample dispatch — buyers don't need to travel to Huizhou to know what they're getting, though we warmly welcome site visits and can arrange a full factory tour whenever you'd like to see the operation firsthand.

Why Buyers Choose Boymay Over a Trading Company

Most cleaner-tablet suppliers online are resellers. We're the factory, and the difference shows up in three places:

  • Formula ownership. Our R&D team can modify the active blend within two weeks. A trader has to negotiate with their upstream supplier and usually can't.
  • Batch traceability. Every production lot has a retained sample and a full COA. If a customer flags an issue 8 months later, we can pull the record.
  • Flexible MOQ. 1,000 units is a real starting point, not a bait number. First orders often run small so buyers can validate the product with their own customers before scaling.

FAQ

Q: Will these tablets damage the nickel plating in my customer's ice machine?

A: No. Sulfamic acid at our formulated concentration is the industry-standard descaler recommended by most ice machine manufacturers. We test compatibility on nickel-plated coupons for every formula change.

Q: Can we get a food-safe certification for the North American market?

A: Yes. The base formula uses ingredients listed under FDA 21 CFR for indirect food contact. NSF registration is available as an add-on service; typical processing runs 3–4 months and we handle the documentation.

Q: What does the 1,000-unit MOQ actually include?

A: 1,000 finished retail bottles with your artwork, using our stock formula. Custom formula or custom bottle tooling raises the MOQ, and we'll quote that transparently upfront.

Q: How do you handle shipping?

A: FOB Shenzhen or Guangzhou is standard. We also arrange DDP to major US, EU, and Australian ports through our forwarding partners. Air freight samples ship via DHL or FedEx within 48 hours of payment.

Q: Do you supply competing brands in my region?

A: Regional exclusivity is negotiable based on annual volume commitment. We take this seriously — repeat buyers are the reason the business has run for 30 years.
