SnoWizard SnoBall Machine / New Orleans Block Shaved Ice Maker
Block Ice Shaver. Transforms blocks of ice into mounds of delicate snow-like flakes. Great for making snow cones.

- Blue Colored Door
- 3/4" threading to attach a hose to (hose not included)
- White polyethylene drip pan
- Tool kit (includes: blade gauge allen wrench, tube of food grade grease)
- Owners manual
- Lifetime warranty
Does not come with the ice mold; sold separately
What Is the SnoWizard®?
The SnoWizard® is the original commercial block ice shaver that set the benchmark for the entire shaved-ice industry. It is specifically engineered to shave solid blocks of ice (not cubed ice), producing an ultra-fine, fluffy, snow-like texture that melts smoothly in your mouth.
This is the texture customers associate with true New Orleans–style SnoBalls, not crunchy snow cones.
Why SnoWizard® Is Different (and Better)
1. True Snow Texture (Not Crushed Ice)
- Produces soft, feather-light shaved ice
- Absorbs syrup evenly instead of letting it run to the bottom
- Melts smoothly on the tongue (no crunch, no ice chips)
This is the key difference between SnoWizard® and standard cube-ice or economy shavers.
2. Block Ice Technology
- Designed exclusively for block ice
- Mimics the old hand-planed ice technique—only faster and consistent
- Delivers uniform flakes every time
Most machines today compromise texture by using cube ice. SnoWizard® never did.
3. Proven History & Engineering
- Invented in 1936 by George Ortolano
- Over 80+ years of continuous refinement
- Industry standard for:
- Snowball stands
- Festivals
- High-volume shaved-ice businesses
This is not a trend machine—it’s a legacy machine.
4. Built to Last a Lifetime
Construction highlights:
- Precision-welded stainless steel cabinet
- Perfectly machined aluminum castings
- Old-world craftsmanship (not mass-produced shortcuts)
Important fact:
Not one single SnoWizard SnoBall Machine® has ever required service for a manufacturing defect in over 75+ years.
That’s virtually unheard of in commercial foodservice equipment.
5. Lifetime Warranty (Original Owner)
- Covers defects in workmanship and materials
- Includes:
- Parts
- Labor
- Return shipping
This lifetime warranty is a direct reflection of confidence in their build quality.
Who Should Use a SnoWizard®?
SnoWizard® is ideal for:
- Snowball & shaved-ice stands
- Festivals & fairs
- High-volume seasonal operations
- Operators who want premium texture, not just ice production
- Businesses that want zero compromise and long-term ROI
If texture and customer experience matter, there is no substitute.
Bottom Line (Straight Talk)
- Best texture in the industry
- True snow, not crushed ice
All other machines—block or cubed—are compared to SnoWizard®, not the other way around.
