Description

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.

  • 34-1/2"L x 24-3/8"D x 5"H
  • 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.
