Recently purchased a Deep Freezer (100 Litre). Looking for an ice tray to keep an at least of 100 cubes always readymade.
p.s:
Just wondering what the current limit of cubes is to make at once... Is there an ice tray which holds 1000 cubes exits? (I even tried searching "Ice making machine Accessories" but no luck.)

Do you have a 3d printer?

 

Have you considered how large a tray making 1000 ice cubes would be?

There are 3 dimensions.

 

I would start looking for a proper Ice-making-machine that is used.

But, Old-School Ice-Trays are still readily available at Walmart and Thrift-Stores.

A "Deep-Freezer", especially a small one, may not have the freezing capacity that You are expecting.
It may take 2 to 3 days to go from Water to really, really cold ice.

Remember, not all Ice is the same,
there's ~31F Ice, which melts back to Water while You watch,
and there's also minus 5F Ice,
which will last for several days in a good Insulated-Cooler,
and what type You end-up with can make a huge difference,
depending on what end result You expecting.

I prefer really really COLD Ice.

Mine can get down upto -18 degree Celsius...

Depends on how big the cubes are, of course, but it isn't outrageously huge.

Most "normal" ice cube trays are roughly 1" on a side, so that would be a tray that is about 32" on a side (and, of course, it can be laid out in a rectangle instead of a square). That is in the ballpark of the size of a shelf full-size freezer and well within the size of many chest-style freezers. So it's not out of the question by any means.

It's also possible to make a 3-D tray, which would take up less than a one-foot cube. There are several ways to do this, most involving metal separators that have sufficient gaps to let the water seep through. The problem with these set ups is that you need to cool the thing very carefully so that the outside doesn't freeze too soon, otherwise the expansion of the inside will cause all kinds of problems.

 

Target has mini-icecube trays that hold 160.

Here's something else you might consider:

Exactly. Now imagine filling it at the sink and carrying it to the freezer. The standard 14 cube tray was bad enough.

Have fun filling that.

So, you're telling me that you can't think of a way to easily fill 10 levels of 10x10 cubes from the top?

How does gravity work in your world?

I'd fill it in the freezer, which is what I do now most of the time. We have a full-size freezer in the garage. Walking a standard ice tray with water in it from the kitchen to the garage, including the steps involved, often results in at least some water on the floor, plus I'm not comfortable taking more than one tray at a time. So I wait until I have about four to six trays that are empty and then I take them and a large pitcher of water out to the freezer, set the trays on the shelf, and then add water. Done in one simple trip.

Pulling a 1000-cube tray out and taking it some place to empty it wouldn't be much of a problem. It wouldn't be light -- something like 50 lb or so -- but manageable for most people. Emptying it at the freezer is also likely a viable option, and probably the one I would take.

I was referring to the BTU-Capacity of your Compressor,
( not necessarily the absolute lowest temperature ),
and the Volume or Weight of the Water to be frozen.

A crude analogy to this could be Volts vs Amps.
It takes Power to make Ice.

Very brief teardown. For technical data read service manual, link in this YT video description.

If you want to deal with a single ice tray holding 15 liters of water, be my guest. It must be entirely reasonable and practical, that is why they in such wide usage.

 

The TS isn't looking for something that is practical in the view of the consumer marketplace. He is looking for something that meets a need/desire that he has. It's already been pointed out that a thousand ice cubes, depending on size, could be in the 50 lb range (though 35 lb is probably more likely). If that is not a deal breaker for the TS, then let them continue getting thoughts and ideas on how to do what they want.

 

Planning to stack trays one above one upto 5 trays. Can keep a reasonal amount of cubes always.

What size trays are you talking about?

What kind of freezer is this?

One thing to watch out for is that older full-size freezers ran the coolant through some of the shelfs. I don't know if any of the more modern ones do. If you have that kind, you want to be careful about not overloading those shelves.

He asked about 1000 cube trays. I have been trying to explain why he won’t find such a thing. Some of you seem to think I am being silly. So be it.
