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.)
 
Given some issues in practicality, don't look for super-large ice trays. The people who make such trays usually make them no bigger than whatever is considered more or less "standard" among commercial refrigerators. If they make the trays TOO big, they cut themselves off from the general marketplace for buyers who would normally be buying trays for their home fridge.

We had an ice making machine once. (Wife's first husband was in the refrigeration business.) They don't use trays that you insert or remove. They have a built-in tray and just every so often go through an automatic cycle where they mechanically dump the ice into a big bucket or storage box.
 
Ice trays are generally about the size of a US carton for a dozen eggs. The size is practical, as has been mentioned. You can even use the empty styrofoam egg cartons as extra trays in a pinch. The styrofoam is fragile so you probably won't get more than one use out of it. Another great use for ice trays is for freezing home made baby food. What a lifesaver that trick is.
 
Can you tell us the proposed need for 1000 ice cubes to be at the ready?
As Minty said Try Amazon for options.
 
If filling a cooler, look into blue-ice plastic packages that you freeze and put into a cooler to keep the drinks cold. But when all has thawed, you just pop them back in the freezer. They last for many dozens of uses.
