A commercial ice machine is used in many different places of business. Ice machines are used in office buildings, restaurants, country clubs, golf courses, schools and the list goes on and on. Commercial ice machines, such as Manitowoc, are used everywhere you look and they are very important to the success for many different businesses. This being said, if you are in charge of choosing and purchasing a commercial ice machine, obviously, you will need to make sure you buy a reliable unit as well as one that is properly sized.
What should you look for in a industrial ice machine? First you need to consider the area you will place the commercial ice machine. You need to figure out how large or how small you will need your ice making machine to be and how many pounds of ice will it needs to produce. This may depend on what type of building the ice machine will be used in. For example, if it is a busy restaurant or cafeteria, your ice machine should probably choose one that is on the larger side. However, if it is a commercial ice machine in a mid-sized or smaller office, you choice will be of a smaller sort.
Next you need to figure out what your commercial ice machine will be used for. Will it be simply for the employees in a office? Will it provide ice for a golf course beverage cart or a dining room salad bar? If your machine is going to be for a small number of people, you may be able to use a countertop ice machine. If your ice making machine is going to provide ice for a large volume, then you will need more of a commercial unit. You will need to figure out these statics. After you have this all figured out, you can decide what kind of ice machine that will fulfill your needs.
Ice cube machines come with the choice of all different types of services. Many times when you look at an ice machine you are seeing more than just an ice machine. Many times you are seeing an ice machine as well as an ice bin. The actual ice machine is a box that sits on top of the ice bin. These are actually two separate pieces. The ice bin sits on the bottom and is where the ice resides once it is made. With this type of commercial ice machine you can simply lift up the lid and scoop what you need out. This type is best for the larger scale commercial businesses, golf courses or country clubs.
Another decision that you will need to make is what shape of ice do you want your machine to provide? For instance, some make chipped ice for personal beverages, while other machines make larger cubes. The machines that make smaller, chips of ice are better for offices or business hallways. Additional aspects to consider for your commercial ice maker are cooling systems and how well the ice is chilled. Also you may consider filters as some ice machines tend to absorb smells more easily than others machines do.
