Our team of highly skilled technicians specializes in diagnosing and resolving issues with commercial ice makers of all types and brands. Whether you have a modular ice machine, under-counter ice maker, or a large-scale industrial ice machine, we have the expertise and experience to tackle any problem.

Modular Ice Machines

These ice makers produce ice in a separate unit that requires an additional ice storage bin. They offer high ice production capacity and are ideal for businesses with fluctuating ice demands.

Under-Counter Ice Machines

Designed to fit under standard-height countertops, under-counter ice makers provide a convenient and compact solution for businesses with limited space. They typically have lower ice production capacities compared to modular units.

Countertop Ice Machines

These small, self-contained ice makers are designed to sit on countertops, making them ideal for businesses with limited floor space. They are commonly used in offices, break rooms, or small foodservice establishments.

Dispenser Ice Machines

Dispenser ice machines produce ice and dispense it directly into containers, cups, or buckets. They eliminate the need for separate ice storage and are commonly used in self-serve areas, convenience stores, and healthcare facilities.

Flake Ice Machines

Flake ice machines produce small, soft, and chewable ice flakes. This type of ice is often used in salad bars, seafood displays, healthcare settings, and blended beverages.

Nugget Ice Machines

Nugget ice machines create small, cylindrical ice nuggets that are soft and chewable. Nugget ice is popular for use in blended cocktails, soft drinks, smoothies, and healthcare settings.

Full-Cube Ice Machines

Full-cube ice machines produce solid, large-sized ice cubes that melt slowly. They are commonly used in bars, restaurants, and other establishments where beverages need to be kept cold without excessive dilution.

Half-Cube Ice Machines

Half-cube ice machines produce smaller, rectangular-shaped ice cubes that are commonly used in beverage applications. They are known for their ability to displace liquid efficiently, maximizing profits for businesses.

Specialty Ice Machines

Specialty ice machines produce unique ice shapes such as crescent, octagonal, or custom-designed ice cubes. These machines are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal or specific functional requirements.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most commonly asked questions about commercial ice makers.

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining proper ice quality and preventing bacterial growth. It is generally recommended to clean the ice maker every three to six months, depending on usage. However, some high-volume environments may require more frequent cleaning.

Insufficient ice production can be caused by several factors. It could be due to a clogged water filter, low water pressure, a malfunctioning water inlet valve, or an issue with the ice maker’s components. Professional diagnosis is recommended to determine the exact cause and perform the necessary repairs.

The size of the commercial ice maker depends on factors such as the anticipated ice demand, the number of customers or employees, and the type of establishment. Consulting with a professional can help determine the appropriate ice maker size for your specific needs.

Ice clumping can occur due to improper temperature settings, high humidity levels, or extended storage periods. Ensuring proper ventilation around the ice maker, regularly emptying and sanitizing the ice bin, and adjusting temperature settings can help prevent ice clumping.

Unusual noises, such as banging, grinding, or rattling sounds, can indicate a problem with the ice maker. It could be due to a malfunctioning motor, faulty components, or an issue with the ice production process. Professional inspection and repair are advised to identify and resolve the source of the noise.

Regular maintenance, including cleaning, sanitizing, and proper water filtration, is essential for extending the lifespan of your ice maker. Additionally, following the manufacturer’s guidelines, avoiding overloading the ice bin, and addressing any issues promptly can help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
