Exploring the World of Commercial Ice Making Machines
The importance of ice cannot be overstated. Whether it's chilling beverages, preserving food, or creating stunning visual displays, ice plays a crucial role in hospitality. Having the right ice making machine can make all the difference.
Let's explore the different types of machines available.
Modular Ice Machines
Modular ice machines are designed to produce large quantities of ice and are typically used in large restaurants, hotels, and hospitals. These machines produce ice in separate module called the head that must be paired with a separate ice storage bin or dispenser. Modular units come in various sizes and ice production capacities, allowing you to choose the model that fits your needs.
Undercounter Ice Machines
Undercounter ice machines are compact units designed to fit underneath standard commercial countertops. These machines are ideal for small bars, cafes, and restaurants with limited space. Despite their smaller size, undercounter ice machines are capable of producing a significant amount of ice, making them suitable for moderate ice requirements.
Countertop Ice Machines
Countertop ice machines are even more compact than undercounter models and are designed to sit on top of a counter or bar. These machines are perfect for businesses where space is at a premium, such as small cafes, bars and convenience stores. Countertop ice machines are easy to install and operate, making them a great solution for low to moderate ice needs.
Ice Dispensers
Ice dispensers are specialised machines that store and dispense ice automatically. These units are commonly found in self-service environments like hotels, hospitals, and cafeterias, where customers can easily access ice without the need for staff assistance. Ice dispensers come in various configurations, and are designed to be used with a modular ice making head.
Flake Ice Machines
Flake ice machines produce soft, mouldable ice flakes that are ideal for seafood displays, salad bars, and medical applications. Flake ice is also popular in blended beverages and cocktails due to its quick melting properties. Flake ice machines are available in modular and undercounter configurations, providing diverse ice needs.
Nugget Ice Machines
Nugget ice machines produce chewable, soft nugget-shaped ice that is popular for its texture and ability to absorb flavours. These machines are commonly used in fast-food restaurants, convenience stores, and healthcare facilities. Nugget ice machines come in various sizes and production capacities, making them suitable for a variety of uses.
