Before you can decide to buy a commercial ice machine, there are a few things you need to know about choosing the right option for you. An ice machine is a piece of must-have restaurant equipment if you are in the hospitality industry, be it a restaurant, hotel, resort or even a golf club. The various options available may at first seem confusing. Read on to know more about which ice machine will suit your need the best.

Ice Machine Basics That You Should Know
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 of 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.

Commercial Ice Machines For Different Businesses
With the introduction of cutting edge and innovative technologies, a commercial ice machine is no longer a bulky device producing insanitation, consuming a lot of energy, making noise, and taking a lot of time to make the needed supply of ice. As a result of high-end technologies, commercial ice machines are able to achieve “being green” the highest levels of energy and water conservation. Now a commercial ice machine can easily produce from 65 pounds to 2,000 pounds of ice cubes in a day.

Ice Shapes
So after considering your quantity and space requirements, you now need to decide upon the shape of ice cubes, you desire.
The shapes on offer are Diced cubes, Half Diced, Contour cubes, Nuggets, and Flakes. Each of the different shapes is suited for different applications and has its own advantages. Diced ice is regular ice in the shape of cubes. It is commonly used for carbonated beverages, mixed drinks, ice displays, ice dispensing, banquet services and ice retailing. The Half Diced cube ice has a favorable liquid displacement. Contour cube ice is just right for carbonated beverages, mixed drinks, ice displays, ice dispensing and ice retailing. Their unique design reduces splashes as the contour shape encourages the liquid to flow over easily. Individual cubes make them easy to dispense.

Other Forms
Nugget ice or Sonic ice is the ideal choice for blended cocktails, bar fountain drinks, produce displays, salad bars, and even therapeutic needs. Its diverse uses are due to the fact that the ice melts slowly. It cools a drink faster without any foam formation. It is the right option for patient care and therapeutic needs. It also displaces more liquid, which could translate to better profits. The last of the lot is Flaked ice. It is the thing for seafood, produce and meat displays. It is also useful in blended cocktails and salad bars. Flaked ice can be easily molded to use for ice displays. As it cools faster than any other ice shape, it is ideal for therapeutic or patient use.

Under Counter Ice Machines and Their Uses
Today’s hottest appliances have broken out of the box and are redefining the way Americans outfit their kitchens and homes. Imagine a never-ending supply of restaurant-quality ice. The under counter ice machine unobtrusively adds accessibility and convenience to your kitchen. The way an under counter ice maker will work is that it creates its gourmet-like ice cubes by water being continually circulated by a pump that gently sprays water into inverted ice cube molds. Only the water is frozen, leaving impurities in the bottom of the tray where it is washed away on the next ice making cycle. Under the counter, ice machines are compact enough to be installed under the counter. They are also self-contained ice machine units with a low capacity suited for smaller bars or even homes.

Commercial Ice Machines For Beginners
As you are looking to purchase a commercial ice machine for your restaurant, bar, country club or golf course or factory, there are some questions that you may have prior to your purchase to make sure that you are purchasing an adequate sized ice machine for the needs of your facility. Here are some common questions: How do I determine how much ice I will need for my facility? This is a question asked by many and we will provide some figures that are averages for proper ice levels, we will advise you on this.

A self-contained unit is a single unit, where the ice maker and the ice bin have been put together as a single unit. Typically the capacity of self-contained ice machines is much lower than that of the modular units.

Air Or Water Cooled ?, Ice Machines can be either air or water-cooled, whichever is chosen is dependent on the location of the machine and cost of water, for example, a machine located in a confined space or hot environment may need to be water cooled as the hot ambient reduces ice production and adds heat to the apace and increases strain on the machine. Many times ice machines in these types of locations can be air cooled with a remotely mounted condenser which rejects the heat of operation to an outside space, we can also advise on this.
