How much ice do you want your ice machine to produce?
It is important to understand the needs of your business before purchasing an ice machine. What will you be using the ice for; how much ice are you really going to need? If your business is primarily drinks which uses ice then you’re going to need a bigger machine which will give you a bigger yield of ice. If you are a small café that only uses ice now and then for iced drinks then you should consider a smaller ice machine. They type of ice machine should be purchased based on your business’s needs. Buying a bigger ice machine that you rarely use can cause other problems i.e.; too much ice being produced and not moving it out of the storage bin enough can cause the ice to clump. Bigger doesn’t always mean better if you’re not using the machine efficiently.
However, you do need to certain when purchasing an ice machine that the machine you choose will supply your business with enough ice for you to use every day.

Power, Water and Drainage
Ice Machines also require you to have three main components when installing your ice machine. The correct electrical outlet for the machine, water within a metre of your machine and the correct drainage for the excess water to run into. When purchasing a machine always think that you need, power, water and drainage.
Space
When purchasing an ice machine, you need to consider the space that you have for the unit and the convenience of the unit in relation to your staff being able to get to the ice in a timely and efficient manner.
Most importantly your ice machine if it is an air-cooled ice machine needs ventilation and air flow to allow your machine to not overheat. A hot ice machine will can cause serious problems and will limit the amount of ice that it produces. If you’re designing your business from scratch you need to consider this as well. An ice machine built into cabinetry looks aesthetically pleasing to the eye but not having the correct ventilation an ice machine needs will cause you problems in the future. This should not only be considered for ice machines but all of your commercial refrigeration equipment.
You should also allow enough room for the technicians who will have to service your unit, they need to be able to remove all the panels and have access to all the components of the unit. Ice Machines are normally fixed into place with drain and water and are not on wheels so as much access you can provide will save the technicians time and your money.
We recommend that you service your ice machines at least twice a year. The technicians will require to remove over 15 internal parts for cleaning. Water filters also need to be fitted to ensure long life durability and they should be replaced every 6-12months.
If you have considered these factors when looking at purchasing an ice machine and are still perplexed about which ice machine you should purchase for your business, please call At Temp Refrigeration Services or email us with any questions and our qualified technicians and staff are more than willing to assist you.
