The Essential Role of Ice in Hospitality
In the world of hospitality, ice is more than just frozen water – it’s a crucial element for beverage chilling, food preservation and enhancing visual presentations. The right ice making machine can be a game-changer for you.
Understanding the different types of commercial ice machines available will help you select the perfect one for your business needs.
Modular Ice Systems
If you require large quantities of ice, modular ice systems are the ideal solution. These machines are designed for high-volume production, making them a staple in large restaurants, hotels, and healthcare facilities. Modular ice systems consist of separate units called heads, which are paired with ice storage bins or dispensers. Available in various sizes and production capacities, these systems can be customized to meet your specific demands.
Under Counter Ice Makers
Space is often at a premium in smaller places, that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on ice production. Under counter ice makers are compact and efficient, designed to fit seamlessly under standard commercial countertops. Perfect for cozy bars, cafes and small restaurants, these machines offer substantial ice production in a space-saving design ensuring you have enough ice to meet demands.
Ice Dispensing Solutions
In self-service environments, such as hotels, hospitals and cafeterias, the ability to quickly and easily access ice is essential. Ice dispensers are specialised machines that store and automatically dispense ice. These dispensers are available in various configurations and are used in conjunction with modular ice making heads, offering a seamless and efficient ice delivery system.
Flake Ice Systems
Certain applications require more specialized forms of ice and flake ice systems are designed to meet those needs. These machines produce soft, pliable ice flakes, which are perfect for seafood displays, salad bars, and medical applications. Flake ice is also popular in blended beverages and cocktails due to its quick melting properties. Available in both modular and under counter configurations, flake ice systems provide versatility and adaptability for a wide range of uses.
Nugget Ice Makers
Nugget ice, known for its chewable texture and ability to absorb flavours, has become increasingly popular in various settings. Nugget ice makers produce a soft, nugget-shaped ice, making them a favourite in fast-food restaurants, convenience stores and healthcare facilities. These machines come in a variety of sizes and production capacities, ensuring there’s a nugget ice maker suitable for any application.
