Our selection of commercial ice equipment.
Air-Cooled Ice Machines
Air-cooled ice machines are more popular because in some cities water-cooled it is not recommended. Air-cooled ice machines are better for the environment, and your wallet. Air travels through the machine and removes the internal heat which is let out through the sides and rear.
Water-Cooled Ice Machines
While the air-cooled ice machines release the hot air, water-cooled ice machines use the same method except with water. The hot water drains out through the unit to maintain the correct temperature. No matter the temperature outside of the machine, water can always cool down which is great for areas with warm weather year-round.
Remote Cooled Ice Machines
Remote-cooled ice machines are more likely to be used in businesses that have roof access. Businesses like Mcdonald’s lease our ice machines that are placed on top of the roof for their drive-through stations. Remote-cooled ice machines are less noisy and puts the access heat outside. This is perfect for smaller kitchens in cooler climates. Air-cooled ice machines are popular in the fast food industry.
