An ice cube machine for fun in the sun.

Imagine reclining on a tropical beach under a wide white umbrella, a slight cooling breeze caressing your face and the sound of the waves gently lapping at the white sand.  A waiter arrives, cocktail in hand and gives you your drink.  Your lips close around the straw and you take a long drink of liquid that is as warm as the summer day.  No ice.  This happens more often than you realise.  Some tropical islands charge for ice cubes and there never seem to be enough.  It is not the lack of an ice cube machine that is the problem, but a lack of clean drinkable water.  Most tropical islands come with the warning not to drink the water.  All sorts of filters and water tablets have been designed to combat this problem.  Similarly, a filter can now be placed on or in an ice cube machine for health and safety reasons.  Nobody wants to spend their holiday sick to their stomach.  In fact many tourist agencies recommend that you use bottled water to brush your teeth.

An ice cube machine with a filter attached can make those moments of sipping a cold cocktail on a quiet tropical island beach stress free.  Not only that, but the abundant seafood buffets will remain fresher and cooler on a bed of ice than just standing in the open.  The salad bar will serve fresh crisp lettuce and the fruit will be juicy, sweet and colourful.

In addition, an ice cube machine outside your hotel room, or even inside your room can make your vacation that much more enjoyable.  You wouldn’t have to leave your room every time you wanted to have a drink.  Let’s face it, an ice bucket full of ice does not last that long in the tropical climes, even with air conditioning.  Imagine having an ice cube machine in your home to deliver all the same joys as having ice on demand on a tropical island vacation.

Treat yourself to an ice cube machine to bring you just that little bit closer to convenience and luxury.

Hotel Ice Machines

Have you ever wondered about the amount of bacteria and germs that can be found in hotel ice machines?  Just think about all the hundreds of people that stick their grubby little hands in the machine trying to fill an ice bucket.  How many ice cubes do they touch and leave behind for the next person?  Just think about the amount of international guests staying at the hotel and imagine being exposed to all the pathogens from their country.  With the recent panic regarding the swine flu epidemic, wouldn’t it make sense to do away with hotel ice machines all-together?  Not to mention that you never know if the water used to produce the ice has been filtered.  Most countries that you visit on vacations or business trips do not have safe drinking water but people seldom worry about the water used to make the ice cubes in your drinks.  Ice is also used in the restaurant buffets and salad bars to keep food fresh.  This food still stands open to all sorts of environmental hazards.

There have of course been technological advancements made in hotel ice machines.  External water filters can be placed on the ice machines or newer models include an internal filter to ensure clean water is used to produce ice cubes.  The other option is an ice and water vending machine.  This allows the machine to give a certain amount of ice in a plastic bag without human hands ever coming into contact with the ice.

Many people are under the mistaken belief that because ice is cold, the temperature alone will eliminate dangerous bacteria and disease.  The truth is that many viruses and other germs are not only happy in the cold, but thrive.  Needless to say you wouldn’t want your clients to contract a disease from something in their ice cubes.

So before staying in a foreign country and using hotel ice machines make sure that the water is filtered and that some other type of precaution is being taken to eliminate anything that may be harmful to your health.  For further information on these products and services visit www.icesystems.co.za or call us on 010-590-0609.

Commercial ice machines – you could sell ice to an Eskimo.

Could you sell ice to an Eskimo?  Just imagine an Eskimo with an ice pick chipping away at an iceberg, attempting to make as many ice cubes as produced by commercial ice machines. Not only could he never produce the same amount of ice cubes as commercial ice machines do, but the ice cubes would not be uniform. Thus it might be deduced that an Eskimo would indeed have a need for such a machine.  As said machine produces ice, it would therefore follow that it would be possible to sell ice to an Eskimo.  Why would an Eskimo require so much ice? To sell back to you, of course.

Commercial ice machines are used in supermarkets, bottle stores, petrol stations and other businesses to produce ice for re-sale.  You do not have to run or own one of these businesses to sell ice. The re-sale of ice has become a viable business model. As the making of ice requires no skill and only water and electricity, you could begin your own small business selling ice from home. The initial outlay would be for a commercial ice machine, and plastic bags to package the ice in. Once you have paid for your ice machine, the water and electricity, you will be making pure profit. As ice sells at 100% of production cost, you could grow a substantial business with little trouble.

If an Eskimo could be seen to have a need for ice, then in a sunny warm country like South Africa, there must be a market for your product. Catering companies, restaurants, bars and other small grocery stores would require great amounts of ice. You could go one step further and buy deep freezers with your logo on to put in stores and garages filled with ice produced by you.  You could hire staff to produce the ice and deliver it to your respective clients. You could be a proud business owner and take full control of your finances.

You can receive your proposal to start your own small business today. For further information on purchasing commercial ice machines please visit www.icesystems.co.za or call us on 010-590-0609.
