The Leading Industrial Ice Machine

It’s a simple fact that not all ice machines were created equal. In fact, very few ice machines are the same in terms of function or quality. If your business are in need of an industrial ice machine, then you don’t want a mini one or a machine that will let you down when you need it the most, costing you dearly. Quality, reliability, strength – these are all important factors your chosen ice machine should be. Basically what you want is a hardcore ice machine. Of course there are a number of considerations you need to take into account.

The main issue at stake is, firstly, deciding if you do indeed need an industrial ice machine. You may be among those who read this article and don’t even need to think about it – your requirements make the choice too obvious. If you’re still sitting on the fence trying to decide though, then consider a few things:

• How often will you need to make use of the ice?
• What quantity of ice do you need at a time?
• How long can you afford to wait while the machine is busy making more ice?
• How important is the ice to your operations?

As you come up with the answers your choice should start to become clear. For all those who are now in the market for an industrial ice machine you need to make sure you select the best product on the market. Industrial ice requirements cannot afford to have a machine that might let them down in terms of either reliability or the quality (time taken to produce ice, quantity of ice produced at one time, etc).

They are a leading brand worldwide and will certainly ensure that you have a machine that will be a “workhorse” you can count on.

The Commercial Ice Machine

There was a time period known as the Ice Age. There was a movie called Ice Age. There is the reality we live in of an “ice-demand” age. The Ice Age period is ancient history and the movie has two sequels, but the demand on businesses to provide their customers with cold or fresh products is still present. A commercial ice machine is therefore the perfect answer to your business’ need for the wonder of frozen water. Whatever your particular business’ need for ice is, or even if you simply want it for home use, you know that depending on either an ice delivery or an employee’s mad dash to the nearest garage is not good enough.

A commercial ice machine can offer you many benefits. You might think that all an ice machine does is stand in some random corner noisily chugging out blocks of frozen water, but with modern technology that reality is as outdated as the Ice Age. Modern ice machines come in a tremendous range of sizes and capacities. A commercial ice machine can easily be built into a cupboard or a bar counter while being aesthetically pleasing and operating quietly at the same time.

Ice machines nowadays also offer various types of ice production. Your business or home needs can be met with gourmet ice, super dice, or contour ice. These variants of the traditional “dice” ice cube each have their unique qualities that will suit a number of different applications; also available is either flake or scale ice. These natural forms of ice suit themselves to another set of uses that the traditional cube may not be optimal for. Among these are keeping meats, especially fish, fresh to transport or display. The end result is that the modern ice machine has a lot more to offer that you might imagine.

Should you be in search of a quality, reliable commercial ice machine and would like to know more about all the exciting new innovations, then seek the advice of world-leading expertise. Please feel free to contact Ice Systems for more info.

Addressing Ice Dispenser Problems

Provided that you have ice dispenser problems with a Scotsman or Icematic icemaker, you can simply view our technical support page for downloadable specifications of every model. This will make it easy to order the particular part.

As a rule of thumb, when trying to assess the cause of ice dispenser problems, you should first listen to the sound produced. If the machine makes a noise, it most probably is a mechanical problem in the ice bin, housing or ice shoot.

Whenever the ice dispenser problems relate to low production capacity, check the water supply and scale build-up. Also assess the airflow around the machine as too little airflow will make it difficult for the machine to keep cool and produce enough ice.

We are not only a leading supplier of Scotsman icemakers in South Africa, but also a major supplier of parts on their various models. In addition, we offer expert repair services at our 300 square metre workshop in Boksburg. Fault identification is made easier through diagnostic testing done at the workshop.

We offer a warranty of six months on replacement parts regarding Scotsman machines and the labour thereof. Ice dispenser problems can be fixed quickly ensuring that your machine can be back to full production and dispensing as soon as possible.

To prevent ice dispenser problems we recommend once annual servicing. As part of our servicing we remove scale and bacterial as well as rust build-up through a special Scotsman solution.
