Things to keep in mind when selecting a modular ice machine:
- Availability of parts and support: look for recognized brands with local part and technical support. At Rodway Supply, we only sell top brands with a long history of excellent parts and technical support.
- Amount of ice: Modular ice makers are designed to make from 300lbs/day to 2,000+ lbs/day. Make sure when selecting an ice machine you have enough prodcution to ensure you never run out.
- Type of ice: Modular ice machines are designed to make different types of ice. Choose from: full cubes, half cube, crescent, gourmet, square, nuggett, or flake. Each type is designed to fullfill a different purpose. Let us explain what ice type you will benefit from the most.
- Cooling: Most modern ice makers are self contained and air cooled. Air cooling is the simplest to install and most cost effective to operate. However, some applications can require remote or water cooling instead. Regardless of your need, we have a solution waiting.
- Bin size and style: All modular ice makers require a seperate bin. Some applications need simple standard bins. Others require additional features. Hotels typically require dispensing bins. These are also called “sanitary bins” because they do not allow users to contact the ice. Some larger bins incorporate windows to view the ice level. Other bins feature switches and sensors that are integrated with the ice maker. Common ice bin widths are 22″, 30″, and 48″. While there are some exceptions, most modular ice makers fit into one of those three size categories.
- Cleaning: Every ice machine requires regular cleaning. Make sure you select an ice machine that is easy to clean. Extra hours to clean an ice machine can add up to thousands of unnecessary spending over the life cycle of and ice machine.
- Filtration: Optional filtration can help reduce scale and particles from entering your ice machine. They can help lower maintence costs and extend the life of the ice machine. Some manufacturers offer extended warranty with the purchase of filter systems. These are important final considerations when installing an ice machine.
