What is the right ice machine for my business?
One of the most important decisions you can make when purchasing an ice machine is the style of ice you want.
Commercial ice machines produce one of three styles of ice: cubes, flakes and nuggets – each style has advantages
for different applications.
Modular ice machines require
the purchase of a seperate
storage bin, attached with a
bin top kit.
Self-contained ice machines
combine the ice machine with
a storage bin in a single unit.
