To keep your equipment performing efficiently and with the least amount of energy, establish a regular maintenance plan.
Mineral deposits and slime growth have a negative effect on ice production. Your machine has to work harder, and it uses more energy to produce less ice.
If your ice machine does not already have built-in antimicrobial features, consider purchasing antimicrobial sticks or pouches to put inside. Do not forget to replace these products every two to three months. The cleaner your ice machine, the more efficient it will be.
If your commercial ice machine does not have an automatic cleaning system, you need to empty it and clean it every six months to remove mineral deposits.
