Nugget ice machines come in two basic configurations, modular and remote. Choosing between the two depends on the specific production capacity of each business. Operations with stable or controlled building temperature will want a modular machine. Those that need several thousands of pounds of ice every day will need a machine with remote condenser.

Nugget ice machines with modular units combine the condenser and maker in one unit; the bin still has to be purchased separately. Modular units can make up to 1,000 pounds of ice a day. The smallest remote condensers make around 600 pounds of ice a day and can go up to several thousand pounds. Hotels, cafeterias or other large foodservice establishments may want to consider a nugget ice machine with remote condenser.

Building temperature control is another factor when choosing between modular and remote machines. Modular machines blow hot air out into the building, so the temperature needs to be controlled, especially during the summer months. If the temperature around the machine gets too hot, production capacity will suffer. Also, it can make the surrounding environment uncomfortable for customers and employees. Remote machines decrease both internal building heat and noise. Since the fan is outdoors and that is where all of the excess heat goes as well.
