Be it summers or winters, ice machine is something that is required all year in pharmaceutical industry, hotel management and hospitality, and hospitals. Ice machines are easy to install and require a water resource and drainage. Ice machine repair service is also excellent and prompt at "Unifrost Food Service Equipment".

How to choose the best ice maker for your need:

  • Size: The size of the ice plays an important role when it comes to installing an ice machine. There are portable ice machines available that can be installed on the counter-top. They produce smaller ice flakes. If the requirement is for larger ones, ice machines that are for commercial use solve the purpose. Apart from that if large storage capacity is required, or your restaurant is serving to large number of people a commercial ice machine should be installed.
  • Space: Space has to be an important part of consideration since commercial ice machines need a lot of space post installation. The space has to be near a drainage so that the water unused can be drained out. Water resource should also be near so that the water could be easily run there. If not, a counter-top ice machine should be installed. But with counter top machines, the unit has to be filled manually and quickly emptied as well for the next set of ice batch.
  • Speed: If the requirement for ice is quick and in huge quantity, a commercial ice machine should work. This can be estimated on how much quantity of ice is actually required per day. But if the quantity is not very high, counter top would work just fine.
  • Shape of Ice: Believe it or not, shape of the ice flake plays an important role as well. It does not really matter if it’s for the pharmaceutical industry because the main purpose there is to keep the drugs and its components cool. But for hotels and restaurants, the demand varies. The shape varies from circle to cresecent shape, half cubes to nugget shapes and flake shape.

Types of ice machines:

There are 3 different types of ice machines available in the market today. Depending on the cost, requirement and space following can be installed:

  • Counter top- If easy installation is the main criteria and the quantity requirement is low, counter top works just fine. This is usually installed in resorts in large quantities where the customers themselves are required to refill the ice for their drinks. They are easy to use and easy maintenance products as well.
  • Under-counter- Under counter machines are best if the installation is permanent. Water line is also constructed with under counter machines. Usually restaurants use this type of machine.
  • Commercial grade machines- Pharmaceutical industries rely on commercial grade machines. They have an existing water line and drainage system. These machines work on plug points. The cost and space requirement is high.

Unifrost also provides Ice machine repair service along with sale of ice machines. The service is quick and prompt, along with detailed examination of the equipment.
