Commercial Ice Machine FAQs

What is the life expectancy of a commercial ice machine?

Just because some ice makers make bullet-shaped ice, doesn't mean they will leave a bullet-shaped hole in your wallet and stop working after a few days! Depending on the brand, water quality and ambient temperature, a commercial ice machine should last between 7-10 years of daily use.

Do ice machines use a lot of electricity?

This varies greatly depending on the ice maker you're looking to buy. However, the average cost of running an ice machine is about £20 a month. So, it's certainly not the most expensive commercial kitchen equipment to run but not the cheapest either.

If you're currently buying bags of ice, though, an ice maker can be a great investment depending on how much you're spending a week, over time, you could save a lot of money.

How often should commercial ice machines be cleaned?

Your commercial ice machine should be cleaned every six months at least. However, depending on whether you work in a hard water area, you may need to deep clean it every three months.

How much ice does a commercial ice machine make?

This depends on the machine. Manual fill ice makers, for example typically make less ice per hour because it's tricky for a person to keep up with the machine. Automatic machines, though can produce huge amounts of ice. The Foster F302 Ice Cuber, for example, can produce a massive 270kg of ice cubes per 24 hours! Other units we stock make 25kgs per 24 hours. So, no matter the size of your business, we very likely have an ice maker to suit you.
