Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Two Basic Types of Ice Makers?

The two basic types of ice makers are modular ice machines and self-contained ice machines.

• Modular Ice Machines are larger and typically sit on top of ice bins or dispensers, designed for high ice production in commercial settings.
• Self-Contained Ice Machines include both the ice-making unit and storage bin in one compact unit, ideal for smaller spaces or businesses with lower ice needs.

What Size Are Commercial Ice Makers?

Commercial ice makers come in various sizes, typically ranging from 22 inches to 48 inches wide, depending on capacity. Their height and depth also vary, but modular units tend to be larger to produce high volumes of ice, while under-counter units are more compact. Production capacity can range from 50 pounds to over 1,000 pounds of ice per day, depending on the model.

Are Commercial Ice Machines Profitable?

Yes, commercial ice machines can be profitable, especially in locations with high demand like restaurants, hotels, convenience stores, and event venues. Once the initial investment and running costs are covered, selling bagged ice or offering ice vending services can provide a steady stream of income. Profitability depends on factors like location, machine efficiency, and operating costs.
