Compare ice machines’ size and cost to select one for your business
Ice machines come in a large range of types and sizes. From the smaller capacity flake ice machines for your drink counter to the large block ice machines capable of producing tons of bagged ice chunks or blocks per day, you should consider the type and amount of ice you need when considering how much you need to spend when buying an ice machine.
The size, pricing and costs of ice machines varies widely based on your need, the amount of space you have to accommodate it and the amount of money you can spend. Before investing in ice machines for your business, you’ll need to consider the following:
1. Determine the type of ice – cube ice, tube ice, block, crushed ice and such – you want to serve your customers for drink consumption so you can decide which ice machine to consider.
2. Consider the amount of ice you need to produce each day to determine the type of ice making machines that could best keep up with consumer demand while still keeping in your budget.
