Ice plays an integral role in the foodservice, hospitality, supermarket
and healthcare industries. It cools our carbonated beverages and
bar drinks. It keeps supermarket fish and produce fresh and appetizing.
It supports hospital patient care and rehabilitation therapies.
Every facility mentioned above has at least one ice maker,
ice storage bin, or ice dispenser.
Selection strategies
Selecting the right type of ice and equipment can greatly impact
both the efficiency of day-to-day operations and the facility’s
bottom line. Because of this we have put together this “All
about Ice” guide. While it is not all-inclusive, we hope it
will help the reader select the right size and type of equipment
to best meet the needs of his/her operation. Background information
on how the equipment works, utility and sanitation considerations
and applications for this equipment in a variety of foodservice,
healthcare and hospitality segments are also included.
To select the system that will best meet
your specific needs you should:
- Select the type of ice that best meets your application needs
- Determine how much capacity you will need
- Select the type of equipment that meets your labor, sanitation,
and safety strategies
- Determine which manufacturer(s) offers the features required
- Compare price, warranty, life cycle costs and manufacturer’s
reputation to select the equipment that will give you the best
value for your needs
