Follett ice and water dispensers are available in a wide range of capacities and dimensions. Following are guidelines to help you determine which size would best meet your needs:

• Ice required per serving will equal the size of average cup in oz (or ml) x .40. Therefore, someone filling a 12 oz cup would, on average, use about 5 oz of ice.
• Follett's icemaker will recover at about 16 lbs (7.3kg) per hour, assuming that the bin is not full and is signalling for more ice.
• Depending on water temperatures, Follett's chilled water option can require up to 40% more ice per day than dispensers without the chilled water option.
• Add 20% to the ice required to accommodate changed usage patterns or growth.
• For our sizing models, we assume that 75% of employees will use the ice and water dispenser an average of 4 times per day. Therefore, for a floor with 50 employees, using 16 oz cups, about 60 lbs of ice per day will be used.
  
  A general rule of thumb:
  Number of Employees
• Up to 50 employees - 12 Series
• 50 to 100 employees - 25 Series
• 100 to 200 employees - 50 Series
• 200 to 350 employees - 110 Series

Remember, these are guidelines only. Different usage patterns and other ice uses can affect the size of equipment needed.
