Commercial Ice Machine Basics
Hospitals, nightclubs, restaurants and bars are the major customers for commercial ice machines to produce ice for consumption, as well as preservation purposes. An ice machine consists of a refrigeration system, a water supply and a collection bin. The ice machine can either be air cooled or water cooled. Air-cooled ice machines use air to disperse the heat, whereas a water-cooled ice machine uses water to get the desired result.
In the Dallas/Fort Worth area, American Ice Machines provide sales, service and leasing of ice machines, and a quick visit to their impressive showroom will give you a better idea of the breadth of products and services they offer. One should be extremely cautious before buying an ice machine online, and it is advised to see in person what you are buying to make sure you are getting a machine that fits your needs and is fully functional. For a commercial enterprise, even one day with a broken ice machine can cause a large amount of money to be lost. If you have purchased your machine from outside the Dallas area then chances are you will have to wait more than two days before the company sends their specialist to repair your ice machine. The longer the delay in getting your ice machine repaired, the more money you lose.
The good news is that 90 percent of the time you will not need a specialist to do the ice machine repair work for you – a good cleaning will often solve the problem. We suggest you to inspect your ice machine thoroughly before calling for help because it could save you both time and money if it can be fixed without the assistance of a specialist.
