Restaurants, pubs, clubs, bars and catering establishments which regularly serve
cold and chilled drinks cannot afford to be without a reliable commercial ice making
machine.
Ice cubes not only cool the drink but add to the overall look and presentation.
Ice Cube Machines
Ice cubes are made by allowing water to freeze into moulds which are then tipped
out by the machine.

Ice Cube Machines
Where a designer shape, ultra-clear, or harder slow-melting ice cubes are required
(preferred by many hotels, cocktail bars and high end restaurants) an ice machine
that sprays the water upwards into an upturned fast freezing ice mould should be
used. By spraying the water upwards into the mould any sediment and impurities in
the tap water escape the freezing process producing beautiful clear ice cubes will
also resist clumping together in ice buckets.
Ice Crushing Machines
Ice crusher machines take cubed ice and crush it into small chips - an essential
component of many cocktails.

Ice Dispensing Machines
Where self service is an option (eg. hotel lobbies) an ice dispenser allows your
customers to obtain ice at the push of a button and avoid contamination from touching
what they don't use - a common problem with ice buckets.

fish and seafood. The ice flakes entice the customer at point of sale.
