Do I Need a Commercial Ice Machine?

Commercial ice machines can produce and sometimes even store ice for commercial kitchens. They differ from traditional ice machines in speed and capacity; they're designed to produce more ice, and fast.

Whether you own a restaurant, cafe or cafeteria, you're likely to need a commercial ice machine. "Purchasing the right unit ensures you have the right type of ice for your operation, and never run out of ice during business hours," advises Food Service Warehouse.

There are lots of options to choose from. Some ice machines create a full cube, while others generate flakes, which are ideal for displays. Other variations include:

• Half cubes
• Nugget ice
• Cubers
• Cublets
• Gourmet ice
• Crescent ice
• Octagonal ice
