Has the time come when you need to purchase one of the many developed ice makers in the industry? If so, how do you know which one to choose and why? What are a couple important considerations to think about when choosing between ice makers?
• What amount of ice do you need your unit to produce on a daily basis? If you have a small business and won’t use much ice, then you won’t need as large of a unit as larger businesses that produce a large amount of ice for a large number of customers within one day.
• What type of ice do you want to create – crushed, flaked, or cubed? This is important as different models make various types of ice, while some will allow you to make two of the three or maybe all three.
