Frequently Asked Questions: Ice Machine

Is it worth it to get an ice maker?

If you’re serving cold beverages to customers all day, you should have a good ice maker. Hotels use ice makers to ensure every guest has access to ice for their rooms. Restaurants and other food service businesses use ice machines to serve ice-cold drinks to every customer. If you need a lot of ice to keep your business running, a commercial ice maker is a key part of your restaurant equipment. You can even choose between different types of ice makers to offer the best experience based on the types of beverages you’re serving.

How much ice can an ice maker produce?

Like other restaurant supplies and equipment, ice machines come in different sizes with varying capabilities. Most commercial ice makers are rated in pounds of ice per day, and ice production can vary a lot. If you’re looking for a smaller ice maker to fit in a compact space, you can find ice makers that produce as little as 65 pounds of ice per day. For hotels and other large hospitality businesses, Sam’s Club has commercial ice makers that can produce more than 600 pounds of ice per day. Whether you’re shopping for an ice machine or commercial refrigerators, you should start by assessing your needs.

Do you offer ice machines for commercial and residential use?

Sam’s Club offers a selection of appliances and kitchenware for both residential and commercial Members. Just like you can find residential and commercial freezers, Sam’s Club has ice makers for both commercial and residential use.

The biggest difference between commercial and residential ice makers is ice production. Some commercial restaurant equipment can even be used at home if you’ve got enough space and the proper power supply. Whether you’re looking for refrigerated display cases for your food cart or restaurant or a smaller ice maker for your home, Sam’s Club has you covered.

How can I clean and maintain my ice maker?

Just like your restaurant cookware, your ice maker needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it working and prevent bacteria. Start by removing all the ice and cleaning the outside of your ice maker to remove any dirt and grime. Add your ice machine cleaner and start the cleaning cycle, then drain the ice maker. You can repeat the cleaning cycle to remove any cleaning solution that may still be in the ice maker. If you have any problems with your commercial ice maker, you can have it serviced by an expert. Your ice maker should be cleaned at least once every six months, although you may need to clean it as often as every 3 months, depending on usage.
