Summer Heat and Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machine-dealer-rental-Kansas-City-MO

As the temperatures rise in the summertime, so too does the demand for ice which means your commercial ice machine(s) will be working overtime for the next few months.

Commercial Ice Machine Service and Repair in Kansas City

While there isn’t much you can do about the heat and humidity, there are some things you can do to make sure your ice is still cold and clean and more importantly your ice machines are running as efficient as possible even on the hottest of summer days.

Proper Ice Machine Maintenance:

Nothing will slow your ice machine(s) down like poor or lack of maintenance. Scale build up on evaporators or condensers will slow ice production to an absolute crawl and when combined with the heat of summer, could end up doing serious damage to the machine itself. Making sure that your commercial ice machines get regularly scheduled maintenance and cleaning will certainly help keep your ice bins full even on the hottest of days.

Ambient Room Temperature:

The higher the room temperature, the the harder your ice machine(s) will have to work to produce ice. Particularly in places like a busy restaurant kitchen, warehouses, and non-air conditioned areas, the ambient temperature of a room can heat up the water lines causing commercial ice machines to struggle or in some cases cease to make quality ice. High temperature areas also put an enormous amount of strain on compressors which could lead to costly repairs. Ideally, commercial ice machines should be put in an area that has good airflow if possible so that even if the air around it is warm, it can self cool through the air intake.

Adequate Spacing:

Most all commercial ice machines need adequate space around them to effectively self cool unless of course they are water cooled. Placing an ice machine near another appliance that generates heat will make it much more difficult to cool. Especially in restaurant kitchens where ovens and grills tend to generate an enormous amount of heat, commercial ice machines should be placed as far away from them as possible. Also making sure that the ice machines’ intake vents are cleaned regularly so that airflow is not restricted in any way will help keep ice production up.

Get Your Ice Machines Ready For Reopening

commercial-ice-machines-equipment-KC-KCMO-Kansas-City-MO

With many states ramping up to reopen businesses after weeks of lying dormant, Kansas and Missouri are doing the same in the coming days and Capital Equipment will be busy making sure commercial ice machines are cleaned, running smooth, and ready for staff and customers to return. With many businesses shut down for the last month or more, we’re finding that many of our customers had to shut their ice machines down as well which means that they will need a thorough cleaning and sanitizing treatment before the ice is safe for consumption.

Commercial Ice Machine Service, Cleaning, and Sanitizing in Kansas City and Overland Park

With local health departments more than likely to be our inspecting businesses more than usual, the last thing you need is to have yours shut down due to your ice maker so having professionals like Capital Equipment clean and sanitize your commercial ice machines guarantees that your ice won’t hold your business back from remaining open. Our service team will inspect your entire ice machine making sure that there aren’t any issues that have come up while your equipment has been shut down. The first items that need to be cleaned are the internal components of the ice machine. While many parts and components may not be visible, our services technicians know every nook and cranny of commercial ice equipment so that we can quickly and thoroughly remove, clean, and replace each component that is susceptible to contamination. We make sure that the water supply is clean which means any water lines are inspected and cleaned as well as replacing the water filter to insure clean, clear ice. Of course the ice bin will need to be drained and thoroughly cleaned as well since it is more often than not the area of commercial ice machines that is most likely to harbor dirt, mold, mildew, or other harmful germs that can greatly effect the quality of ice. Also, ice scoops will need to be cleaned and sanitized often as they come in constant contact with human hands and are often overlooked when they should be washed and replaced frequently. Lastly, the exterior of commercial ice machines need to be cleaned often as well. Especially in busy kitchens and break rooms, ice machines (in particular bin doors) are likely to have more human contact than you would think and making sure the outside of the machine is cleaned often can prevent any issues that may find their way into the ice. We only use cleaners and sanitizers that are specific to commercial ice machines and ice equipment.

At Capital Equipment, we know that getting businesses back open is absolutely essential but not having your commercial ice machines professionally cleaned and sanitized before you do so is not only risky, it’s irresponsible. Call us today at (913) 683-8972 to schedule professional cleaning and sanitizing for your commercial ice machines of CLICK HERE TO CONTACT US. Stay safe, KC!

It has never been more important than it is now to make sure your restaurant’s or business’ ice machines are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

Commercial Ice Machine Installation, Cleaning and Service in Kansas City and Overland Park

Ice is considered by the FDA to be a food which means that every business is required to follow specific guidelines set forth to keep it clean and more importantly keep the machines that make it clean and sanitized. If you think about it, most commercial ice machines require either someone to scoop out ice by hand or activate an ice dispenser using one’s hand which is clearly why keeping your ice machines clean is imperative especially now. Capital Equipment effectively and thoroughly cleans out ice bins and the internal components that could potentially harbor mold, mildew, scale buildup and germs or diseases that could be health risk to your staff and customers.

We are service certified with most major commercial ice machine brands which means we understand the manufacturers recommended cleaning processes and practice them accordingly. Our service technicians will clean and inspect water filters, ice bins, condensers, water lines, dispensers (if applicable, evaporators and other parts and components that come in contact with water and the ice. We’re also happy to provide tips to our customers on how to effectively clean the outside of the ice machines as more often than not, they come in contact with hands more than anywhere else on the equipment which can easily contaminate the ice inside. Some signs that you need to have your ice machine are:

Ice machine isn’t making any ice
Ice takes longer to make than usual
Ice has an odor
Ice machine is making incomplete cubes
Soft and/or milky looking ice
The ice machine won’t cycle to harvest mode

At Capital Equipment, we know that this is a very difficult time for many businesses especially in the hospitality and restaurant industry but we want you to know that we are here for all of your commercial ice needs.

No Hidden Fees With Our Ice Machine Rentals

buy-lease-rent-commercial-ice-machines-Kansas-City

With all of the bad news in the past few weeks the last thing restaurants and business owners need to is to be charged extra and unnecessary fees with from their commercial ice machine company. We’ve been getting quite an earful recently from many of our new customers telling us that the BIG commercial ice machines dealers are adding extra fees for cleaning, sanitizing and even changing water filters on ice equipment that is rented which makes no sense at all to us.

Commercial Ice Machines and Ice Maker Rentals in Kansas City, Overland Park and St Joseph

The fact is that keeping your commercial ice machines (and really everything in your business) clean, sanitized and safe for your staff and employees is imperative especially now. With ice machine rentals, we at Capital Equipment don’t believe that you should be charged extra fees because, well, you don’t own the equipment. Think of it this way: if you are renting an apartment or house and routine maintenance items like changing a furnaces filter, making sure heat and A/C are working, keeping mold from contaminated the living space and overall standard upkeep is the landlord’s responsibility. That’s why our ice machine rental program is a flat rate with no hidden fees or surprise costs during the course of your rental. Capital Equipment’s rental program is plain and simple: one flat monthly rate and we take care of any maintenance or repairs during your rental period. Our service technicians will make sure that we are safe and practice appropriate hygiene when we are operating in your restaurant or business and we are flexible with scheduling because we understand that we are living in very different times than we were just a few short weeks ago.

Now more than ever it is of the utmost importance to make sure businesses are routinely cleaned and safe for both employees and potential customers and Capital Equipment makes it easy for business owners to make sure their ice machines are clean, running smooth and producing much needed ice in Kansas City. We’ll be open and ready to help Kansas City area businesses with all of their ice needs.
