Your Summer Ice Specialists In Kansas City

Summer and cold drinks go hand in hand (no pun intended) but heat and humidity can be tough on commercial ice machines especially when they aren’t professionally installed or the manufacturer of the equipment is sub-par. Ambient air temperatures are something that we at Capital Equipment always have to consider when we deliver and install ice machines and ice equipment for our customers because high temperatures (like we see in the summer months in the Kansas City area) can greatly affect the quality of ice and not to mention put unnecessary stress on your ice machine(s).

Commercial Ice Machine Service, Sales, and Rentals in Kansas City, St Joseph, and Lawrence

Proper airflow near water lines is essential to keeping the commercial ice machines producing ice at an optimal rate. If there is other equipment that puts off heat or the room temperature is above 70 degrees, it could impact not only the time it takes to make ice but also the quality. When Capital Equipment installs ice machines for our customers, we look at every environmental factor to ensure that airflow and air temperatures won’t hinder the equipment’s ice-making abilities. We make sure that the water filters we install are also placed where they won’t be heated up by other equipment giving off heat or the ice machines we are installing.

Speaking of water filters, making sure that our technicians install the correct size and brand of filter for your brand of machine is something we never cut corners on. We keep an eye out throughout the metro area for any boil orders and let our customers know that they need to change them out to ensure that clean water is entering their ice machines and quality ice is in their bins. Just like every summer in Kansas City, ice will be in high demand and with the heat and humidity we’re sure to see, it can hard on your commercial ice machine(s).

If your business is currently closed down and you aren’t using your ice machine(s), be sure to drain any water out and turn them off.

Ice Machines For Office Big and Small

Scotsman-commercial-ice-machine-Kansas-City

When most people think about commercial ice machines, they tend to imagine huge, bulky ice equipment that make hundreds of pounds of ice per day. Well, that’s sort of accurate in that there are ice machines that can make enormous amounts of ice but for small businesses (especially for offices) there are also options to have quality ice equipment that is much more compact. At Capital Equipment, we work with businesses big and small in the Kansas City area to help our customers get the ice equipment they want that also suits their needs and as their ice needs change, we help them upgrade their equipment as well.

Office Ice Machines in Kansas City, Overland Park and Lenexa

While we work with countless restaurants and bars in the KC metro, we’ve noticed a trend of small to medium sized offices wanting commercial grade ice machines for their employees and customers as well. From ice/water combination machines to larger ice bins for companies with hundreds of employees, Capital Equipment takes the time to analyze exactly which type and size of ice machine offices and businesses need as well as install and maintain it. We take into account factors such as how many employees there are, whether the work physical which may increase ice and water usage, and how big the work area is in that for larger workplace areas like warehouses might require multiple ice machines.

We offer a variety of options for businesses to acquire quality ice machines including rental programs, leasing and of course outright purchasing as well. Unlike the larger, national commercial ice machine companies that send out pushy sales representatives that just want to make a sale as quick as they can, we consult with the businesses and business owners we work with to understand their ice needs and make our recommendations accordingly. Our ice machine installers will make sure that we schedule installation so as not to disrupt business and we handle everything from installing water lines to complete calibration and set up of the ice equipment.

Different Types of Commercial Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machines-ice-makers-KC-KCMO-Kansas-City

There are literally hundreds of different commercial ice machines models available on the market today and finding the right one for your business can be a bit confusing. Depending on how much ice your business actually needs or uses in one day is the primary factor that determines which type of ice machine will suit you best.

Commercial Ice Machine Sales, Service and Rentals in Kansas City and Overland Park

At Capital Equipment, we don’t just provide sales and service for commercial ice equipment but instead we consult with businesses and business owners to determine which ice machine will fit their needs and their budget as well. There are 4 primary types of ice machines and each produces different amounts of ice and different functions however each does require a water supply, water filters and professional installation which Capital Equipment provides.

Modular/Head Ice Machines

For businesses that use enormous amounts of ice, a modular/head unit is the right choice for commercial ice machines. They can easily produce up to 1000 lbs. or more of ice per day but they do need a separate storage bit for the ice below. Modular/head unit ice machines are ideal for high volume bars/restaurants as they can be integrated with soda dispensers and are also used in many warehouses and large offices.

Under-counter Ice Machines

Under-counter ice machines are often seen in businesses like bars and coffee shops as they are space efficient and are an “all-in-one” solution as they include the ice machine maker as well as storage bin in one unit. There are a variety of sizes of under-counter ice machines but most are made to fit under a 40 inch counter. One of the main advantages of an under-counter ice machine is that it easily accessible when serving customers from a bar or counter.

Counter-top Ice Machines

The health care profession uses an immense amount of ice and counter top ice machines are ideal for their industry. The ease of access and ability to make hundreds of pounds of ice per day while taking up little space when compared to larger modular/head unit ice machines make for an efficient way access ice for patients and staff. Plus, the internal ice bins keeps the ice clean and sanitized provided they have routine maintenance and cleaning which is mandatory for the health care industry.

Ice/Water Dispenser Combos

For small to medium sized offices of businesses, an ice/water combination dispenser is ideal. The water filters not only insures that the ice is clean and clear but also remove the “tap water” taste making employees more likely to stay hydrated which is proven to improve health and productivity.

No matter which type of ice machines your business needs, Capital Equipment helps Kansas City area businesses buy, rent and lease them along with provide professional service and repair.
