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.

Scotsman-commercial-ice-machine-Kansas-City

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.

Boil Orders and Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning

We’ve all likely heard at one point or another about boil orders or boil advisories announced from our local health or water departments. But what exactly are they and what do businesses need to do to make sure their commercial ice machines aren’t making contaminated ice? Well, in simple terms, a boil order is typically issued when something has contaminated (or has potentially contaminated) a water line or water supply which could make anyone who ingests it sick.

Commercial Ice Machine Installation and Services in Kansas City

A boil order could be the result of a water line break or something more serious like a chemical spill or a natural disaster making the water (and anything made with it) unfit for human consumption. For businesses (and even homeowners) that use tap water for their ice maker, a boil order’s contaminated water can easily go overlooked when in reality there are steps that need to be taken before the ice equipment can be used safely again. That goes for commercial ice machines as well which means that if a boil order has been issued in your area and you have an active ice maker, the water filter(s) will need to be removed and replaced immediately before being used again. But it doesn’t end at just changing the water filters on ice machines because, depending on when the boil order was issued, contaminated water may have already been used to make ice or could still be trapped in the water lines.

This means that any ice already in the bin is a potential danger and any water between the filter and the ice machine needs to be cleared before it can be deemed safe for employees and customers. Capital Equipment’s service technicians can professionally clean and sanitize your entire ice machine including the water lines while replacing the filter in the event of a boil order in your area. At Capital Equipment, we help Kansas City area business owners with all of their commercial ice machine and ice equipment needs and water filters and routine cleaning and maintenance are a big part of the services we provide. With over 12 years of experience in the commercial ice equipment industry, our service technicians have pretty much seen it all and know exactly what to do when a boil order effects your area and how to more importantly get your making clean, safe ice. When a boil order does occur in your area or you need any type of service or cleaning for your commercial ice equipment, call Capital Equipment at (913) 683-8972 for professional, knowledgeable ice machine experts that provide a truly personalized service to business owners and businesses.

Why Do Ice Machines Need Water Filters?

For areas like the greater Kansas City metro that, for the most part, have hard water, it is imperative to have effective water filters and have them changed regularly to ensure clean, quality ice. Anytime that water tastes funny or has particles, minerals and sediment in it, they will most certainly end up in the ice which effects the look, taste and overall quality but not when you have an effective filter system.

Commercial Ice Machine Service and Water Filter Replacement In Kansas City

At Capital Equipment, we help Kansas City area restaurants, hotels, hospitals, offices and a multitude of businesses with every aspect of commercial ice machines and water filtration is a big part of making sure that ice is clean, clear, and most of all delicious. In simple terms, filters process the water that is being fed into your ice machines removing chlorine, particulates, and other unwanted substances that will leave your ice looking cloudy, dirty and otherwise tasting odd. In other words, ice machine filters remove everything that you don’t want being seen or tasted in ice. Filters also remove scale which is abundant in hard water which happens to be what we have in the greater Kansas City area. Scale can not only effect the quality of ice but can also effect the efficiency and functionality of an ice machines’ internal components which can result in costly repairs or complete equipment replacement in some cases.

replace-water-filter-commercial-ice-machine-Kansas-City — Scale build up not only makes ice look and taste funny but it can also put an enormous amount of stress on your ice machines’s internal parts.

Scale build up doesn’t typically happen overnight which means that getting ahead of it with a water softener and routine filter changes will help you avoid any downtime for you commercial ice machine(s). Each ice machine tends to have a different size water filter which is relative to the size of the machine and obviously the amount ice it produces which is in direct correlation to the amount of water that will be needed to make the ice. In terms how often a water filter will need to be changed on a commercial ice machine, it depends on the model and how much ice is being made but the ice equipment experts at Capital Equipment can help set up routine service intervals to make sure your ice is always flawlessly clear and clean. You’ll likely never hear how great your ice tastes because, let’s face it, we tend to take it for granted.

How Commercial Ice Machines Work

ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning-maintenance

Everyone know that ice forms when you have water and temperatures at or below freezing but have you ever thought about how ice machines actually work? At Capital Equipment, all we do is service and sales for commercial ice machines in the greater Kansas City area and each day we use our knowledge of how ice equipment actually produces ice to help our customers keep their ice bins full.

Commercial Ice Machines and Ice Equipment in Kansas City and Overland Park

Put simply, there are three main components needed for a commercial ice machine to work:

A Refrigeration System
A Water Supply
A Way To Collect the Ice

That seems simple but ice machines are far from it. While there are a variety of different types of ice machines, we’ll focus on one of the most common which is a metal ice cube tray. The ice tray is connected to a series of coiled heat-exchanging pipes which are similar to what you would see on the back of your home refrigerator. A compressor pushes a refrigerant fluid through these pipes where they will narrow (condense) and then flow into a wider tube (evaporator) where the liquid will expand. When refrigerant is compressed, it raises it’s pressure which also will raise it’s temperature and is it goes through the more narrow coils it will lose its heat and condense into a liquid. Now that the compressed liquid passes through expansion valve , it will evaporate and become a gas which attracts heat from the surrounding pipes and the air around the refrigerant which, in turn, cools the pipes and the ice tray.

Water is then brought in from a filter and a pump gradually so that it is frozen layer by layer which creates the clear ice that you often see in restaurants and hotels. If you’re ice is white, cloudy and has a milky look, then there’s obviously a problem and you need to call us. There are a variety of ways the ice is then removed from the tray and into the bin but in most cases it gets a little nudge or the ice tray is has a downward angle so the cubes slide out on their own.

There are countless more components that enable commercial ice machines to, well, make ice and Capital Equipment’s service and repair team knows how to narrow down what’s ailing your equipment quickly and efficiently. We buy all of our parts in bulk so that it saves our customer money because we know which parts are more likely to fail and we make certain that we have them on hand at all times.
