Commercial Ice Machines Sales, Leasing and Rentals in Kansas City, Overland Park, and Shawnee

Whether you need a new ice machine and water dispenser combo for your office or you need commercial ice machine for hundreds of employees in a warehouse of office building, Capital Equipment can help with access to the entire line of ice maker models from the most reputable names in ice equipment like Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic, Manitowoc, and Scotsman. Unlike the big ice equipment dealers in the Kansas City area that send out pushy salesmen that care more about their commission than helping out the businesses they partner with, Capital Equipment sends non-commissioned consultants to make sure that we deliver an ice machine that will meet and be able to adjust to your needs as your business changes. We are licensed and insured so that in the event that something should go wrong during the installation of your commercial ice machine(s), which is rare, you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of. We sell ice machines outright but most of our customers choose to lease or rent their equipment from us because it is a) more affordable for businesses on a budget and b) in the case of our rental program, all service, maintenance, and cleaning is included in one monthly fee.

Many of the larger, national commercial ice equipment dealers have astronomically higher overhead than Capital Equipment and that means they will nickle and dime their customers for something that should be taken care of in a lease or rental agreement like changing water filter yet it costs businesses more money when they partner with them. With Capital Equipment, there are no games, gimmicks, or surprises when you work with us to replace or upgrade your commercial ice equipment. We are upfront and honest regarding pricing on the ice machines we provide as well as the costs for service, repairs, maintenance and cleaning.

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

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.

What Makes Good Ice?

Not much attention gets paid to ice unless it a) tastes funny, b) looks funny, or c) a combination of both which is never good. The reasons for poor quality ice can be endless as there are so many factors that go into the process of making ice. At Capital Equipment, we pride ourselves on being the partner to hundreds of Kansas City businesses for commercial ice machine sales, rentals, repair, and service as well as ice supply and delivery in the metro and while we can’t provide one ultimate reason for bad ice, we can certainly explain how to make it always taste and look its best.

Commercial Ice Machines in Kansas City and Overland Park

The first step in quality ice is the ice machine itself. It seems simple but the fact is that there are so many commercial ice machine manufactures on the market that the average business owner won’t know that they are getting less than stellar ice equipment until it’s far too late. At Capital Equipment, we’ve seen many ice machine brands come and go and we’ve narrowed down the manufacturers we would recommend to just 4: Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic and Scotsman.

These brands have a stellar reputation for durability and performance that eclipses all of the “off-brands” that many commercial equipment dealers offer. Plus, Capital Equipment regularly keeps the most common parts for these brands of machines in stock so that when our customers need them, they don’t have to wait.

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.
