countertop-ice-dispensers-Kansas-City-MO-Overland-Park-KS

For many businesses, ice is an absolute necessity and while things have certainly changed since the onset of COVID-19 earlier this year, the demand for ice and ice machines has not changed.

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

At Capital Equipment, we have been helping Kansas City area businesses get through these past few months by providing even more cleaning, maintenance and sanitizing of commercial ice machines and ice equipment while also helping them replace, upgrade and/or add new ice machines for their customers and staff.

Ice Machines For Offices in Kansas City

Many offices are slowly starting to reopen and the need for providing ice and quality drinking water is increasing. At Capital Equipment, our representatives consult directly with business owners and office managers to determine what the best options are as it pertains to installing and maintaining ice machines and/or ice and water combo machines. We want to gain in understanding of how many people on average are in the office, how many days a week is that office open and are there any changes in the number of personal on the horizon so that we can make recommendation on commercial ice machines that can adjust for company growth.

Commercial Ice Machines For Hospitals

Because ice is essential in the health care industry for uses such as reducing swelling or even keeping patients hydrated it goes without saying that hospitals cannot go without it. Capital Equipment works with many hospitals and health car facilities to help make sure their patients and staff have ice when they need it most. We also understand that any commercial ice machines in a health care environment will need to be cleaned and maintained regularly in order to maintain a hospitals’ strict hygiene status and our service department customizes our maintenance schedules and procedures to align with the health care facilities’ guidelines we work with we work with.

Commercial Ice Machines For Hotels

Just like most businesses that were shut down earlier this year due to COVID-19, hotels are slowly beginning to reopen and welcome back guests in the Kansas City area which means ice machines will be in high demand. The difference with hotel ice machines is that often times get more use depending on the number guests staying overnight which means they need to be ready to dispense an enormous amount of ice on any given day. Capital Equipment works directly with hotel managers to determine the most efficient commercial ice machines to install for their guest to make sure that their ice bins are never empty even on the busiest of nights. We also provide routine maintenance and cleaning as ice machines are a highly touched area in a hotels and in the age of COVID-19 need to be cleaned and sanitized more regularly.

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.

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

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.

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

Most ice machines are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and not keeping them properly maintained is a sure way to have poor quality ice. Changing water filters and routine cleaning is a big part of that and Capital Equipment is ready to help you do just that. With commercial ice machine service professionals that have years of experience working on every make and model of ice maker, we have the knowledge and experience to make sure your ice equipment will be running smooth and your ice is clean and clear. We can help clean, sanitize and provide routine water filter changes to ensure your ice is crystal clear, clean and most importantly delicious for your customers and/or staff.

Waiting until your commercial ice machine is too dirty to make clean ice or simply does not work due to poor maintenance can cost your business, your reputation and customers. Let the ice experts in Kansas City at Capital Equipment keep your ice machines running smooth with routine maintenance and service that is truly second to none.
