Service, Repair, and Maintenance For Commercial Ice Machines in Kansas City

Warehouses, particularly those that deal in retail distribution, can sometimes run 24 hours a day during the holidays, which also means that demand for ice increases dramatically compared to the rest of the year. Hotels see an influx of holiday travelers from all corners of the county to see friends and family, which means that hotel ice dispensers will be working overtime and in heavy use. Unfortunately, hospitals and health care facilities are seeing an influx in traffic again this year, and ice is used in various ways to reduce fever, swelling and keep medical staff and patients hydrated.

Common Questions About Ice Machines

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

Not everyone is an ice machine experts and at Capital Equipment, we get it, which is why we put together some of the most common questions we get from our customers about ice and ice equipment.

Commercial Ice Machines in Kansas City, Overland Park, and Shawnee, KS

For years, Capital Equipment has been the greater Kansas City area’s commercial ice machine experts and our goal is and always has been to help educate our customers to make sure that they have the right ice equipment for their businesses.

What are the best commercial ice machines?

There are quite literally hundreds of ice machine manufacturers with new ones popping up each year but the problem is that many of them aren’t built for the long haul and when you have an obscure brand, replacement parts can be hard to come by. At Capital Equipment, we recommend well known and well established commercial ice machine brands that have a proven history of being reliable and for making the highest quality ice. Capital Equipment recommends Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Manitowoc, and Ice-O-Matic ice machines as they have proved to be durable and reliable for years for all types of businesses.

How often should ice machines be cleaned and sanitized?

Many commercial ice machine manufacturers have different recommendations but overall a good rule of thumb would be about every 3 months. However, larger ice machines that see more individuals using them and thousands of pounds of ice produced may need to be cleaned more frequently. Particularly with COVID-19 continuing to spread, cleaning and sanitizing commercial ice machines should be much more frequently especially if a large number of people are coming in contact with the equipment. Also, when a boil order is issued for the city where your business is located it’s generally a good idea to clean and sanitize your commercial ice machines as well as change the water filter.

How often should the water filter be changed on a commercial ice machine?

As stated above, it is highly recommended that water filters be changed immediately if a boil order has been issued in your area but under normal circumstances most commercial ice machine manufacturers recommend every six months but equipment that is in heavily use may require more frequent changeouts. It’s best to make sure that water filters are changed out on a predetermined schedule to ensure quality, clean ice otherwise it may begin to taste funny which is not good for any business.

The commercial ice machine experts at Capital Equipment are always happy to answer any questions you have about which equipment will work best for your business and we can help make sure your current ice machine(s) are running smooth and your ice bins are always full of clean, clear ice.

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.

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 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 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.
