commercial-ice-machine-cleaning-service-repair-Kansas-City — **Regularly cleaning and sanitizing the components of your commercial ice machines are an easy and obvious way keep quality ice in your bins.**

Ice is considered by the FDA to be a food which means that every business is required to follow specific guidelines set forth to keep it clean and more importantly keep the machines that make it clean and sanitized. If you think about it, most commercial ice machines require either someone to scoop out ice by hand or activate an ice dispenser using one’s hand which is clearly why keeping your ice machines clean is imperative especially now. Capital Equipment effectively and thoroughly cleans out ice bins and the internal components that could potentially harbor mold, mildew, scale buildup and germs or diseases that could be health risk to your staff and customers.

We are service certified with most major commercial ice machine brands which means we understand the manufacturers recommended cleaning processes and practice them accordingly. Our service technicians will clean and inspect water filters, ice bins, condensers, water lines, dispensers (if applicable, evaporators and other parts and components that come in contact with water and the ice. 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

At Capital Equipment, we know that this is a very difficult time for many businesses especially in the hospitality and restaurant industry but we want you to know that we are here for all of your commercial ice needs.

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.

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. Whether your business is adding, upgrading or needing service and repair on commercial ice machines, Capital Equipment has got Kansas City covered with over 11 years of experience in the ice equipment business and a stellar reputation with our customers.

Capital Equipment is Kansas City;s commercial ice machine and ice equipment experts and routine cleaning and maintenance is a big part of what we do.

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

Most ice machines are running 25 hours a day, 7 days a week and with, in most cases, a good number of people using the ice, it can easily become contaminated. Cleaning and sanitizing your commercial ice machine regularly not only keep the overall quality of your ice par but it can also keep your ice maker running longer. Cleaning and maintenance on ice machines isn’t just for the ice bin as there are a multitude of water lines, pumps, filters, sensors and valves that will directly effect the quality of ice and Capital Equipment’s service team has seen it all.

The Kansas City area is a hard water town meaning that ordinary tap water has levels of calcium and magnesium in it which can build up quickly in ice machines particularly in filters and water lines if they aren’t changed and/or cleaned regularly. Keeping scale build up from the hard water that we have in the Kansas City is imperative to keeping your ice clean and delicious while keeping your ice equipment running smooth. When you rent ice machines from Capital Equipment, we handle all of the cleaning and maintenance on the equipment but if you own your commercial ice makers outright and you don’t have someone routinely cleaning and maintaining them then you probably need to get in touch with us. Build up of scale in water lines, water filters, and/or valves can quickly damage commercial ice machine which will likely come without warning leaving your business unexpectedly without ice. Don’t neglect cleaning and servicing your commercial ice machines and call Capital Equipment for professional service, repairs and cleaning of ice equipment in the Kansas City area at (913) 683-8972 or CLICK HERE TO CONTACT US.
