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.
