Are Your Ice Machines Ready For Spring and Summer?

office-hotel-ice-machines-makers-dispensers-Kansas-City

We’ve already gotten a little taste of spring in the past few weeks in the Kansas City area, but if previous years are any indicator, we’ve still got a few more rounds of winter left and today is a perfect example. However, it goes without saying that summer and, more importantly, hot and humid days are on the way and quality ice is in even higher demand. Not to mention that things are finally getting back to some semblance of normal, and people are actually going back to work in person.

Commercial Ice Machine Sales, Rental, Repair, and Service in the Kansas City Area

The problem is that heat and humidity can be hard on commercial ice machines. When water lines become too warm to produce ice efficiently, the ice machines end up working harder than necessary to freeze and harvest ice which can end up in costly repairs that can easily be avoided with proper installation and adequate ventilation. At Capital Equipment, our installers and service technicians understand that the summer heat and ambient air temperatures can reduce the overall quality of ice and quite possibly cause commercial ice machines to need repair or outright replacement. That’s why we take into account all seasons and all scenarios when installing ice equipment for our customers because, more often than not, we’re fixing a problem created by another commercial ice machine company that quite honestly didn’t know what they were doing.

Service and Repair For Ice Machines During The Holidays

ice-machine-KC-KCMO-Kansas-City-sales-rentals-St-Joseph

The holiday rush means different things to different people. For example, consumers tend to flock to malls and department stores to find the perfect holiday gift, whereas business owners often hire seasonal workers and extend shifts to keep up with demand.

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

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.

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

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?

commercial-ice-machine-cleaning-service-repair-Kansas-City

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?

ice-machine-water-filter-filters

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.

A Brief History Of Ice Machines

ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning-maintenance

commercial-ice-machine-dealer-rental-Kansas-City-MO

While ice makers and commercial ice machines may seem more like a modern convenience because they are common in nearly every home, office, restaurant and business today, they have actually been around for quite a while. Of course there have been huge leaps in technology to help produce cleaner and higher quality ice more quickly at the push of a button but the principle mechanics for ice makers remains pretty much the same as when they were invented. Here’s a quick history on the origin of the ice machines as we know them today.

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

commercial-ice-machine-service-repairs

The use of ice itself by humans has been around since the beginning of time but was first recorded as far back as 400 BC when ancient Egyptians would use clay pots filled with water to be left out overnight in the cold to freeze and then stored underground to keep it preserved. In other parts of the world, ice could be harvested from frozen lakes and rivers as any kid that has seen the movie Frozen can tell you. But it wasn’t until the 1840’s when a New England man named Fredric Tudor began to not only harvest ice on a mass scale but also found ways to effectively ship it without it melting which, as you might expect, created a huge demand for ice on a global scale. Refrigeration had already been invented in 1834 by Jacob Perkins who was the first to patent a refrigerator as we know them today using ether in a vapor compression cycle. But an American doctor named John Gorrie was the first to truly produce a refrigerator or cooling device as we know them today in 1844 in an effort to help keep his patients cool from fevers but he opted to introduce it to public by offering chilled wine at a Bastille Day festival offering cold beverages to festival goers on a hot July day.  While the ether powered refrigerator invented by Gorrie and Perkins would later be found to be a danger especially when ether would leak out, two inventors named Charles Franklin Kettering and Thomas Midgely, Jr. discovered Freon in 1928 which would still use Gorrie’s principle of condensing, throttling, and evaporating air but in a much safer way. Many more technological advancements would be made after the foundation for refrigeration and ice making were laid and you’d be hard pressed to not go anywhere without seeing coolers, freezers, or ice machines using the same methods and principles in the modern world today.
