Commercial Air-Cooled Ice Makers: Easy to Install

When researching the best ice machines for your business, you’ll notice that they fall into three main categories: water-cooled, remote and air-cooled ice machines. This refers to the compressor — as their names suggest, water-cooled units cool with water, air-cooled units cool with air and remote units feature condensers that are housed in another location, such as outside or on the roof. Naturally, these machines have their own distinct pros and cons, and CKitchen is on hand to help you decide if an air-cooled ice maker is your best bet.

The Benefits of an Air-Cooled Ice Machine

The primary pros of cool air ice machines include the fact that they’re easy to install and require only fans and vents as opposed to water lines. Because of this, an air-cooled ice machine is likely to cost much less than a remote- or water-cooled style. This also extends to your long-term operation costs: Because air-cooled units don’t require water for their cooling power, they can save you on water bills in the long-run.

There are a few downsides, too. The unit needs to expel air, therefore it requires clearance above, behind and around the unit. Air-cooled ice makers may also be harder to clean and may emit heat that makes your kitchen hotter. With that being said, some municipalities have regulations against water-cooled units, so an air-cooled style may be the best all-around choice.

If you’ve decided that this is the best kind of commercial ice maker for you, CKitchen can help.
