Being Efficient with Ice-O-Matic Top Air Discharge Ice Machines

May 24, 2016 | No Comments »

MachinesIn a crowded restaurant, any little space is obviously a luxury that many can’t afford. Where can you save some space when most restaurant equipment needs room to breathe to achieve maximum efficiency?

The answer is your ice machine! Unlike most ice machines that exhaust air to the back of the unit, and subsequently drawn back in to the unit (causing performance inefficiency and loss of energy), the Ice-O-Matic Top Air Discharge sends the heat to the top! This keeps the warm exhaust air away from food, customers, other restaurant equipment, and where A/C systems can properly handle hot air.

And what’s best about this awesome technology: Ice-O-Matic is the only company that offers Top Air Discharge Ice Machines as a standard model with no extra cost. Other manufacturers offer it only as an aftermarket kit! These machines are signage friendly and considerably less expensive to purchase and install than a remote system.

The 30” top air solution is available on ICE0250 – ICE0606 30” wide cube machines, and on 1500 lb. cube ice machines. It is compatible with all 30”and higher bin options and many 30”+ dispensers. The 22” solution is available on ICE0320 – ICE0520 22” wide cube machines and compatible with beverage dispensers and 22” storage bins.

May 18, 2016 | No Comments »

ESTFL_PICThe new EnergyStar Front-Loading Dishmachine from CMA packs a lot of punch in a small space! Smaller food operations can have the huge convenience of having a commercial upright dishmachine, while saving energy and space!

Its performance keeps up with larger machines too! A small amount of water (1.09 gallons per rack) is used to clean dishes in 90 second cycles. A sump and scrap tray catches food so that it doesn’t go down the drain. An option to include a hot water assurance tank that heats incoming water can be added, as it guarantees a hot water temperature between 120°F and 140°F to wash your dishes thoroughly!

Take a look at the video to see what its capabilities are!
