Sanitation is an important factor in the ice machine industry. If a health inspector finds un unsanitary ice maker in your food establishment, you could be in some trouble. Plus, an ice maker that has not been cleaned does not produce ice efficiently and will also need more maintenance attention. So then, it is in the interest of your profits to keep your ice maker clean.

Unfortunately, cleaning an ice maker takes time and energy. Many times, cleaning the ice maker is a low priority because there is so much else to do. For this reason, ice machine manufacturer’s have given much attention to the implementation of features that help keep the ice maker clean. Scotsman offers the AquaBullet and AquaArmor which inhibit the growth of mold, bacteria, and algae. Similar to Scotsman’s AquaArmor, Manitowoc is preparing to release its S series of ice makers which feature AlphaSan technology.

Manitowoc has teamed up with Milliken chemical to introduce an advanced ice machine feature which provides a controlled release of silver ions to inhibit the growth of microbes which, when accumulated, produce slime.

What does this mean for you? This means that technological advances have made it possible for you to keep your ice maker cleaner with less attention. Less attention in the long run, less hassle in cleaning, more money up front, do you think its worth it?
