Common Questions About Hotel Ice Machines
How do I clean ice machines for hotels?
Hotel ice makers must be cleaned regularly to prevent the growth of mold, fungus, algae, mildew, and bacteria. Most hospitality ice machines have a simple cleaning cycle that requires you to add the cleaning solution and press a few buttons. You'll repeat the process with a sanitizer and then rinse off the unit and dispose of the first round of ice. The bin should also be manually scrubbed and cleaned during the cleaning cycle – at least every 6 months, in most cases.
How much ice do I need for my hotel?
Since hotels generally need more than one ice maker, you'll have to determine how much ice you need each unit to produce. For example, if you have a machine on each floor, count how many rooms are on that floor; the machine will need to produce 5 pounds per room. If you have a hotel ice machine designated for a bar, it will need 3 pounds per person. An ice machine in a hotel restaurant will need to produce 1.5 pounds per person, and if your venue hosts large events, you may need an additional machine capable of producing 2 pounds for each person in attendance.
Should I get a dispenser or bin with the ice machine head?
The way your ice should be accessed depends on who will be using the unit. Motel ice machines are available with a few different dispenser types and bin sizes. A dispenser is a popular option for customer-facing machines because it reduces physical contact with the ice, keeping it sanitary. A bin, on the other hand, is more accessible for employees and helps streamline use in high-volume settings.
