Common Questions About Manitowoc Ice Dispensers

How does a Manitowoc ice and water dispenser work?

Manitowoc commercial ice dispensers are intricate pieces of machinery that produce crystal-clear ice without active staff involvement, saving labor that can be spent on more involving tasks. Manitowoc ice dispensers are often used in self-serve operations, alongside drink stations, or at water filling stations in a restaurant.

The actual production of cube and half-cube ice starts by pumping water into the food zone and water trough acting as water reservoirs for ice production. Water then flows through a distributor, cascading evenly over the ice maker's evaporator plate, which then freezes the water into ice. Any water that doesn't freeze to the plate falls back into the trough, starting the cycle from the beginning. A curtain shields the evaporator to prevent water getting onto other components in the food zone.

Why should I get a Manitowoc ice dispenser over a non-dispensing ice machine?

The dispensing function is what really sets these machines apart, and adding one enables employees or guests to access ice quickly and easily. The water dispensing function also provides access to clean, filtered water with no hassle. Manitowoc countertop ice dispensers can increase ice capacity without requiring extra floor space, and smaller units can be stationed in multiple areas for even more convenience.
