Commercial Nugget Ice Machines: Profitable, Powerful All-Rounders
Nugget ice is highly sought after in the industry due to its ability to enhance the drink experience for customers in multiple ways. Not only is it chewable, but its unique ability to absorb the flavors of beverages transforms nugget ice into more than just a means of chilling drinks - it becomes a delicious after-drink snack for your guests. Additionally, its rapid cooling performance makes it perfect for salad bars.
The healthcare industry also relies on nugget ice, as it melts slowly and is softer and easier to chew for patients who struggle with traditional ice cubes. We offer the lowest prices guaranteed on these machines, just like we do for all other commercial ice machines.
Nugget ice machines, sometimes referred to as sonic ice machines, come in various styles to accommodate operations of all sizes and types. The main consideration is the production capacity. Nugget ice machines can produce as little as 50 pounds of ice every 24 hours, all the way up to over 2,000 lbs.
Countertop nugget ice makers and undercounter units allow you to maximize available space while still producing enough ice to support medium to large operations. Since they have their own storage bins, storage capacity is also something to consider.
We are trusted by the top ice machine manufacturers in the world. We are your best source for cutting-edge nugget ice machines from brands like Scotsman, Manitowoc, Ice-O-Matic, AMPTO, and Hoshizaki, all equipped with high-tech features such as smart control panels.
Like most commercial ice machines, nugget ice makers come in two popular cooling options: air-cooled and water-cooled. They also come in convenient formats for businesses looking for countertop options, undercounter setups, or small and portable equipment.
Air-cooled nugget ice machines are generally considered the most economical and cost-effective. They do not require additional water to operate and often achieve Energy Star certifications. They rely on ambient temperature to efficiently freeze water and produce the maximum amount of ice. It is important to allow for extra clearance space for ventilation.
On the other hand, water-cooled nugget ice machines are ideal for environments where the air temperature regularly exceeds 80 degrees Fahrenheit. They may also be a better choice for commercial kitchens and other spaces with poor air circulation and a higher level of air contaminants. Since water-cooled nugget ice makers do not require ventilation, no extra space is typically needed
