Selecting the right commercial ice maker can make or break the efficiency of your operation. From industrial ice machines to under-counter models, the options are vast — but choosing the right one starts with knowing your needs.

Step 1: Understand Your Ice Needs

Ice type matters. Cubed, nugget, or flake ice each serves different purposes. Restaurants may prefer crystal-clear cubes, while healthcare settings might lean toward softer nugget ice.

Step 2: Match Capacity to Demand

A busy seafood market will have vastly different production needs compared to a small café. Overestimating or underestimating production capacity can lead to inefficiency and waste.

Step 3: Consider Energy Efficiency

Modern commercial ice makers, like those from Holiday Ice Inc., are designed to produce more ice with less energy, helping reduce utility bills while supporting sustainability goals.

Step 4: Look at Durability

Industrial environments require machines that can withstand heavy use. Our industrial ice machines are built with stainless steel and high-grade components for long-term performance.
