When selecting an ice maker, match the daily production (kg/24h) to your peak service demand. A busy cocktail bar or hotel may require 50–100kg daily; smaller cafés typically need 20–35kg. Storage capacity determines how long ice lasts between cycles—larger bunkers reduce cycling and noise.
Air-cooled units are standard for commercial kitchens and easier to site than water-cooled alternatives. Check water supply and drainage access, as well as the machine's footprint against your counter layout. Most models produce clear or crescent-shaped ice suited to beverage service.
