Nugget Ice Machine Selection Guide: Manitowoc, Scotsman, and Ice-o-Matic
NOTE: Water-cooled commercial ice makers can consume upwards of 200 gallons of water a day. This type of commercial ice machine is generally recommended for facilities located in an environment that is too hot for an air-cooled machine. Hot environments can also benefit from a remote system where the compressor and condenser are placed in another room or outside although this will require the services of a refrigeration technician.
Recommendation: The production level of the commercial ice maker depends a lot on water temperature. If water is very warm,there is going to be a difference in how much ice it can produce. You need to have cold water and normal ambient temperature to ensure maximum output. A heat exchanger like the System IV ChillTech is a great way to do just that. You can expect a 20% increase in the amount of ice you make for lower energy consumption.
