Manitowoc ice machines keep up with summer ice demand.
Summertime is the time for long cooling drinks. A glass full of crystal clear, long lasting ice is a must for summer drinks – it means not only do they look attractive and stay cooler for longer, they actually taste better so customers come back for more.
Serving superior summer drinks takes a commitment from the bar or restaurant – staff need to be trained on how to serve these drinks and to have access to large quantities of fresh, sparkling ice to keep the glasses topped up. Investing in a reliable, quality ice machine not only ensures a constant supply of ice but also that the ice is pure, clean and produced hygienically.
In the UK Winterhalter distributes Manitowoc ice makers. These American machines are highly reliable and energy efficient. The S1800 cube ice machines are especially suitable for venues that require high quantities of ice for drinks. The S1800 series produce up to a staggering 853kg of ice daily and can be fitted with a huge 642kg capacity storage bin if desired.
The S1800 machines are extremely energy efficient and quiet in operation. Energy saving measures include matching the compressor to work in tandem with the evaporator and using a patented air assist ice removal technology to cut the time required to harvest the ice. The base and cabinet are constructed from foam-filled injection-moulded plastic to dampen any noise generated from inside the machine.
To maximise ice production and minimise downtime the S1800 ice makers are extremely easy to service. Hinged front doors allow quick, easy access and there is a no-tools removal system for the main components. An automatic cleaning programme which operates at the touch of a button means the machine is always kept clean, hygienic and running at maximum efficiency.
The S1800 machines can produce dice and half dice ice cubes depending on the model. The dice ice cube melts very slowly, and gives superb chilling power to a drink. It can also be used for bulk ice use, such as in ice buckets or for filling beer bottle dumps. But for many drinks ‘on the rocks’, the favourite is the half-dice ice, as this thinner cube fills smaller glasses more easily. Half-dice ice is also easy to blend down and kinder to blender blades, making it great for cocktails and smoothies.
