Classeq suggests using Ice-O-Matic’s web-based calculators when choosing an ice machine
The amount of variables to consider when choosing an ice machine can be quite difficult for someone looking to upgrade, and they present a complete minefield for a first-time user. For a start there are five different types of ice – half cubes, full cubes, gourmet cubes, pearl ice and flake ice, each for a different application. Then there is the type of machine – modular, undercounter, or one with a remote condenser, and that’s before even thinking about the size.
In order to help customers Classeq, who now supply Ice-O-Matic ice machines, suggests that customers should try using the Ice Type Wizard and Machine Size Calculator on the Ice-O-Matic website, www.iceomatic.com, to get an initial idea of what’s available and what will suit them.
“These web-based calculators are a quick and easy tool to find out what sort of machine is suggested for different establishments and uses,” says Classeq’s Nick Burridge. “Because the site is American not all the models are available over here, so for the best advice customers should chat to their distributor. But the calculators serve as a simple diagnostic aid in the first instance and act as an introduction to Ice-O-Matic machines.”
The Ice Wizard prompts users to click on various parameters and then it quickly suggests the most suitable type of ice. Leading on from that the Ice Machine Calculator takes more detailed information including the size of venue, the space available for the ice machine, number of covers served, and number of customers at peak times. From these inputs it matches the machine to the customer’s requirements.
