Professional Ice Machines: Freshness at the Service of Your Business

In the hospitality industry, ice is an essential ingredient. Whether it's to chill a sophisticated cocktail, display fish, or keep bottles cool, the constant availability of quality ice is imperative. At Aksora, we offer professional ice machines designed to meet intensive needs. No more stockouts in the middle of service: our equipment guarantees automated, hygienic, and efficient production, tailored to the size of your establishment.

Choosing the Right Type of Ice for Your Business

Not all ice is created equal. The choice of your machine on Aksora.com should be based on the final use:

1. Cube Ice Machine: This is the standard for bars and restaurants. We offer machines that produce solid ice cubes (which melt slowly and don't dilute drinks) or hollow ice cubes (perfect for carbonated drinks thanks to their large heat exchange surface).

2. Flake Ice Machine (or Crushed Ice): Very popular for cocktail bars (Mojitos) and buffets, this ice is easy to mold and cools preparations instantly.

3. Scale Ice Machine: Essential for fishmongers and fresh produce stalls. Its very low temperature and flat shape allow it to perfectly cover food without damaging it, thus extending its shelf life.

Cooling Technology: Air or Water?

This is a crucial technical question when making your purchase at Aksora. The choice of cooling system depends on the location of your machine:

• Air Cooling: This is the most economical and simplest solution to install. However, it requires a well-ventilated space, as the machine generates heat. It is ideal for areas where the ambient temperature remains moderate.

• Water Cooling: Recommended for built-in installations or very hot kitchens. This system is quieter and offers consistent production even in high ambient temperatures. However, it consumes more water.

Production Capacity and Storage: Anticipating Your Needs

The capacity of an ice machine is generally measured by its production over 24 hours. At Aksora, our models range from small countertop machines (20 kg/day) to industrial units exceeding 300 kg/day. It is also crucial to check the capacity of the integrated bin (the storage bin). A machine can produce a lot, but if its bin is too small, production will stop as soon as the bin is full. For very high volumes, we offer production heads to be coupled with large-capacity separate storage bins.

Hygiene, Maintenance, and Water Quality

Ice is a food product. As such, the hygiene of your machine must be impeccable. Our appliances are designed with rounded tanks and efficient drainage systems to prevent water stagnation. Aksora's advice: We strongly recommend installing a limescale filter or water softener upstream of your machine. Limescale is the number one enemy of ice machines; a filter protects the injectors, extends the life of the appliance, and guarantees perfectly transparent and tasteless ice cubes.
