There are two major factors to consider when choosing an ice machine: capacity and ice forms.
How to Make the Perfect Choice in Ice.
CAPACITY
How much ice do you need? Here are some general guidelines.
QSR: Use 0.9 lb. per customer or 7.4 lbs. per seat. Use 2 oz. per 8- to 10-oz. drink, 4 oz. per 12- to 16-oz. drink,
6 oz. per 20-oz. drink, and 8 oz. per 32-oz. drink.
Restaurant: Use 1.7 lbs. per customer. Use 5.0 lbs. per seat.
Salad Bar: Use 35 lbs. per cubic foot of display. Multiply by 2 or 3, depending on estimated refills required.
Cocktail Lounge: Use 3 lbs. per person.
Lodging: Use 3 lbs. per room (substantially more if guests are allowed to fill ice chests).
Healthcare: Use 7 lbs. per patient per bed. Use 2 lbs. per employee.
Convenience Store/Customer Self-Service: Use 4 oz. per 12-oz. drink, 7 oz. per 20-oz. drink, and 10 oz. per
32-oz. drink. For cold plates, add 50% more.
ICE FORMS

displacement, choose the small cube size.

is versatile and
slow melting. Nugget ice helps drinks to cool rapidly (without wasteful foaming) and stay cool longer,
yet allows drinks to maintain their flavor. The soft bits of ice remain free-flowing at all times and make
iced displays look crisper and stay fresher longer.
Flake Ice
Small, soft bits of ice.
Applications: Blended cocktails, salad bars, produce, seafood and meat displays, therapeutic uses
in healthcare facilities.
Advantages: Scotsman flakes cool more quickly than other forms of ice. This cooling power is combined
with very low production costs. Flakes mold to any shape for convenient use in displays and salad bars.
Gourmet Ice
Available in the CU0515 and CU50 only, these cubes are shaped like a small shot glass.
Applications: Bar use, waitress stations, office suites, break rooms.
Advantages: The hard, crystal-clear cubes are distinctly attractive and slow melting—perfect for mixed
drinks and gourmet drinks. Their size and longevity make them ideal for re-icing glasses,
and their nonstick characteristic makes scooping simple.
