Why Frequent Cleaning of Ice Machines are Vital for Your Business If you have an Ice machine, your ice machine is set to go back into high gear as summer approaches. With that in mind, it's also a good idea to double-check that your ice machine is properly clean, wellmaintained, and ready to use the way it should.

Did you know that according to the sanitation reports of the Health Department, contaminated ice is a public health concern? Did anyone tell you about that? In a commercial context, ice machines are frequently the least well-maintained food machines.


Here are a few of the most significant reasons to have your industrial ice machine maintained on a regular basis. Your Ice Machine is regarded as Food Ice machines are considered critical food equipment since people consume ice with their cuisine. As a result, they must meet the specific sanitary requirements as any other piece of food-handling equipment. By cleaning devices according to manufacturer specifications on a regular basis, you may prevent ice contamination and foodborne illnesses. That usually amounts to two to four cleanings each year. You may wish to clean the machine even more frequently if you use it extensively for your business. Bacteria May Develop in Ice Machines In order to entirely stop the spread of bacterial diseases, ice should be stored and treated as if it were food items. In addition, if your industrial ice maker does not have a robust water filtering system, you may see microbial development and slime-forming bacteria, which is harmful. Finally, if your ice machine is located near a kitchen line or in a restaurant, it is considerably more susceptible to bacterial growth and should be cleaned more frequently. Your Clients Optimum Health Safety You could be making your clients sick by not cleaning the machine frequently, which leads to loss of your business. That is correct. Continuous maintenance of your ice machine is critical for your customers' health and safety and not to mention for your overall business. You can’t take risks at all. If you haven't cleaned your ice machine for quite a while, the odds are strong that it may be a breeding ground for deadly germs, scale, mold, and mildew, especially if you are working at a hotel, restaurant, or bar. Prevent Scale Buildup Did you know that your ice maker produces fresh ice by utilizing numerous pumps, sensors, and valves in conjunction with the other refrigeration components? There might be germs buried if your ice machine has a scale. Your Ice machine has a scale that builds upon a sensor and can severely obstruct a pump. The scale will block the entire valves and other


distribution tubes in the coming term, eventually delaying or entirely shutting down the overall icemaking process. Why Frequent Cleaning? Cleaning your industrial ice machine on a regular basis is a crucial aspect of normal operation. It not only helps to keep your whole operation clean, but it also helps to preserve the quality of your ice, as well as prolong the life and performance of your ice machine. So, don’t ever neglect these signs whenever you are into serious business, as doing so can lead to maximum maintenance and severe cost. Remember, neglecting machine maintenance can reduce production up to 50% and even more.
