Ice Makers

Running out of ice during a busy dinner service or weekend rush is not something any restaurant can afford. A commercial ice machine that matches your daily volume keeps drinks cold, bar service running, and buffet displays fresh without interruption. We carry ice makers from Hoshizaki and Atosa in cube, crescent, flake, and nugget styles with production capacities ranging from 142 lbs. to over 2,000 lbs. per day.

Hoshizaki is the backbone of our ice machine lineup. Their KM series produces crescent cubes that melt slowly, displace less liquid in a glass, and stack neatly for consistent drink presentation. The Hoshizaki KM-520MRJ produces up to 547 lbs. per day in a compact 22" wide footprint, making it a great fit for mid-size restaurants. For higher volume, the Hoshizaki KM-1100MRJ handles up to 1,156 lbs. per day, and the Hoshizaki KM-1900SAJ pushes up to 1,875 lbs. per day for large restaurants, hotels, and banquet operations.

If your operation needs nugget or cubelet ice for smoothies, cocktails, soft drinks, or healthcare applications, the Hoshizaki F-1002MAJ-C produces up to 890 lbs. of chewable nugget ice per day and includes the CleanCycle24 automatic cleaning system and an infrared bin sensor. For flake ice used in seafood displays, salad bars, and produce presentation, the Hoshizaki F-2001MRJ delivers up to 2,073 lbs. per day.

For smaller operations, bars, or kitchens with limited floor space, our Atosa undercounter ice makers fit neatly under a counter and come with built-in storage bins. The Atosa YR140-AP-161 produces 142 lbs. of half-diced cubes per day with an 88 lb. storage bin, while the Atosa YR280-AP-161 doubles that output to 283 lbs. per day. Both are self-contained, air-cooled, and built with stainless steel exteriors.

Choosing the right ice machine comes down to three things: how much ice your restaurant uses daily, what type of ice fits your menu, and how the unit will be cooled. A general rule is 1.5 to 2 lbs. of ice per customer per day. Air-cooled units work well in climate-controlled kitchens, water-cooled models perform better in spaces with limited airflow, and remote condenser units move the heat-generating component outside to reduce kitchen temperature and noise. All of our ice machines feature stainless steel construction, digital controls, and Energy Star or NSF certification.
