Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ice machines and blast chillers in a commercial kitchen?

Ice machines produce and store ice for beverage service and food display. Blast chillers rapidly cool hot food to safe temperatures, reducing bacteria growth and preserving texture.

Should I invest in ice machines and blast chillers together for a new restaurant?

Both are important for different reasons. Ice machines and blast chillers serve separate food safety and service functions, so most full-service restaurants benefit from having both.

Which brands are available for ice machines and blast chillers on Zanduco Canada?

Omcan, ITV, Hoshizaki, and Manitowoc supply ice machines, while Trento and Eurodib offer blast chillers suited to different budgets.

Can ice machines and blast chillers run on the same electrical circuit?

Typically not. Ice machines and blast chillers usually require separate dedicated circuits. Check the amperage and voltage requirements of each unit before installation.

How do I choose the right daily production capacity for ice machines and blast chillers?

For ice machines, estimate your peak daily ice demand in pounds. For blast chillers, match the tray capacity to your largest batch size. Both decisions in ice machines and blast chillers depend on your busiest service day.

Are countertop options available in ice machines and blast chillers?

Yes. Countertop ice machines and blast chillers are available for smaller operations with limited floor space. They produce less volume but fit into compact kitchens easily.

Do ice machines and blast chillers come with separate ice storage bins for modular setups?

Modular ice machines require a separate storage bin, while self-contained units include built-in bins. Blast chillers do not require external storage. Browse ice storage bins separately if you choose a modular ice machine.
